maybe so SD although I still can't see how Subi is rorting anyone as they buy seats at AFL games on a commercial basis but even if you can't get your simpleton head around that, Subi's arrangement hasn't cost the WAFC or the tax payer a single cent....can your mob say the same?

Plenty of money spent by the State govt and local council at Leederville, though this is normal practice for facility developments for all levels of sport in WA with grants available through the CSRFF grants provided by the Dept of Sport and Recreation.The WAFC and AFL also provide money towards football related facility development projects such as change rooms and oval lighting.

'After the East Perth and Subiaco Football Clubs agreed to move into the ground, in 2003 and 2004 respectively, a A$4 million redevelopment was announced, funded by the State Government and the Town of Vincent.[14]'

Sports Minister's Media Release

Redevelopment of Leederville Oval under way

Work is well under way on the $4million redevelopment of Leederville Oval as Western Australia's first-ever Football Centre of Excellence.

Touring the site today, Sport and Recreation Minister Alan Carpenter said Leederville Oval was being transformed into a modern sporting complex that would become the home of the East Perth and Subiaco football clubs.

The State Government had identified the redevelopment of Leederville Oval in its State Sporting Facilities Plan, released in October 2001.

"Football has been played at Leederville Oval since 1915 and throughout its life it has played a significant role in the sport and recreation history of Perth," Mr Carpenter said.

"The redevelopment, a partnership between the State Government and the Town of Vincent, will bring Leederville Oval back to life and provide modern, permanent facilities for two of the WAFL's most competitive teams.

"Apart from WAFL finals and State level games, Leederville Oval will also be able to cater for cultural and artistic events for up to 8,000 people during the off-season."

Mr Carpenter said the State Government had contributed $1.15million to the project, with the Town of Vincent contributing $2.87million.

"The Town of Vincent, in consultation with the Department of Sport and Recreation has played a central role in the redevelopment project," he said.

Its the beginning of the end

Colts will have their own regions TAC cup style. By 2018 the plan.

Change is coming of that there is no doubt.

So that ca$hed up mob have not only had 1 ($ubiaco Oval) but 2 (Leederville Oval) footy grounds that have been developed by tax and rate payers and thats not too mention a very large compensation package to leave $ubiaco Oval.
No wonder we never hear boo from this pampered profiteered mob when it comes to standing up for the WAFL and the lower levels of WA football.
I haven't seen any development done or even started at Bassendean as yet?

I cant work this thread out, its titled mergers and no one is talking about mergers.

Once the WAFC financial drip feed ends , and it will with the stadium , there is nothing surer.
