I tend to agree.Wedgie wrote:Those thoughts have already been dispelled with the facts that the AFL membership and attendance is at an all time high and are quite remarkable when compared to any other sport in the world. Its a local issue (if in fact it is an issue which is debatable).
I blame the local downturn on the fact that the local AFL teams might move to Adelaide Oval and that scares the bejesus out of any sane person.
If I decided to go to an AFL match I'd feel happier about being able to find a park in reasonable walking distance and be able to get away from a suburban ground rather than travel both ways through or around the edge of the CBD.
Similarly, I tend to go to Marion rather than Rundle Mall to shop - it may be further, but it is quicker and less frustrating.
