From the experience at our club we do consistently get better crowds at Friday night games, all Im saying is its worth at least a try, if its a dud then go back to the old formula. If the game was to finish at say 8pm on a Saturday night, that would give clubs a chance to get people back go the. Club for bar takings.

Bazza if it is to be believed that it was the weather which prevented people from turning up to Subiaco Oval last year how many people would be under cover at Leederville Oval if it was wet for a night or day GF?

Not that sure Leederville would be the go - stuff all parking if 20k or more turned up & there's no way the station could handle all that traffic

Better off at Freo Oval & split the bar profits evenly by arrangement

32,000 at subi on the terraces in 1992, drizzle and freezing, if the game is good enough people will go.

Southerner I doubt whether Leederville Oval could hold 20,000 these days.

Fundamentally no ground other than Subiaco has enough seats under cover to cater for a reasonable crowd for the WAFL Grand Final. Let's not forget also that all of this is predicated on what is best for Channel 7. That would perhaps be a little bit acceptable if Channel 7 was paying the WAFL clubs to telecast the WAFL rather than the WAFL clubs paying Channel 7.

Bazza how many seats are under cover at Leedeville Oval?

What is the capacity of Leederville Oval?

Are you advocating a night GF at Leederville Oval?

We're paying for it because our "magnificent" commission has totally screwed up our traditional product's worth

These pricks would be watching that AFL pus while the local league games are running mate - that's a fact

Official capacity is 18,000 but I would imagine with some additional preparation 20,000 could be accomodated easily.

Under cover would be 1000 tops I would guess.

No, day GF for Leederville.

Yep mate, sadly the commercial value of the product means we cant flog it anymore.

Dead right. These jokers have sfa interest in local games.

So Bazza if you say 1000 tops are under cover compared to how many at Subiaco Oval what sort of crowd would you get to a WAFL GF at Leederville if there was a repeat of the weather that occurred in 2014?

I question how you could fit 18,000 into Leederville Oval in 2015.

Without being to cynical would there be a scoreboard working at Leederville for the GF?
