Co-tenanting has worked well for the Kalgoorlie clubs for decades.

I suspect you are right in regards to co tenanting being more sustainable - in a financial sense looking ahead long term. There is a strong desire though within some members and supporters to remain at Moss Street. I don't think it is incorrect to say the Town of East Fremantle admin would like the club to stay and that the club is on good terms with their landlord. Moving somewhere else obviously means new landlords - and something of the unknown.

The Town of East Fremantle council is one of those outdated little councils that surplus to needs that Colin tried to get rid of and failed. No reason why it can’t amalgamate with Melville City Council surely?

I’d say their days are numbered. When the dust settles governments all over will be looking to trim the fat everywhere they can find.

Good of you to give the down and out fella a few of your hard earned coins STT....Tho I assume they were your coins to give in the first place mate.....and not your rich neighbours...

Nearly 68k, excellent. Unite for the blue and white!!! Haven’t seen such generosity of the football world since Subi needed a hand in the 70’s.

You should have asked him how do you make teal, blue and white work on a jumper

No surprise to learn that you still carry 1 and 2 cent coins around in your pocket.

A few months later I saw him again, still begging. He told me he REALLY needs it now, he has really fallen on hard times. I said good try mate, you won’t get me again.

RIP that bloke.

If he came back to you again, he’s obviously not stupid - he certainly reckonizes a turkey when sees one
