Yeh right pull the other one. You know without the alignment you would cellar dwellers again just like my club. The difference being we support our club and create an atmosphere at home or away.

DD, you do know majority of Perths existing fan base have been supporting Perth far longer than Peels actual existence?...Perth has had a few more decades on Peel to create a larger atmosphere and support base....irrespective of Peels greater success than Perth's in the last 20 years.....I would be interested to see the level of Perth's atmosphere and support if all you loyal long standing 20 plus year Perth supporters didn't turn up to Perth's matches.....20 years to collate a fan base in a dying comp ain't easy mate.....longevity is Perth's friend here, because success hasn't drawn many new Perth fans to their games that is for sure.

...All of which makes one wonder, why now?
Why not end this farce before, if they weren't happy with it?

Hope this decision brings blokes like Jardine back to EP, the WAFL and OzFooty to boot

DW: I hope so as well in that regard.

Not sure if I'm imagining things?
It seems to be the same regular posters commenting much of the time? Have noticed OzFooty has well over a thousand members, and there are a lot that don't post.
Whilst I'm not complaining because it's good to read others views on the various subjects.
it would be great to see some members that have gone to come back. And some of the new members contribute with worth while comments.

See what we bring to the table, hate all you like but we do generate interest.

They will come out give them time. Not going to see any change here in terms of East Perth supporters until pre season next year I reckon.
