Hypocrite

Wrong. If we had stadia repeatedly left sparse, and thousands petitioning the government to stop wating money, you'd have a point

Hypocrite

well it's certainly different to Sydney's indifference to sport. If you get no stadia upgrades it's your own fault for preferring TV

You make a great point lol.

If it does fall over, which is looking more and more likely, you could definately say the massive lack of crowds at games was a factor.
But to root cause it you have to look at governance.
The nuffies at National Flogby League hq are hell bent to please the broadcasters and all their advertiser's.
At a very heavy price. Imo
Attendees of games seem to be way way down the list of considerations.
So far down they don't register as a priority at all any more.

Talk about biting yourself in the arse!
Sound Business decision, I think not.....
The AFL would never.

MCG receives $1 billion makeover as part of government, AFL deal to increase capacity to 105,000

judging by some of the comments on websites since the news break>>

there seems to be outcry already>> similar to the Sydney deal

No no no don't be silly .

It's OK for the Govt to spend money on stadia.

i bet the MCG has more patrons though. That's why money spent on the MCG is justified in comparison......

Justified ..
Oh my
The word "Hypocrite" doesn't do you justice .

i think you are missing the point..

HOW BAD IT IS "OLYMPIC PARK" in Sydney
and it still will have more events than the MCG

imagen if it was state of the ART stadium..

Youre assuming the crowds are poor due to the conditions of the stadia. The MCG had fantastic crowds well before it was in state of the art condition
