Greenfield stadium under construction
CRICKET World Cup 2007 and Jampro officials are maintaining that the $2 billion stadium under construction in Trelawny will be a strong money earner in the long run, saying the cricket competition simply provided the opportunity to build a 'first class' sports facility for the western end of Jamaica.

In fact, Beverley Robotham-Reynolds of Jamaica is the first regional micro enterprise authorized to produce goods for next year's event

She was VERY proactive in that she wrote back in '04 when they were just strategizing. She will be producing cricket dolls and carnival dolls dressed in the 16 teams outfits and distributing them throughout the Caribbean, Canada, UK and US.

She is also building a website.

Tickets for the World Cup events go on sale next week (1st May)

i believe that thwe actual gain to be ralized by the govt coffers in more than the 9M davies mentioned for ticket reciepts.

[/ QUOTE ]

So the MOF of the GOJ says that he expects US$9.Mil, but you are telling us that you know we will get more. Okay we believe you, how much more?



[/ QUOTE ] I dont know anything... im just expressing my thoughts.

when events like this are held in other countries they are always expounding on the spinoff benefits aside for direct gate reciepts( and this is proven and accepted in other jurisdictions)..so what are we doing differently why we cannot expect other spin off benefits?

[/ QUOTE ]

The govt's history of corruption and reneged promises dictates that one views the situation with a sence of cynicism instead of lauding their projections.

what's good about applauding promises anyway?

notice you ignore me post.
RichD if you ignore the govt's history(an ongoing one too!) of corruption, then they will play you for a fool. again I ask, why applaud their projections when their track record speaks against them? and what's good about spending 105m to recover only 9m? could you do that as a business man?

that figure came from the minister of finance...suggesting that gate reciepts were all they would get form this venture.
to many it seems rediculous and extremely short sighted.


gi yuh an example...you buy a house $200,000 for rent/investment purposed..you finance it over 20 years..then you rent it out for $1000/month
so sombody come an sey yuh a eediat fi spen $200,000 an only a get back $1000...what yuh woulda tell dem?
