Wow!!!! Another immediate reply from you.

Lol 4.5 hours is immediate now. sure

You must sit in your little backpackers shelter and tap away messages to me and sit there salivating until I reply lololololol!!!! You desperately need a life sookie.

Yes that 4.5 hour time gap really means i was just itching to respond.

Maybe try counting clouds pal. Extrapolate the numbers and start a cloud war between hemispheres lololololol!!!!! That might replace your only raison d'etre.

Your an obsessive tool. And this is yet another example of such. Nevertheless it seems Im able to continue doing what i do and continue to gain followers on twitter regardless of your feelings on the matter - and they are literally limited to you in this regard. Not that I was ever limited to tv ratings in the first place.

Hope this helps sookie. And please think clearly before madly tapping out another message to me. Its becoming embarrassing.

You really should take a good look at yourself. I dont know if its fucking jealousy or just plain ignorance, but its not healthy for you and you should get it seen to.

Oh and Im by no means joking. This is textbook obession from you.

What was the crowd at Manuka yesterday ? Seemed pretty full on the TV.

Dunno Freddo. But the joint only holds 12k so even a sellout is nothing to write home about.

holds 14,500
crowd was 13,080

was apparently a sellout

maybe
wasn't capacity tho

Yeah - on tv looked packed. Is that the capacity for when afl play there? I know Gabb has differing capacity based on what is being played (for some reason).

Like the “G” on Thursday - my son and I were looking around wondering where the extract 7 thousand would fit as could not see a vacant seat. I guess when you have standing room areas it’s hard as all seats may be full but may seem they could fit extra in standing room? I don’t know really.

Geez - maybe taking games away from Tassie now they are getting a team - under 5000 is extremely low - obviously they are now waiting for “their” team - which you can’t blame them but still - that’s a crap crowd.

And the Suns - watch a bit at Crown sports bar today - ordinary game and crown sucks so hit a lane way for lunch - watched on phone (p.s. Melbourne you are amazing - great food and cheap prices - the museums and shrine - the crowds at the G - amazing place) and crowd looked under 10000 but understand tv is not a great way to gauge crowd figures. Thinking next weeks battle of Brisbane will be interesting.

The suns crowd was again, a bit disappointing.

11,440 at Carrara apparently

yea right
if that ground was half full I'll eat my hat

8,000 max

the crowd in Tassie was a real eye opener

perfect weather
but a crowd that would of embarrassed the A league , i think this is what the future holds when the novelty wears off after 5 years with an under performing team in a small city struggles.

no wonder the AFL was adamant they didn't want a team there

You make a good point there that I hadn’t considered - when the devils are not doing so well is this what we see? You are right - this would embarrass the A league and, in the past, some nrl clubs, but is not afl standard. I could understand if it were terentual rain and miserable (went to a suns game like that with similar type crowd but whether was a shocker) - I thi k you may be right in the afl”s concerns.

yeah good point, especially with the population of Greater Hobart sitting at 250k and not really growing.

Its not often I defend the fumbling game but I think this attendance is something of an outlier. It was between a Melb team coming last and an Adelaide team under performing. Neither side would have much of a following in little Tassie.

Once a Tassie side enters the comp (if it ever does) the locals will probably go nuts over it initially and attendances should be much more than interstate sides playing there.

The problem will be if they don't perform but they can't get any lower than North Melb on the ladder so will always pull a bigger crowd than last weekend.
