If I'm correct it will be the first competition I've ever won. And the prize ...! <br /><br />A brief comment about the financial return for the England vs Australia soccer game at the MCG. Must have been a premium product. Would be fascinating to know "where the money went". The visits and locals sharing? <br /><br />Both probably needed the money, unlike the Liverpool corporate beast that mesmerised soccer fans at the MCG. Would be interesting to learn (if possible) what the entry fee was in 1951 and look at how it compares (in "real" terms) to what was charged at the MCG last night.<br /><br />Cheers, DarylDaryl Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609932440368989697noreply@blogger.com
