Not sure us not playing up here is entirely to do with the pitch quality or availability.

I thought FFA had a fee for promoting these games against international teams in the order of $250,000. Don't think its as simple as throwing the gates open for free.

And then, would FFA want to allow the team that played the All-Stars to then go on and play other club teams in promoted matches.......I don't think so. I suspect this being behind closed doors is as much to do with the FFA wanting to protect the All-Stars concept as any other influence.

Then again, maybe Juventus just want a low key hit out?

Either way, we have a game against quality opposition for once. Better than playing an understrength Weston.
