This just popped up on my news feed (from Walter's blog)
Government expected to offer further support today to Tasmania's A-League bidMichelle O’Byrne, the Minister for Sport and Recreation, is conducting a media conference at the South Hobart soccer ground at noon today.
She is expected to announce a government grant of $80,000 to the Tasmania United A-League Taskforce to assist with the preparation of a business case which will be presented to the A-League to support Tasmania’s bid for a team.
The Tasmania United A-League Taskforce announced recently that they need about $100,000 to complete a business case. (continued at http://walterplessonsoccer.blogspot.com/2010/02/government-expected-to-offer-further.html)
Of course the government is in spend mode at the moment, but this is a significant boost to their previous level of support! Add comments |

ntguyposted at 4:30AM on 11th Feb, 2010 Great news about the funding. Thanks for the article Admin. galacticaposted at 8:53AM on 11th Feb, 2010 Yes this is great news and it is on Yahoo 7 News site as well. Now I am watching and waiting over the next 12mths for a continuity of presence in the public psyche to maintain a momentum. Some events are needed. I also await the SWAT analysis within and the contingency plans for dieback situations such as venue dis-satisfaction with spectators once we are in and games atmosphere may be considered lacking. Oh dear. Chuqposted at 1:28AM on 12th Feb, 2010 Great to see the Mercury covering this news in such detail today ... oh no wait, actually they didn't even mention it at all. Couldn't find space on their entire half page of football news. galacticaposted at 12:48PM on 12th Feb, 2010 I think I have spotted something in the Muckery. |

Update from Walter:
Looks as if I was on the money. Tasmania United Taskforce have just issued a media release stating that the Tasmanian Government has indeed given them $80,000 to fund the business case.
