[QUOTE="Goodey, post: 967099, member: 69270"] The reason why that didn’t happen is because it’s expensive. Keeping a stadium ready all tournament and then not getting any gate money for it is really, really expensive. Calling off the games obviously doesn’t help the wallet either, but at least then you don’t have to pay for pitch prep, last minute flights and security. If the individual unions want to then fly out elsewhere and do their own thing to train over the weekend, you don’t have to pay for it. They’re not admitting it but that’s what it is. [/QUOTE]
