 Boast Boast Boast:-
We still have the record for the largest staduim crowd at a regular event,
some 128K at the MCG (Used to stock 120K on a regular basis, but the
governments decided that it was "Unsafe" to have standing crowds)
So now it sits 93K. The new stadium at the Docklands is 110k. Not bad for a
country of less than 20e6
