Possible International Champions Cup in Australia

[plague]

Regardless of the entities involved the AFL had to react the way they did, whether it matters or not. As a long term tenant they have been shafted for a short term gain. If AFL management did/said nothing then they get walked over every time. By the AFL putting on a hissy fit the MCG will now complete the dance by putting an arm around the AFL and buying them some long stem roses and taking them away somewhere nice for the weekend.
Then all parties will feel vindicated and normal service will resume.

Business 101 really.

They don't have a pot to piss in though so their complaints are just utter self absorbed whinging.

They have no legal contract to the MCG. They are just a leasee.


No different if Middleby is told we can't play at Hunter Stadium cause they want to put monster trucks on again.

Yeah they don't own the ****ing joint. They apply to get a booking. Just like every other **** who wants to use it does. They have just been told in advance we are booked out that weekend

Yes I read the article too.
You need to start proof reading some of your rambles before hitting the submit button.
You also need to realise that even though the MCG has triggered the clauses in its contract to free up the dates, the AFL still has a lot of leverage over the joint. Fact is no one else in Australia can cost effectively rent the joint out as many days as AFL can per year.
That means something whether you like it or not.

A lot of people would be happy to have both, and it looks like they'll get their wish.

Its a Champions Cup after all so why would ManUre be invited when they can't even qualify for Europe except via the Fair Play award these days???

Mods think it's time to change the title of the thread. No need for Possible to be there now.

Because the Victorian State Government put in $10million

[Premy]

Whilst I'm talking about Government spend.

It looks as though.
NSW Government has got the All Stars game against Arsenal for what is rumored to be $3million
QLD Government look to have sealed a deal for Liverpool to play Roar is rumored to be $5million
S.A Government trying to jump on the back of the QLD bid to get Liverpool to play at Adelaide oval against Adelaide, haven't seen a price tag of that bid yet.

Manchester City confirmed today.

[Grimario]

Roma confirmed as third side today

[Premy]

Tickets on sale next week.

ICC confirmed it will returned to Australia for another 3 years after next year.
Barcelona and Chelsea are early favorites to tour in 2016.

The Victorian State Government believe the tournament will create an extra $50 million to the economy over the 7 days of the tournament.
