good news for mine.  We're not ready for the dome - and especially not on a monday night which is already going to be an experiment for us.  The last year with monday night games we were at the dome and wasn't exactly a spike in attendance

It's bad news, it's just AFL trying to keep us down again as usual.

How is it the AFL? We get to play at our home stadium rather than being forced to play at a venue which has never done us any favours.

Well I just see how well the victory have done and thought that could be us.  They were only averaging about 15k at OP and now they are at 30K or something.

After 10 years its time to take a risk.

I think this is a little disapointing although im not overly fussed. I think if we're going to play a home final at the dome we have to get used to the venue

I think the Storm should try to aim to use TD for the Broncos match later on this year.
If we can get the stands pulled in and have a massive advertising blitz, I can see a crowd of +18K in attendance.

Monday night football is an experiment in itself down here.  To me, moving it to the dome would not have been a good idea, as depending on crowd figures, we would not be able to determine which experiment worked/didn't work.

We are considering moving the Friday night and Saturday night games to the Dome.

If I ban the ISP, I won't be able to get on anymore!

I have made enquiries with that ISP, and they'll be investigating the user. If we press a harassment claim against the user, the account will be deactivated.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

As for the tool above, 'the ignore function is your friend'
