Meanwhile over the ditch Leeds are in town.
Leeds game against Man U in Perth was basically underwritten by the WA State Govt, "through Tourism WA, VenuesWest and the Optus Stadium operator, VenuesLive" (from Leeds website). They have a big flash expensive new stadium now in Perth, and are no doubt trying to host as many high profile events as possible.
No idea about the the WSW game, but Sydney is a city of over 5M, and the commercial/sponsorship opportunities in Australia are in a different league to NZ. Knew a LUFC fan flew down from Brisbane for that game. Apparently a few thousand Leeds fans also flew out from the UK.
I note CCM & Jets are like the Nix, mostly just playing local teams pre season. Though Newcastle do host Hamilton Academical from Scotland in August. Young George Stanger's club.
