The WAAFL have already sorted out B-E Grade GF locations by the looks for next Staurday 8th September. Great job getting it done the week before. They are as follows

B - East Fremantle Oval
C1 - Bassendean Oval
C2 - Wyong Reserve
C3 - Kingsway Reserve
C4 - Gosnells Football Oval
D1 - Richard Guelfi Reserve
E1, E2 and E3 - Wanneroo Showgrounds

Probably some of the best grounds in the competition if you ask me.

Very interesting CrampedUp. First time in a long time that the B grade GF is not at Bassendean. Given that Kingsley and Swan Athletic are both north of the river and closer to Basso than East Freo I am not sure of the logic given that North Freo can still make the GF and that is an advantage for them in my book.

Ballajura are through to the GF and they are not far from Bassendean Oval so that makes some sense especially if Basso can get up and beat Willetton this week but that is unlikely.

B Grade Grand Final was played at EF last year Major, even though all 3 clubs playing on that day were from North of the river Wanneroo, Kingsway and Swan Ath.
It was said at the time that EF paid for the B Grade grand final rights and that was not going to be changed.

Is it that gate takings go to the WAAFL and bar/canteen sales go to the hosting club/venue?

So i believe Kermit

Clubs have to bid to host. That money goes to WAAFL. Clubs have to book the ground with council (or the owner), pay for it and pay for security. Any surplus goes to the Club - lilkewise, any loss is borne by the Club.

Clubs have to pay for an Extended Trading Permit for the bar and pay for security. Surplus form bar and canteen goes to the Club.

Well done to Ballajura with all 4 teams in the big dance for the first time. North Beach, Fremantle CBC and University currently with 3 teams in the GF also have the opportunity to have 4 teams in the GF.
Jandakot with a very good year have 3 teams in the Big one.
Does Team 1 play in the home strip?

Team 1 would be the home team and play in home jumpers and coloured shorts. Team 2 would be required to avoid a jumper clash e.g. Willetton would be required to wear their sky blue clash jumper against Ballajura in the C1 Grand Final.
