You have to remember that Geelong is football crazy, they only get 7 or 8 home games a year and they have more members than can fit into the ground. Don't tell me the general pubic of Geelong won't flock to an AFL standard game in their home town and it's only 45 minutes down the road from the inner west.
Seems like it's worth doing a due diligence on it to me.
The AFL have made it clear, games can only be sold to 'developing markets' & they don't deem Geelong to be a developing market.
