Disappointed in the lack of a Good Friday fixture - it's been a great day at Leederville Oval the last few years.
The early West Coast home games are just rude.


 

Only reason they started it was because it was an AFL free day . Now its full of AFL and other stuff so no point, crowds have fallen since,  good move I reckon there are 4 days to spread it over. 

not happy jan, why buy a membership with only four afternoon home games. i try and get to the home games as much as i can, depends on the work roster, i wont be going to the night games. night games at joondalup dont work, its been tried before and it failed. this a bad decision by the club and it will impact the clubs bottom line.

Its your choice not to go to the night games.


When did they try them before?

I thought this was a first time due to better quaility lights?

They have had night games up there before. I remember going to a WP v P game on a Saturday night about 1998 / 99.

Yep spot on Cess, even as recent as around 2008ish SD played WP up there on a Friday night.
The Colts have had quite a few encounters underlights at Joondalup Arena as well that I have watched.
Typical of The West and those others who believe their daily tripe it is not a new concept at all, but it will be better standard lights up there now I believe!

Have Leederville Oval lights been upgraded? I haven't been to a night game there for a few years but I remember them being pretty bad.

Hopefully Perth FC, the WCE and the TOVP have listened to my feedback and complaints about the Mineral Resources Park scoreboard about how ridiculously bright at night it is and you can't see shit on the scoreboard on the TV or streaming service. I have also told Streamer. Fix it you lazy sods. You must be idiots if you can't see it is ridiculously too bright.

No word on the Leederville Oval lights.

The new lights at Pentanet will have the same lumen capacity as Optus, designed for tv broadcasts. I know two members that may not pay membership for the 2024 season because night games impede on their personnel circumstances. Joondalup is not a Fremantle or a Leederville and I believe there will be a fall in turnover thus a fall in profit.

My understanding is the leederville oval lights have not been improved upon. Good to use on training nights, not much else.

Perhaps a chance to promote Joondie as place to be with locals at night, I say good on WPFC for getting better lights and trying something new, for every old fart you lose who turns into a pumpkin after 5pm you might pick up 5 newbies...
