Even though I don’t pay, I wish they did it earlier. Instead they waited until the very last moment to do it, eroding all of the already dubious quality and substituting it with click bait, so now I really don’t wanna pay

Yeah but how much were crowds DOWN in 2017, with no concerts?

You'd need to work with 2016 figures to determine whether the increase from last year, is still down on the year before.

Race day figures sort of relative to the popularity of the entertainment.

Quite often the Saturday night concerts seemed a better line up.

TDU attracts 700k-800k each year as a comparison.

Not really a comparison, it's free to attend and covers hundreds of kilometers around the state.

And we can contain the petrolheads to 20km2 area.

Do you follow Piers Morgan on twitter?

Nope. Please don't tell me I sound like that twat...

I made a comment on Sunday night during a small break in the Robbie Williams show. Women all around were dripping with excitement while Williams was on stage, he was lucky to get out alive.

Some of his back up dancers, damn, hand picked by Mr Williams I'd say, were in almost in G string costumes. I made mention of how the ladies in the crowd were looking at Williams, but would I get away with it if I made comment about the girls on stage? I think not and, funnily enough, several women around me looked at me with nods of acknowledgement and understanding, seemingly in agreement with me.

Ok, I won't.

Thanks...that was a close one...

A glaring example of this is Julia Morris on IACGMOOH. I've only watched one episode, and in that episode she'd made comments about wanting to watch a male contestant shower, and also made comments about the Bondi Vet.

Imagine if the Bondi Vet made the same sort of comments about a female contestant. No danger of him saying anything about Julia.
