    Thanks for your comment John. I tend to agree with you having the stadium and the subsidising every event that is held there defeats the object of building the place. The idea was with a decent venue suddenly events would come to Perth. If you are buying events of course they will come!

    No idea where Federer is going this year no doubt we will all know in the next week!

    Hard to see how the WA Government will make their money back on the visit of Manchester United. If however they see this as promoting their new stadium then it may be money well spent. But then again who are you trying to attract to the stadium? It is pointless if as a Government you are going to subsidise every event played there. Paying back the investment will end up taking twice as long if this is the case.

    Personally, most “superstars” who comment on things like Twitter etc I am very suspicious of. As 90% of the comments are made by support staff. Tendulkar I cannot see typing his own tweets. As you state what did they gain from having him there? Seems a very expensive decision.

    Be keen to know where Federer is going for his selfie this year!!!! Not too many places of interest close to Perth. Hope he likes a road trip!
