Port Melbourne refused hosting future night matches at Port Melbourne Cricket Ground / ETU Stadium
Body: 

Port Phillip Council have apparently denied Port Melbourne hosting night matches later this season that feature non community (AFL) clubs.

As a result, the release of the remaining fixture for 2025 has been delayed.

Port Melbourne Football Club are very disappointed by the ruling, as it denies the club an important revenue stream on those game days.

 

"The City of Port Phillip has blocked Port Melbourne from hosting broadcast matches at North Port Oval – because the teams involved, including Collingwood and Richmond, aren’t local.

I assume the council would have had to sign off on the deal before the season started? What's changed?
