TOPIC:

This topic is none of my business but like other WAFL diehards, I want to see all traditional clubs including Perth be successful and to my mind, Baz makes a valid point around moving to the WACA. Good facilities, geographically near Lathlain for your supporter base and would make use of the WACA ground during winter months.

Tell ToVP thanks but we're out of here and see what they do. Profit sharing from the bars and food outlets would have to be negotiated but if a long term lease was agreed to, I'm sure a win/win for PFC and the WACA could be achieved.

Apparently they are terrible to work with BC. Like really bad - we would be broke in no time. Things like having our own room for display would be a no no too - like EF atm. The idea would have merit if they could do something to the WACA like they have with the MCG

Fair enough TFaf...just a thought. I wonder if some or all of the government grants could be used to build your own social premises at the WACA maybe over on the northern side as part of the current redevelopment.

Gee, looking at the fundraising for East Freo my optimistic thought on Perth being able to raise a quick million is in doubt. They are only at $60,662 of a goal of $250,000 in their Sharks redevelopment foundation. This has been running for quite some time too I think. Now they are offering Laurie Potter like Lifetime Memberships for $1650 as well.

No one will contribute any more atm due to the uncertainties surrounding the finished product @ Shark Park.

Anyway to get Perth's Stadium up and running it is important that we at least contribute $200K I think. One of the councillors said as much during the Council meeting on Wednesday 17/9. I still think we have 80 members that would be able to contribute $2500 each - this would get us to the $200K.

EFFC have been trying to raise that for ages, problem is a lot of members have drifted off lately with the shambles.

I read the full ToVP minutes, did anyone else pick up on the change of licence set up, Not a Club Licence as is now the case - but will have a Tavern License, thats sounding a lot like the EF set up,,,"BEWARE"!!!!

Thanks for the heads up B. We will have to make sure of that before we contribute anything 

Would the state government funding come with an attachment to VW which we have seen elsewhere create all manner of issues!

I doubt it. Russell Clarke is an experienced campaigner - was heavily involved in the Mandurah build and I have been told that works perfectly 

State government are getting involved and reading the EF council the riot act. Rita is always cashing in unashamedly letting everyone know she is a passionate Fremantle supporter. Guess where AFL players come from Rita? WAFL, so step up and pay the paltry extra few million that is required due construction cost increases since you and others first pledged grants.

I bet Colin Barnett twisted a few arms to help his beloved Claremont get what they wanted.

Mandurah had a bottomless pit of WAFC cash.
