Melbourne Storm forced to change plans after Albury council denies access

Melbourne have been being forced to hastily change their Albury training plans after local council voted that the NRL club could not use the border town’s council-run sporting facilities.

The councillors passed a motion that council facilities, including the home of the local rugby league club, Greenfields Park, should not be made available to the Storm. They are expected to move to the Albury Sports Ground, which is the home of the local AFL club, which is privately owned.Melbourne are set to stay in Albury at least until Friday, with the club saying the visiting party would be completely isolated from the general community.

One of the most vocal opponents to the Storm using the council ground was Deputy Mayor Amanda Cohn, who is a local doctor.‘‘Many of our residents have made tremendous sacrifices to keep the rates so low in Albury-Wodonga and we’ve only had 11 cases.

SMHsport The virus is the least of a town's worries when a pack of NRL mungoes descends on it.

SMHsport So what are they doing? Just sitting on the bus?

SMHsport So just train in Wodonga instead?

SMHsport Who gives a f... about Football. Stop it. We never want to see another game. All grow up and play chess or something useful.

SMHsport An Apollo 👀🤷

SMHsport Good!

SMHsport I’d complain too if a bunch of thugs moved into my neighborhood. Better keep your daughters locked up at home.

SMHsport Bahaha. Suck a d Storm.

SMHsport It’s all just Politics,Politics,Politics in Victoria

SMHsport 🤔 wouldn’t they be spending much needed money in Albury?

SMHsport fuckalbury

SMHsport NRL are hopeless - didn’t think this through.

SMHsport Good why should they get exemptions, stay home like the rest of us.

SMHsport 😂 it’s their facilities and they can do what they like. Why should Albury pander to brainless meatheads who are just using them

SMHsport Well done...why are these people thinking that MONEY HUNGRY FOOTBALL is our life

SMHsport Maybe call prior and make sure all that shit is sorted?

SMHsport This just proves that corruption is alive and well even in places like Dumbfuck Albury!!

SMHsport Did no one think to ask them first?

SMHsport Wait until Wayne Pearce hears that. Lol

SMHsport ALBURY TIGERS AFL TEAM HAVE GIVEN STORM PERMISSION PLEASE UPDATE

SMHsport What a dumb council.
