The Aus open costs more to run?
We don't pay for it and the inforstructure is already there.
Blah, blah, blah. Plebs succumbing to the "halo effect".

This, at the moment, is an article that I can find without effort. I might produce more if I can be bothered.

For prestige and desire to win Aussie would be vying with French for least favourable. Wimbledon and US clear 1 and 2
Blah blah that's in Jan 2014 give me some up to date facts . You love F1 and most others don't unless you get a freebie in a box.
They're spending that money now. So it's relevant even now. I bet you just assumed the place was built for the 88 Aus Open, it's been like that since, and they get a few local builders for maintenance?
Halo effect.
Halo effect.
No doubt the government pumps in millions to help run the Aus Open. It also runs for 19 days (including qualifying). I guess one thing that separates it from Albert park is that the facilities are mostly permanent and used throughout the year for concerts, events, sporting matches, shows, etc.
That's the trouble with the GP , it has to be put in and put out at the taxpayers expense .The tennis is more of an aussie thing than the Gp what ever someone says.
So you're confirming the halo effect?

I think both sports are hardly Australian. But both are welcome in Melbourne.

Oh please, the US Open is easily worst as far as players and non-US fans are concerned.
Cornes show I like, no problem with him........and I think it's great SEN are going in to other places.....afterall, sport is not confined to just Vic.......particularly with AFL, good to hear what interstate teams are doing, interviews etc.
There is a big need to stop being so Viccentric.....all our sports teams are national, eg AFL, Rugby, Soccer. SEN are moving with the need to be national too.

That's fine , but surely someone in WA is better than Gossage.

Gary honey the only human being in history who was just about equal to Andrew gaze for pure dumbness about everything.
He was dreadful!
Knew nothing. KB carried him. But made KB look like a guru.

Roco let’s himself down so badly with his thin skin.
He is a disgrace on Twitter how he reacts and name calls.
His Twitter ofcourse but it shows his character.
Yes we know you love the left, yes we know you hate the right, but it’s sports Rohan, it’s football and sport.
Sport not poilitics nonsense.
I'm intrigued by Gary Honey.
That's a diplomatic comment, and both events have long histories in Australia.
The point is, there could be a government cover up exposed showing that the Tennis cost vic tax payers $5bil a year. For someone like bedford, that would just go in one ear then out the other. But tell them that the GP costs $50-60mil, then they go into meltdown and get personal. Even though that would mean the GP costs roughly $15-20 per vic tax payer per year.
Adding to that. If someone who works at an office close by has lunch at a café in the precinct there..in july, it'll count as revenue that the tennis brought in. Even though it has nothing to do with the tennis. but bedford wouldn't give a s**t about that.
Halo effect.
I'm struggling to recall, but for memory, Gary Honey knew about athletics (of course) and a little bit about horse racing, but had the personality of an old pair of socks, and not a good voice for radio. I don't think it's a coincidence that he never worked on air again (that I know of) after his 3uz gig . His personality barely improved from what he showed in this interview.
