[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1167572, member: 45355"] yeah, i dont think Aussie rugby wider problems will effect much about the tour other than the results, the hard core fans will still rock up and there will be a decent whack of curious others that just love an "event" you cant underestimate how big AFL is though, of the 18 teams 16 are claiming over 50k paying memberships, 7 over 80k and 3 over 100k 6 of the top 8 teams (in terms of members) are based in melbourne (and geelong is only 40 mins down the road), its not unusual to get +80k people to a mid season mid table (ie nothing to play for) game thats why so many of us were surprised RA stuck with the Rebels...the sole professional rugby team in melbourne who would be stoked to get 15k (probably 10k) to a game [/QUOTE]
