Does anyone care if we have it any more?
Me :nope
-
no
-
Would love to see it GAWN
-
all it does is push the price of accommodation up for the opening round of the footy
-
Could not care less. The novelty has worn off.
This is what happens when the Melbourne Sydney, Melbourne Adelaide rivalry has run its race.
We end up with a white elephant that costs the taxpayer.
Bring on 2015.
-
I think we should keep it, but if Bernie keeps putting up the annual fee it makes it pretty hard to make a case for
Shame as it's one of the biggest international sporting events in the country and there are plenty of countries lining up to take our spot, clearly that's for a reason
-
i don't like the sport and do believe we are over it as a state, but this whole it cost taxpayers is one big croc.
What they don't tell you is how much benefit the hotels, restaurants, transport, get for that whole week not to mention all the marketing Melbourne, Australia get
Its not a complete loss and i would think if anything we break even in the overall scheme of things.

Maybe to boost appeal, for the celeb race this year they should show Warney driving Liz's turd-cutter.

Renee Geyer could provide some light entertainment ;D

Should be run on the old Indy circuit at the Gold Coast on a Sunday night to please the Europeans.
Would be some spectacle that, right up there with Monaco, Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi etc
-
The F1 Grand Prix should undoubtedly be kept as long as it continues to bring international exposure to Melbourne, which is vital to our tourism industry. Would be happy to see it moved to Phillip Island though, just so long as we don't lose it!

I don't care much for it, but you have to replace it with something I guess.

What do you mean Gerks?? It's already happening. I saw it first hand the other night on the Great Western Highway. I think The Rexy took the Chocolates but the GTR was starting to catch up once his supercharger kicked in.

They could rebuild the Swagman and bring back Cabaret to the Masses. And don't forget "The Swagmans" world famous smorgasbords...mmmmm
If that doesn't fill the gap for Victorian tourism with the loss of the grand prix, then I don't know what will.

Classic.
My Dad(rip) played the floorshow at the Swagman for over ten years.7 nites a week.
lol.

That's brilliant Ox. It appears that a lot of staff there were long serving. Apparently the lead choreographer was there from day 1 until it burned down.
Wow they even had headline acts like Dr Hook and the Village People! :rollin
Here is its wiki

I'm not much of a fan and if it disappeared it wouldn't affect me one iota but F1 has a massive following in Europe. It does promote Melbourne and Australia over there.

Where abouts gerks? We could go Nurburgring style M2, M7,M4. Or the Putty Rd would make for interesting driving. ;D
