Does anyone else think that WA/Perth should put their hand up to take this on?
I think it would be fantastic for the state, and we have the money (at least more than Victoria 😁), and given the short notice it wouldn’t look that bad if we didn’t have the perfect venues etc.
I feel like if McGowan was still in he would jump on this! I think I heard Roger has already vetoed it though…
I mean yes we have a good surplus but we still have a shit load of debt to pay off so financially we are ok but not great. I don’t think you really get a good return either financially or in directly.
They should look at doing something like fifa and sharing it between states so you can utilise existing infrastructure
We are literally doing FIFA right now with the other states. Denmark v China tomorrow night at Perth oval.
I know you meant mens’ tournament, but the women’s tournament is a decent festival to be hosting.
The World Cup is spread around two countries though and plays only one type of sport, in facilities that are already in a good state that are frequently used.
