I doubt they want to have many events in Melbourne at allI don't mind the Comm games. We should be able to do it fairly cheaply - we have plenty of decent stadiums and arenas. Only difficulty is the aths track - I'm not sure we want to dig up the MCG again - that caused a few problems last time. Maybe we could get some of the Grand Prix temporary grandstands out of storage and do something at Lakeside - although I'm not sure exactly what. We probably only need a 40,000 capacity for the aths - we can still run the opening/closing ceremonies at the MCG or Docklands if necessary.
Sure, it's a 2nd class competition (at best), but that's OK - we need them as well.
Let's see if the poms can raise the interest and hype back up a bit when they host in Birmingham.
