Carlton Blues won’t cut ties with long-time supporter MC Labour

The Carlton Football Club will not cut ties with former long-time club sponsor and business associate MC Labour, despite allegations the company had links to gangland figures and had been accused of wrongdoing.

The construction company, which has poured millions of dollars into the club in the past two decades, including a two-year period when Carlton’s home ground, now Ikon Park, was known as MC Labour Park, has been significant contributor to the club, acting as co-major sponsor of the AFLW team for several years.

MC Labour had naming rights to the club’s home ground in 2007 and 2008 and continued to officially sponsor the club until 2022.

Carlton still use the company for security and traffic management at Ikon Park for practice matches, open training sessions and AFLW games. MC Labour signs can be seen in and around the stadium.
