The Perth Thread - Part 4

Can't say I am but they are pretty well supported. Got 11,000 to the last game and the GF is sold out. Had no idea it was that popular. Pity I don't like netball, would be nice to support a Perth team that doesn't stink.

Just a shame the game is at Rod Laver arena instead of RAC arena

I know a West Australian team that's going alright if that helps.

Definitely not the Glory

Isn’t netball the most participated female sport in the country? I think the Fever seem to have been able to turn those participants into fans. They get the biggest crowd attendances in the country for the sport. Meanwhile, Glory can only manage 5k with free tickets.

Only because Victoria bought the rights for three years!

Nar, Glory get upwards of 10k with free tickets. Their issue is when they are shit nobody wants to pay the exorbitant ticket prices.

average attendance has been about 6 for the last season but they had that 11k one against the victory with the free tix.

Greatest sport on earth

Soccer is shit but that's because I support Manchester United.

Well so much for the nice sunny weather we've been having the last few days, it's back to the cold and rainy weather again today.

 

[Scotland]

Up to 15mm Sat, 10mm Sun forecast.

31 and 16 the weekend just gone, 10 and 41 a week ago, 24 the Sunday before that.

Bullshit. Can the weather gods not get it out of their system on Wednesdays and Thursdays?

 

[blueboy25]

City of Joondalup have stopped all sport trainings on their ovals from yesterday until friday to help the grounds recover from the recent rains. Some ovals are in really bad shape due to the amount of traffic they get on them. I believe City of Wanneroo have done the same.

Cue my surprise when I walked past my local oval this morning which is home to a large junior and senior football club and the sprinklers are on.

Great effort COJ

And cancelled access again this week.

Transfer from Scotland to Hobart, stopped here for checks, crewing and replenishment I think

That was the vibe I got last time I was there. Thanks.

Is that the new ferry that the Tassie government odered and to be built in Scotland but its actually two big for the terminal in Hobart!!!

Bemused Scots flock to dock for a ‘wry chuckle’ at stranded Tasmanian ferry that helped sink a premier

Spirit of Tasmania IV has been docked at port of Leith near Edinburgh since December after state government did not build a dock big enough to support it

I think that raises more questions than it answers.
