But we can still call it the "MCG"

The MCG could soon be called......

no..no..no

even if it is only for very "official" reasons, this is stupid

Wow. A low key branding worth "at least" 8 million a year. Pretty impressive indicator of the underlying worth.

Edit: SJX: Hrmnm. I hate this date on this month (in general). Always catches me in one way or another.

Now that I've had a cofffee, was this also put out there last April fools?

If not last year, 2002 saw the McG™.

Could it be an April Fool's Joke?

Chaps it is April 1st, I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the joke in the papers, missed this one, there is no such company as Mekong Industries, which is a river in Vietnam not China, all big Chinese companies start with C or S, so perhaps they meant the SCG

No, I'm sick of stupid named stadiums, in 5 years it gets changed to some other crappy foregin name, NO, it needs to stay the MCG, Melbourne Cricket Ground!

Could it be an April Fool's Joke?

Here is a clue: ......"said April Fulton of the company’s Melbourne office."

I'm too tired for these jokes, going out late on a work night just does not compute with my aging body and mind

The worst thing is I work for a friend and she has not come in all morning, she is having a sleep in to recover from the gig!

Bloody makes it worse to be here as I am suffering alone

HAHAHA...thats a good one, can you imagine how many [censored] off people would have written/phoned in??

Kind of funny to see how many people got fooled (though I probably would have as well).
