Another milestone I guess

Sorry, wasn't sure where to post this.

Hi, I have some friends coming out from the UK for the cricket.

As it's a day game this year, they would prefer not to sit in the sun. Are you able to help me with where would be a good place to sit.

I understand that the Western Stand gets the most shade, but I believe that stand is only for members.

Thanks

Riverbank stand top deck - GA is usually towards the top end - gives a good view

Eastern Stand gets full sun

Tassie Devils under threat after the effin politicians get all political!!

Will be an interesting fall out from the no confidence motion … if we are forced into another election, I reckon the delays could possibly kill the whole thing.

Labor are Pro-Stadium so unless there is mass panic it should still be ok - but you never know.

A cost blow out of that magnitude is never good for a pollie, but I cant see the project falling over.

Here's another 1 from The Age, specific to the "fiasco"

First sentence

"Adelaide are refusing to say why they effectively dobbed themselves in to the AFL for a secret deal which could kill Kurt Tippett's bid to join Sydney."

Tippett's murky deal leads to AFL probe

Adelaide are refusing to say why they effectively dobbed themselves in to the AFL for a secret deal which could kill Kurt Tippett's bid to join Sydney.

Stupidly, Trigg believed he had scuppered the "deal" John Reid had put in place with Tippett while he was overseas. He did not get it in writing (they often did the old "gentleman's hand shake" back then, but Tippett's prick manager was having none of that) but as far as he (Trigg) was concerned it was a non entity. When asked about "the deal" by the board, of course Trigg denied it, believing he'd put a stop to it. When he was ultimately found out to be mistaken (after Blucher pointed this out to Trigg), he came clean to the board, who came clean to the AFL.

Why is an enclosed stadium with a roof so important?

You been to Tassie in winter?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

You been to Tassie in winter?

I just had a look at Hobart's forecast and that looks like heaven to me.

It's not like it stops them playing football now & not really too different to Melbourne.

The stadium should not stop Tassie from coming into the AFL... & they should have come in years ago.

I just thought of season 8 and now I'm traumatised.

We are talking about playing every second week and pulling decent crowds and I’d say a lot more night games.

Opposition supporters are more likely to make a trip to a covered stadium than one without it, which will be a boost for tourism

Do you think that Tasmania shouldn't be able to have a side without a new stadium?

They used to get plenty of games when Roos & Hawks both played games & got ok crowds.

The team will require a massive government subsidy. Without the covered oval the subsidy will have to be even bigger.
The devils will make the pear look like a profitable organisation

Still won't leak as much as Gold Coast, GWS & some lower Melbourne clubs...

 

[Mr_Moogle]

The real issue here is if Tassie doesn't happen, Port's rebuild won't be stifled.

A new stadium is going to increase the odds of the whole thing being a success. So without it I don’t believe it’s worth the investment

Kochie has already said the Power don't do rebuilds.

AFL clubs rebuilding is “an excuse for failure”, says Port's David Koch

“Good clubs don’t talk about rebuilds.”

He's gone full Trigg. This is all bluster though. You don't choose to rebuild, the rebuild chooses you. I think even Port will realise the time for bandaid solutions is over.
