TOPIC:

There are certain people on this site who have the amazing skill to be able to turn any unrelated subject into a Subi thing. Bag us when ever you want but do it on a Subi thread .... water off a ducks back.

Loopy made reference to our seats deal Grump and last time I looked he was a jerker supporter...so if they want to derail a thread on their own site then that's their choice.

Sit tight, Raponi running for a seat in the Northern Suburbs, if he gets in he will shake up those tools in a heart beat.

Is that some sort of a joke, he was the one that was at the helm when you went bust.

Surprised he can show his ugly mutt in public.

BC were you not 'gifted' the Subiaco Members Area seats in the 2 Tier Stand pocket at Subiaco Oval, the ones with the signage up Subiaco Members Only in maroon & gold?

That goes back to the deal to remove the old Subiaco Stands, including the Municipal Statnd and the small SFC Pavillion that pre dated the 2 tier, you may be to young to remember but I remember it well. when they were demolised the Subi Town Council WAFL and SFC all came to agreement that SFC could have members seating in the new 2 tier stand as compensation to replace the old ones.

The cost to construct the 2 tier was however born by the WAFL with some contributions from the Subi Town Council but mainly WAFL, which ended up with a 1 Million dollar debt which by 1989 was killing the WAFL in interest and basically sent them broke once IP Pty Ltd feel over.

In the end the WA Gov bailed them out paid off the debt and refinanced via the WAFC, and organsied the free long term lease of the oval, So subi surfed along keeping the seats and doing deals at not much cost - the rest as they say is history.

Raponi was not Pres when they went broke,
Former SDFC CEO Scott Ballem was Pres.

You lot are unbelievable, who built the Stadium ??? tax payers did. The ground never belonged to the $FC, much like we never owned Leederville oval. Im going to turn the table here a bit and use one of the common $ubi supporter come backs generally in response to your underhanded player payment dealings, "PROVE IT". Prove that you purchased the seats at $ubi ??? Because from many reports the seats were given to the club for a 5 year period for compensation for moving and it went on for another 15 years.
I will try to dig up a 91.3 Sport FM Harvey Deegan interview who spoke with a fella that sat on the ruling committee for the seating arrangement deal and he explained quite confidently that it was a scam of the highest order and said it was a case of "who you know, not what you know".
