For those who listen to radio redneck 6PR what have either Zempilas or Cometti said about this?

Bugger all, they are just concerned about poor old Gaffy.

Commetti has done heaps, make no mistake. Zempilas is governed by the AFL who are ultimately to blame for this current situation, in fact are to blame for the situation the WAFL is in.

WAFC will bail them out of the short fall and the Board and Administration will be jettisoned out.

The WAFC didnt bail SFFC out, we raised 700k amd cleared the debt.

WAFC have already given them a loan of 250k , that has to be repaid as well, cant see anymore coming.

Don't forget the WAFC's role in the demise of the WAFL. I am not sure how the AFL could limit Zempilas's involvement in fundraising for West Perth or donating to a save West Perth fund.

Have SDFC chipped in Swan?

I had to make a decison to donate go the drought relief fund or wpfc and I had to pick drought relief.

Bazza if your are interested in the answer I suggest you ring the club on 9279 8700 and ask.

I'd like to challenge your response to me Stand the Test.

(1) The supporters and members should feel no "moral" obligation to repay the debts of the club. They have no financial interest in the club and they have not invested their money (in memberships) in order to obtain a financial return
(2) I have not as yet seen a Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss account on the Website or a written explanation as to how West Perth suddenly found themselves in this position
(3) If it was financial mismanagement then those accountable must fall on their sword
(4) At least 4 days before your response to me I became a "Millenium Member" of the WPFC
but not for the reasons you suggested I should.

I would certainly consider a much more substantial donation, but I am very concerned that the position of the club was not publicly acknowledged and the club needs to be more transparent in its position in my opinion.

Thanks Dempsey, I am not suggesting members should pay the club's debts, my concern is that the CLUB doesn't seem to think it has to and that its fundraising efforts do not seem to be directed to this. I think I agree with you, the club should come completely clean on everything and give people a choice as to whether they help club pay the debt or take a chance with the creditors.

The next question is about the jumper sponsorship a director is suddenly able to manufacture, in itself great more money but the query for me is, if he could get it now why not at the seasons start, seems a little worrisome to me.
