Cmon Brenton; seriously...
Eastern Aus is always going to hold the sporting events (no matter what sport).. Look at most sports and you will see that finals + main events are ALWAYS held on the eastern side of aus... =\..
Rooty Hill is the most fit place to have the Aus Masters. Rooty has food; entertainment; accommodation and a great bowling centre.. What more do you want?? The only flaw with Rooty Hill is the distance it is from the airport with bowlers coming from there... Aside from that; I cant see a place better!
OT: I for one have no problem with it being in Rooty Hill...
Will we gain as many bowlers by moving it and NOT having masters, versus the number we think we'll lose if it stays in one place for a few years?Seems bad enough that you have to play cricket for NSW if you want to bat for Australia, but now you find out that bias is being imparted on our National Championships. I say that you will now find less and less people bowling at the Nationals if it is permanently at Rooty Hill. I say seperate the AMF Masters event from the Nationals and move the Nationals around like they should be to all states. Let AMF keep the Masters at Rooty Hill if they are going to have a cry about there sponsorship of the event but do not pander to there whinging when it comes to the Nationals. The Nationals belong to the bowlers and not to bloody AMF!
