50,000 crowd shoehorned into the Adelaide oval bodyline test.

The most genteel of Australian cricket grounds as David Frith described it in the ABC's documentary on the Bodyline series.
Most of them probably complaining that the game started in mid-January...

I first went in ~1980 when I was 5. Aus vs WI. Don't remember a thing except Australia batted, because my mum was disappointed. She wanted to see 6s.
Next went for my 11th Birthday with my Dad, and saw AB make 200 ~1986.

We weren't deemed worthy of test cricket for another 40 years. And it's only since 2012 that WA, Qld and Tasmania have received equal representation as members of Cricket Australia. (It was totally on-brand for the SACA to oppose those reforms, by the way.)
If you treat some states like second-class citizens (CA chairman's words, not mine), then what exactly do you expect?

I expect CA to respect the paying public by rewarding those cities that the crowds turn up to.
Imagine the outrage and sooking of the Vics if the MCG test was changed? You'd be happy with that?
Yeah, I'd love it. It'd be interesting to see how many Victorians would turn up during the school term or on a workday. And I'm pretty confident that Boxing Day would sell out wherever it was played.
But comparing a Boxing Day tradition of 40+ years with a pre-Christmas timeslot that has happened a handful of times is quite the reach.
Looks like a Japanese lunar lander coming in to land.
