You don't, you get the train , a small car park is provided for staff etc, apart from that its like anywhere else, just park in streets around, in the big days that what I did at Latho, the carpark would fill very quickly mainly with Perth members etc , and most people would street park on surrounding streets, that's when 6000 was normal at Latho.

Hope they take over the Carlisle hotel and make a bit of a cafe strip around the area as well. Bazza is right the surrounds are a bit drab. Maybe bring back the train station?

Maye there plenty of cafes already around the area. What do you suggest they do with the Hotel?

They are bloody meters away

Are you seriously saying they are as conveniently located as close by as The Norfolk in Freo the Cappa Strip etc or the ones are in Leederville?

They are like 50 meters away from the from the ground

bloody miles away not the same.

walk across the road at Lathlain and you end up in someone's front garden.

walk across the road at freo and your in the Norfolk Beer Garden.

More like "walk across the road at Freo" and get mugged!

Sorry guys, I'm with Bazza, the whole area is a dump and I am warming to the redevelopment. What I suggest with the hotel Mr AFL is that they make it a place something like the Queens or the Brisbane.

Walk across the road at Freo and you finally reach the bloody grandstand!

I think the Lathlain revelopment will be great, not making the eagles out to be hero's but nothing would have been done to Lathlain without their move to Lathlain and while it's still/was a good place to watch footy, it really was showing it's age, Perth will get shiny new state of the art facilities and even with the inevitable creation of a stand along Eagles reserves wafl team the three teams can all live happily together with the two grounds available for training.

Claremonts new setup will be terrific, Freo will be done in the next few years to facilitate the SF/EF ground sharing, Leederville has been made over for some time, and hopefully Basso will get it's redevelopment eventually. While we still have concerns about the integrity of the comp going forward the WAFL will have some of the best non AFL footy facilities in the country.

SS redevelopment of Lathlain has been on the PFC agenda for quite a few years.
I know of planning suggestions put to Vic Park Council some years ago for the old car park and other parts.
Would have assisted the Club in it's redevelopment of our premises.
Fortunately the WCE have come along and made it happen albeit in a different form.
