    I didnt say the sport will die, but some of the bigger English clubs have their money invested and most of the bigger clubs have a MASSIVE amount of debt to their names. Liverpool's new ground has been put on hold due to world financial crisis. A few of them are owned by yanks who would probably sell them down the river if it means saving some money. Even European Rugby their are rumblins of discontent at the moment about this

    then i think we will see more people follow the example of those liverpool supporters who have joined together to try and buy back their club from non scouse owners.

    who wouldnt want to OWN a part of their favourite sportsteam?

    the qld govt has committed nothing towards the gc17 side
    they have pretty much left it up the AFL in terms of funding the stadium
