Probably still haven't started it. Remember, they're building it on top of a carpark, so that has to be built first.
Melbourne beat Sydney on shootouts which i missed because I had to get to the train station because my folks got stuck because someone jumped in front of their train on the way back from the footy. Anyway a shocking injury to a sydney player. Basically he fell and the melbourne player fell on top and they were sliding along the ice. The melbourne player got up, the sydney player didn't. The game was stopped for a about 15mins until he started to move and ambo's came. I was scared a blade of a skate may have hit his face.

The Brisbane Blue Tongues have caught the Gold Coast bug and relocated there for 2008.Egan wrote:I couldn't see them moving across the nullabor. Gold Coast could be a possible venture.
I reckon Sydney would top the list.

Gold Coast seems to be a distinctively different sporting town then Brisbane. From the brief exposure, the locals will support anything with the Gold Coast in front of them (other then the National Rugby Competition)paul wrote:

Re: AIHL 2007
A bit of a bump.
But was watching Channel 10 and apparently Perth are going to be entered into the AIHL next season. They meet all the criteria and they beat Adelaide a few weeks ago.
However if there main base is the Cockburn Ice Arena, they would be stupid not to call themselves Fremantle...

Re: AIHL 2007
So it turns out the AIHL is on fox sports. God bless cable television.
From the looks of things this league is a watchable standard. Not enough mungrel though.
I'm surprised by the size of the crowd for Melbourne V Mustangs (whoever they are). Could be close to 1,000. That's like, almost half the size of a roller derby crowd in Tuggeranong.

Yeah, went to Melbourne in February and mate said the Melbourne team is building a bigger venue because it sells out their venue every week.
