Why bother redeveloping Blundstone or KGV, they would have to be completely flattened. Looking at google maps, to me it was obvious that the stadium should be built in that wasteland just south of the Cenotaph. Walking distance of city centre, good transport links (for Tassie at any rate). You...
So say you're a typical passionate footy fan from the North, you'll probably get around 2000 like you a match travelling down to Hobart, especially if you have 2 or 3 matches at YP to keep you happy. Now the population of Hobart is around 270K, compared to Melbourne's 5mill. In Melbourne...

FWIW though, a stadium of 20-25,000 should be more than...
How about this.
Why dont the likes of North and the Bulldogs play a match or two at Skilled next year just to see what it's like. Can be against GWS or GC if they want.
