Don't know if there are any FIFA regulations that wouldn't allow it though.

The point really is that Melbourne has a pro-Sydney agenda pushed on it daily by media of all kinds. That adds to the dislike, plus the added smart ass comments made by Sydneysiders to provoke a reaction. Unfortunately, the frustration gets a reaction. Melbourne is a great city and also deserves respect.

Its great Sydney got the WC Live event though. Darling Harour is a good site.

it just shows though that the Melbourne event is also a very popular, and will likely get just as many or even more than the Sydsney one does, particularly with the added space. There is huge support here in this city for such events.

I did not go to the last WC screenings at Fed Square because of the crowds that were crammed into the area. This time I will be headed in to see it because of the move. It is only a couple of hundred metres away from the Fed square site anyway.

Heart Fan; just fun to stir you guys up sometimes. On a serious note though its good to see that the respective city councils are getting their arses into gear and catering for a bigger crowd with, what sounds like, great facilities.

Was at Circular Quay in Sydney for the last world cup but it all seemed like it was put together at the last minute, so it's nice to see alot of planning going into this one. I suppose it shows how much the game has come along.
