Joe Gabriele who owns the Venus theatre on Sargent Avenue had originally intended to show world cup matches in his theatre. But he started preparations too late and As it turned out the Manitoba Telephone system could not run a Cable from Portage Avenue to his premises in time. He apparently started the Ball rolling with the controlling people in Toronto too late in the first place and they were asking for an enormous sum of Money for the Winnipeg rights. Once Gabriele secured the rights and found out he could t use his theatre it was a mad rash to find a facility. The Manitoba soccer association was called in and Al though it did t provide any financing it did help negotiate for convention Centre facilities and provided some general Public relations. It could be that if Gabriele had started earlier the whole world cup could have been televised locally. As it was about one third of the schedule was completed before local coverage started.
