There was no way John Snr. was going to allow Carlton to have a stadium 3 times the size of that of his team and the supporter advantages that it would create. Also I think John Jnr. was Premier when Collingwood were allowed to take over the Olympic swomming venue and provided state momey to assost the project. >>
Collingwood and the Victorian Institute of Sport took over "Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre" in 2003 when Bracks was Premier. Bracks is a Geelong supporter.
