Talk about love fest!

I thought Poms ate Bangers and Mash? Thats all they have in Joondalup.. Soccer fans

Nice pic on article.. Strongest club in the WAFL Brett. We already are or were up to 2013 as proven by the GF.

Looking forward to 2014 season with the changes will be very interesting.
But doomed to failure.

First game at Moss Street against the Sharks cant wait. The Shark pit will be hot that day. Glad to see it wont be against EP anyway... Farking arseholes.

Thanks for the info Leedy... eg
WP have the 2014 season opener v EF @ Moss Street on the 22/3 followed by the flag unveiling v CL on the 29/3.

and thanks Astro for bringing the article to our attention.

Name change still on agenda
10/Dec/2013
Comments:
WHILE discussing the sponsorship proposal from West Perth Football Club, the request for
the club to change its name to reflect its location in Joondalup was again raised.
Cr Geoff Amphlett asked if it would be discussed at the club’s upcoming annual general
meeting.
“There is no doubt that the name will be changed at some point in the future,” West Perth
chief executive David Crute said. He said a name change should coincide with the opening of
the new clubrooms after the Arena Joondalup redevelopment.
“The reason why I say it needs to happen relatively soon – 18 months, two years, three years
is soon when you’re talking about a 129-year history – is if I do my job right, our club will be
run by the English, South Africans and Kiwis in 10 years time,” Mr Crute said.
“You can bet they will not be called the West Perth Football Club at that time. They will not
have an understanding of the history and tradition of West Perth Football Club.
“It might be that the West Perth Football Club now sits on the back of the jumper but it’s
called the Joondalup Falcons. Whether it’s called that, I can’t say, but my commitment to you
is that I will facilitate that process – that could be 10 years away.”
He said only members could vote to change the club’s name and “I cannot force them to
change”.
“People know that we need to change our name, it’s just convincing some of our older
members,” he said.
“Ten years ago, about 35 per cent of our members lived north of Warwick Road. This year,
already, we’ve seen it getting closer to 70, so our members are moving north.”

Nothing surer.... Bye bye West Perth

Feel for the die-hards but as the membership make up changes to more and more Poms with a sprinkling of other nationalities they'll have the numbers to vote a name change in.

Joondalup Migraters ??

Geez .... well to me it should always be WEST PERTH - the Joondalup Falcons !

(you know .... West Perth up the top in those little monogram boxes , with the Joondalup Falcons bit down the bottom wrapped around the falcon)

something for everyone , honouring the tradition

The club will always be called the WPFC they won't change. In future they may be known as the Joondalup Falcons but they will for ever & a day be the WPFC.

Love the Shark pit Cardy, cheap beers and always cold. They might have to sell Zinc for the first game though.

Mate Shark pit under cover so fine.. Love games at Moss street (My wife doesnt because I always come home shit faced - Blame Vic and George for that )

I find it a great day out in the tradition of the WAFL old days. Lots of Slagging but all in good fun in the Pit as great club supporters.
Now as you say being in March it could be a warm one but who knows.
First game of the season against two G7 clubs.

Win lose or draw I will be there for Part of colts/Full Ressies and League.
People who dont love the WAFL will never get a better oppurtunity to see it in action.
Ok I know a few reckon Moss street is a shit hole but Hey I go there for the footy in the centre of the ground... Cold beer is a bonus as its the only game I get a few in.

Bring it on...
