We have always been and still are the third major venue in Australia and how many people would we get if our test was rostered in the holiday period as Melbourne's and Sydney are. With the test being brought forward by the 3 days our test wasn't even during school holidays.

In fairness Brisbane was probably the most effected from the rescheduling
imho in order it goes
Melbourne- by far the biggest and best
Sydney- New Years test
Brisbane- first test of the year, anticipation massive, huge build up, imagine day 1 would be one of the highest tv rating day in the cricket calender
Adelaide- great carnival atmosphere comes alive day 4-5, well supported test
Perth- good fun to watch for the express bowlers

The WACA is an absolute tip and even the old Adelaide Oval had it easily covered. What has happened to the Adelaide Oval is phenominal and looking back its hard not to shake your head at the old ground and ask yourself "why was I against this"? Went to last night's game and the ground oozes tradition and all I heard from everyone when the game wasnt on was people talking about the names around the stadium and how good they were as a sportsman and their memories. Just a fantastic experience.

Per capita Adelaide holds up very well in both footy and cricket against anywhere in Australia.

And we could extrapolate that out to any country town where three-quarters of the 500 people go and watch the local footy and netball.
Sometimes this whole Melbourne is the sporting capital rubbish sh!ts me, although I suppose it has to be because it's a sh!thole otherwise.

Really?
I absolutely LOVE Melbourne. Easy to get around, alive, buzzing the entire time. Sporting events you can't jump over. Great bars and cafe's, shopping, lifestyle. Why oh why did I move back?!?!?!!?

I'm probably not the most seasoned traveler, Melbourne 6-8 times including for footy, tennis and horses. Been to Sydney same amount of times, Hobart/Tassie a handful, Canberra and Perth once, little bit of travelling in country NSW. Each time I have been to Melbourne I have moderately enjoyed some of it, but can't put any of those times ahead of any of the other trips. Overrated IMO.
