Not everyone, it seems, has accepted that FFA’s bid for the FIFA World Cup is terminally flawed.
The Victorian Government has floated the notion of using Kardinia Park (Skilled Stadium) in Geelong as a World Cup venue, leaving the Docklands stadium to cater for AFL requirements in the event that FFA won the right to conduct the FIFA tournament. The government hasn't committed any funding to the concept (publicly).
When will the over-zealous promoters of this fanciful bid realise that a relatively minor (now) summer sport cannot dictate to the nation’s major football codes how their stadiums will be configured and when they’ll be available. The recent debacle at the Docklands venue after two weeks of rock concerts is just a tiny taste of the potential impact on the AFL competition.
