League is a very minor sport in Victoria. Union is bigger (is in some of the private schools).
Don't let the success of the Melbourne Storm con ya. All the players are from outside the state. For years they were owned by News Corp, as they wanted a league presence there.
The Vic State Govt and local CouncIl will want that Wyndham stadium (West Melb) built. It's a big popn growth corridor, with expanding infrastructure, and they will want tenants for their shiny new ground.
Wouldn't surprise if they charge Western United zero rent to play games there. That in it's own right would be a big cost saving for WU, if they did. Don't the Nix need 6-7K match day crowds to break even, hosting games at the ROF?
