I still think Western Melbourne as a location has promise. Strong popn growth corridor, big ethnic football loving community and a lack of any other locally competitive pro sports teams. Even the AFLs Western Bulldogs play their games in the two CBD oval stadiums
Plus the VIC Govt and local Council want WU to succeed. Pretty sure they are sharing the new stadium build costs
I think WU was a better expansion idea than MAC, if likely a poorer choice than say South Melbourne
They need the stadium built to give the area a bit of a buzz, and show a team in the local community is there to stay
