Much to my annoyance I find I have to respond, the facilities are for EP players and Members, I have yet to see any WCE in the new rooms.

I have seen most of the colts utilising the new weight room.

I also understand that the rooms have been planned for some years but due to money never got off the ground.

As for the muppet from beyond the fremantle traffic bridge I would truly love to see all the other clubs refuse the sponsorship you all get from AHG cos then it would be even more money for the colts.

Almost forgot Creepshow was apparently re-elected unopposed but I reckon God help any poor sod who possibly thought about sticking a hand up as a conscience to the old Black & Blue!!

a bit harsh there southerner imo...Howson has been a long time supporter/sponsor of the filth although I do agree he's sold out this time around. i'm also staggered by Larry's suggestion that flags aren't important...try asking players and supporters of non-aligned clubs if premierships don't mean alot. ask your passionate Perth supporter if at the end of the 2014 season they'd rather have coin in the bank or a flag on the wall...sounds like justification from Larry for getting into bed with the wet toast for mine.

No way BC sorry mate
The AFL pricks picked on the two weakest clubs to target well before any final push for their reserves sides that is certain
They got to Howson very early and made it impossible to refuse & they also knew Howson was in a battle with a shareholding firm in AHG from over East over executive pay

fair enough southerner...you seem to have a good grasp on what happened from a historical sense so i'll go along with your observations.

Howson & Ditchburn weren't the only ones targeted & got at either , the WAFC was compromised somehow as well

I thought your comprehension skills may have been a little stronger BC. My fault though I should of posted flags are largely irrelevant whilst aligned with the Eagles. Flags normally are the goal but not the be all and end all of playing and supporting a team. Very dangerous time for any club to have no coin in the bank BC.

Larry Bird wrote: Flags are largely irrelevant in my opinion and a good proportion of the members I speak with. Was very impressed with all the renovations at the club. The Gym and wet room with state of the art ice bath facilities certainly a fortune being spent.

pretty hard to take your original any other way Larry....

Hence why the AFL slime were the seagulls & the EPFC the hot chip

Perhaps not BC if you had read the entire thread. A couple of posts before it was mused that EP would swap the money for the flag. My post was in response to that point, I would keep the money thanks.
