| Quote: | Collingwood has been banned from using its new training oval at the former Olympic Park due to a naming rights dispute.
The Magpies want to name the oval – which is on the site of the former Olympic Park greyhound track – the Lexus Bob Rose Oval but the Melbourne Olympic Parks Trust (MOPT), which controls the precinct, does not approve of that name.
While the dispute does not affect the Magpies’ lucrative sponsorship with Toyota of their nearby training and administration base – the Lexus Centre – which is on the site of the former Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre, the MOPT claims it was not consulted about the decision to name the oval after the Magpies’ greatest ever player, who died last year.
MOPT chairman Alan Oxley said he was “flabbergasted” when he learned earlier this month the Pies had named the ground without approval from the state government appointed body. |
