Ted Bailleu wants to steal the Brumbies

Shame about the Victorian election result! Still, it is likely the Brumbies will want to take off to Melbourne on their own accord after their deal at Canberra Stadium runs out. Can hardly wait! Their players can then fly in and out of Melbourne instead of here.

stanhope won’t care. He’s a selfish so-and-so, who hates pretty much every Canberran and their family. Look at the school closures and rate hikes due to his fiscal incompetence for proof.

Also there’s no boat people/lesos/abos/pinkos/genocidal manics about to hang/green ideologues playing for the Brumbies, so he don’t care.

I believe the Brumbies get quite a nice subsidy from the ACT Goverment as well. If they went we could afford more trees in the museum!

vg, it’s not about gate sales, it’s about corportae revenue. Super 14 is payed for by pay TV. They don’t really need crowds at all, other than as window dressing.
ACT does not have the corporate dollar.

We do have a fantastic and knowledgable rugby culture here, but I know plenty of people who didn’t renew Brumbies season passes. Not because of the Brumbies form, but because of ticket price increases.

Everyone loves a winner – the crowds were pretty big when the Brumbies were winning titles so if they can keep being successful Canberra’s small population should be no handicap.

Little thing about getting it past the ACTRU board that could cause them a problem.

They draw around about 20,000/game to Bruce (give and take). Be lucky to draw 10,000/game in Melbourne.

It won’t happen. Struggling financial base? Bollocks

As a Victorian may I say who cares.
Ok so who do I vote for next week?
The bunch of Pollies I detest the least.

If this is the best that the VIC Libs can offer the electorate, well I wouldn’t be too worried about them winning the next election.

it’s quite new for it to be an election policy.

This is nothing new, Victoria has been interested in stealing the Brumbies for years. There are certain factors like the population of Canberra size of Canberra stadium for holding Super 12/14 finals isn’t all that appealing to some.
