What money goes to lower levels now? An AFL team would increase awareness in the community and thus sponsorship.Tas team will require money that would have gone to the lower levels
Oh dearI meant from Tas football.
WA & SA clubs make profits which are distributed to the state league.
Tas team will require money that would have gone to the lower levels (government sports funding) to continue existing.

When has he said this? Pretty sure he wants North and Hawks out and Tassie to come in in 2025Tassie premier is aiming low with his ambit. Go for your own team plus north or hawthorn playing home games. 13 weeks in a 19 week season if that's how it eventuates. Keep all three and its every week.
That way they have AFL football most weeks in the season, and better to fund a great stadium
Either that or a big fancy new stadium at Mac PointRedevelopment of TCA ground into a stadium would’ve been much better than wasting money on Bellerive oval which surrounded by houses

Wouldn't make sense for North to stay if we had our own team. Their crowds would be awful.Pretty sure most want that. The only ones that wouldn’t is the AFL & North. They’d end up with needing a few extra dollars and the AFL will have to pick up the tab. The Vic government will not let north die, they’ll want to keep them for some of the reasons tassie wants a side. For them it’s about their economy which due to COVID has a 6.5 billion dollar deficit so it’s pretty important for the Vic government to.

I don't think the fans want to stay in Tassie. They want to play all of their games in Melbourne, but they either don't show up or don't exist, which makes that very hard.

It is the perfect spot for Hobart’s main stadium. And plenty of room. Just need to get past the National Trust. The 1890s Heritage listed stand and Ladies stand are behind the goals and could be incorporated into the design. Much like the SCG.Ive watched a decent amount of games up there. The wind chill factor is 10/10. You freeze. I did a few cricket clinics up there in summer as a kid n it was pretty cold even then. The location is the best location for transport, restaurants & nightlife’s imo but most older people like to be in comfort these days. It’s why my brother down there won’t go to local footy “I’m not sitting on wooden bench seats freezing my ass off”. I will say though on a nice sat arvo I’d agree it’s the best location.
Should have been a full study into all the locations at the time to see which one should have been prioritised for redevelopment going forward. The media put a few ideas up a few times but nothing concrete by the government. Kent pushed the Showgrounds redevelopment pretty hard. Petty local politics destroyed it imo.
at the time I’d imagine the choices would have been TCA, North Hobart(sentimental I’d say), Bellerive, Showgrounds, KGV & Brighton. Like madmug has said Bellerive was a terrible decision to redevelop that place. No off street parking, no room for an enlarged foot print, no restaurant strip, no nightlife, terrible for public transport, no accommodation close by etc if you’d been doing a feasibility study Bellerive would have come in last. At least Brighton had easy access for people coming from the north of the state.

NH Oval expansion as looked at 40 yrs ago would have been great too. Hobart City Council too stupid then, & now.
Anyway, IMO.
I doubt the southern wing could’ve been developed at NH. Subiaco had similar issues. The people across the road would have been in shadow for most of winter.I always believed that’s why elite sports walked away from anything close to the cbd. The HCC were and probably still are impossible to deal with. Basketball, football & cricket knew that redevelopment had to happen for their chosen sport to move forward & it was never going to happen with the HCC so Hobart ended up with the two main sporting stadiums, Bellerive & DEC, outside the cbd.
I always believed state governments should have stepped in and made it a matter of state significance and been able to bypass the HCC.

Yes, but I don't think that was a 'thing' back then.
Mac Point with a stadium & indoor venue (27k & 6k) would have been brilliant, but it takes imagination.
Its like the cable car issue now. All the garbage about 'pristine' & 'heritage' is just crap. The mountain has cars & diesel busses spewing smog going up & down that crowded road. It has walking & bike tracks crisscrossing all over it, (No doubt pizzing all over it). Huge TV towers on top since the 1960's. Just ultra dumb to not want to reduce the increasingly dirty & dangerous traffic congestion on it. We nearly got cleaned up last year by tourists who didnt read the traffic direction signs at the top!
(Steps back quietly off soap box )
what annoys me the most about the cable car is the misinformation going around by the anti's. And the fact that it is the HCC who is in charge. You get the GCC or the CCC involved in the actual running of Hobart, things might change in the middle of the city. But no, can't build this, can't build that. According to HCC, the welcome bloody stranger is a heritage building. Anyway.....Yes, but I don't think that was a 'thing' back then.

Mac point would be perfect but HCC. Never going to happen with those nancies around. Perhaps there is a chance with KGV with the new redevelopment of the close by DEC. Build the appropriate infrastructure around there to share plus Glenorchy next door. But I can't see the government spending any new money when Bellerive has had a lot spent on it already.
C'mon mate, don't be like that. One thing I've noticed after moving here is the Tasmanian aversion to walking. For Hurricanes games I've always parked in Bellerive village and never had a problem getting a park.I agree, we're stuck with Bellerive. Nice facility, stupidly built next to a beach & in a small village area. A nightmare to get near with any crowd over about 5k.

I don’t think getting a park is such an issue but getting out of the area when it’s gridlocked with cars and busses and foot traffic is
I live in the Glebe and it takes me 10 minutes instead of 5 normally to get home. It could be better but almost no one in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney or Adelaide is getting home in 10 minutes.I don’t think getting a park is such an issue but getting out of the area when it’s gridlocked with cars and busses and foot traffic is

A ferry from the yacht club into the city would be fantastic. In 30 minutes you could be in Salamanca.
It's as good a reason as any to get that service running.
