Some snaps from the opening day.

The Lane 1 end of Moonah where the removed stand was to be located, sparsely populated.

A solid crowd watches on behind lanes 15 through 18. Plenty of noise and colour throughout the day.

The majority of spectators gathering at the Cafe end for todays action.

Alan Coleman leads Tasmania off on Lane 14 in the first game.

Day 2: And a large Sunday crowd watches on on a cold day.

Some legends of the past gather to watch Tasmania in action.

Another shot of the crowd gathered (It's a bit blurred, I nearly fell off the seat with this one)

Thanks George
It'll be quite interesting to see how many more people come in for Rachuig, the Masters, De Veer and the rest of the Nationals.
The centre is fairly small and gets quite crowded, the majority of the crowd seem to be concentrated up towards the centre and cafe end, the area where the stand was - it was pulled down by the company that constructed it because of 'safety concerns' - has been very thinly populated throughout the tournament, so a stand could be put there, but I doubt AMF will pay for it to be reinstated now.
As for seating, there are rows of plastics seats for people to sit on down behind the settee area, and behind those rows of seats there are table and chairs which seem to be well taken up.
Most of the crowd seem to want to stand, and wander up and down the concourse watching the action.
On the day's where it has been quite warm, the atmosphere has been very stuffy in the place, but on days like yesterday - where it was 7C at 2pm - it was a fair bit more comfortable.
I'd say that it'll be pretty packed in there come Rachuig time, hopefully the noise and atmosphere will be like the old days.
