Bulldogs stand firm on A-League decider

Numerous outlets are reporting that the Western Bulldogs will not be moving their home game from Etihad Stadium to accommodate the Aleague Grand Final, as the FFA finds that time is growing short to find a venue.

“We’re not moving aside for soccer,” Gordon told Melbourne radio station SEN.

“It’s a home game for us and it’s already been fixtured – it’s a done deal. That’s where we want to play it and that’s where it will be played.”

The FFA continues to put its faith in the Victorian Governments ability to negotiate a compromise.

“FFA continues to discuss the matter with the Victorian government, which has made it clear that Melbourne is a city that wants to host major events, such as the Hyundai A-League grand final,” a FFA spokesperson said.

“There are many complications to be overcome in finding the right solution.”
