Flyers on telegraph poles between Moorebank and Milperra for Lebanon vs England And France. Didn’t see any for th Oz game but they maybe hoping the media will cover that enough anyway.
Funny that I didn’t notice them yesterday and France is on Sunday.

Just some insight from someone actually at the game...
The build up was absolutely awesome, with most merchandise sold out and lots of activities outside the stadium (dancing and singing from other nations).
Inside the poms were nice and loud. I was on the western side and it looked amazing.
Yes it should have sold out... BUT:
With the average ticket price $100 they made $2million from ticket sales and probs half a million in merchandise.
Sounds like it looked good on tv too!

I’m sure Melbourne appreciated being shown live in the BBC, on German free to air TV, in France and elsewhere.
I just read an article about the match in a major New York publication. Once again Melbourne is mentioned. This is repeated in publications all around the world.

Yeah i am doubting that. This is melbourne, not Hobart, people know it exists.

Either way, that isn't really my point.

Should have made more! 8000 customers missing. Simple as that. If the prices for tickets were lower merchandise sales would have increased. No excuse. Poor logic and pricing policy from those employed to market this event and have the game benefit from it.

There’s nothing to doubt. The Victorian government and the city of Melbourne will be extremely happy the city’s name is out there and connected to the match.

My mate was telling me to expect a large contingent of Lebanese travelling to Canberra from Sydney for the game. Anecdotal I know, but they know this is the game that will determine if they go past the pool games.

Heaps of seats still empty in PNG. Assuming they are just either walking out, or staying out of the sun?

Hope the scalpers things hasn't been this bad.
