No Blundstone Arena/Bellerive Oval thread for Tassie?
Dont start
Would you like the honors?
The problem with Hobart is for a small city it's relatively well spread out and can take over half an hour with traffic to get to Bellerive Oval and people just don't bother - well some don't. Aurora Stadium is within 10 minutes of probably 60k people - most of the city - and it's easy to get out of if you just go by bus or park in the city. It is odd that the capital has a 15k stadium and the smaller city a 21k stadium.
Well that's just the politics of it though isn't it? Pollies trying to win seats up north is what caused it all.
Half an hour for traffic? Sounds like a dream for most Victorians going to the footy. Tasmanians won't have a bar of it though. It's a bit ridiculous.
IMO its not that it might take 1/2 hour to get to Bellerive, its the bloody bun fight to get near it & drive around for a park & then its another bun fight to get out of the area when any sort of crowd turns up. Thats the problem.
The beuty of living in a small city is that most things are close & its not too hard to get about the place. So yes we are spoiled in that regard.
As I've said before, Bellerive is a very nice ground, built in nice surrounds, next to a beach. A bloody stupid place to build a stadium.
I just cant imagine the traffic mess on those little streets if they build it up to a 20k stadium.
I know the seating at UTas.Hey guys,
Finding it quite difficult to find info about the seating at UTAS and where the dripline is..
We are travelling to Tas for the game v GWS with the little ones and thought to play it safe and book seats undercover but not sure which stand/where the dripline is?
Can anyone direct me where I can find this info?
Cheers
I know the seating at UTas.
The lecturer is up the front. Then the Asian students, then the rest of us dozey bastards up the back. Many others still in the Uni bar as they hate lectures.
You've forgotten the mature age student who sits in the front row and thinks (wrongly) that dozens of people in a lecture theatre give a s**t about his irrelevant anecdotes.
