As much as I would love this to happen, it sounds a bit dodgy.

"A Victory spokesman claimed the club was unaware of the potential match against United."

"News Corp also approached the Victorian government and the MCC – responsible for management and development of the Melbourne Cricket Ground – for comment, but is still awaiting responses."

If only the Mariners could secure one of them! Imagine ManU at a Mariner home game...Rowles big Dan defending against some of the greatest players in the sport...so cool!!

"Sources have also suggested United could play up to four matches in Australia."

They owe us for Phelan. Surely we have the connections to be a chance but it would probably be against no names

Victory knew nothing about it

That's kind of an odd decision...my main question is, why?

Seems the Nix have given up on the Gong due to costs so now they use other locations. They have played at Campbelltown and kogarah lately. They probably think some Scum supporters will venture down to the coast to watch the game. So the Scum are being looked after at our expense as the have plenty of time to get to CCS with a later start. Meantime we get shafted at our home ground. Not loving this league at the moment.

It’s been announced that we are playing before that game against Victory in a double header, probably justifies the reason for having Wellington play at ccs

It makes sense for them and it likely makes the costs cheaper for both home teams, but the ordering is all arse about. Nix fans have to watch their team play late and we have to try to rush to the game. Commuter car park won’t have emptied a lot by then (pending how busy it is with covid) The only winners here are jets fans.
