We've thought about this very deeply in the context of BBL's sale, which has been widely reported over the last few months.
Cricket Victoria has decided to sell 100%.
of one of the teams, we're cognizant of the fact that when that team is sold, their name is likely to be changed.
So if we use the Renegades as an example, the Renegades would change their name to another team.
We were concerned that the Renegades fans in this instance then may not support the new team, but then also because they'd spent the last 15 years hating the Stars, wouldn't support the Stars.
So what we felt would be most appropriate is to go back to where we were when the Big Bash first started, which is that we had a Victorian team, a team that played in the blue and white and represent all the Victorians.
So that's our intention, is to go back to the original BBL team that we had and have a team that is for everyone in Victoria, that wears the big V, plays there, would still be called Melbourne.
It's a city-based team, but ultimately a team that all Victorians connected to Victorian cricket can get behind.
Yeah, we do.
And I mean, critically, we have consulted members, not all members, but we ran extensive focus groups back in February, January, February around this about, OK, if we sold a team, would you support the other team?
All fans said no, they wouldn't.
would you support a team that was a Victorian team?
And fans said, yes, they would.
And so we have consulted broadly because we came up with some theories, but we really needed to talk directly to members.
So we spoke to Stars and Renegades members.
We also spoke to Melbourne or Victorian-based fans of the Big Bash who don't actually support a team either way.
They like the Big Bash.
They go to Big Bash games, but they don't have a team.
And all three groups said that they... Well, certainly the Stars and Renegades fans said they would not support the other team, but they would support a team that played under a sort of Victorian banner.
From Cricket Victoria's perspective, it's been well publicised the challenges that Cricket Australia have had financially.
