That's really disappointing. So happy the force don't play in that shithole anymore.

So very little change to it's current use then.
Did anyone watch any of the WAFL grand finals during the 70s?
50,000 people at Subi must have been an experience. I'd have loved to have seen the 1979 GF live.

Would this be the first time rugby league was played at subi? It would be interesting to see if the Reds ever played a game there.

The Reds only played at the WACA I believe, so this would indeed be the first rugby league match played at Pattersons.
The article states they may get a crowd of about 25K - is that sounding a little too optimistic?
Towards the bottom of the linked article. NIB only holds about 18,000, they are hoping for ~25,000, therefore they need a bigger stadium.
I would have thought so, but there are a lot of Kiwis here. They'd want to spend a bit on marketing and keep ticket prices low.
I for one am looking forward to the return of the Reds though watching either Rugby at Subi or the WACA is a sorry experience.
If NIB Stadium is under development in July it would be cool if they could take the temp stands from there to the WACA an place them on the field to square of a wing while using the Lillee Marsh stand for broadcasting.

nib stadium holds 22,000, but it's getting work done after the super rugby season, which would make it unavailable for the game.
Even if it were available at 22,000, it's still a few thousand fewer seats available than the number of fans they expect to turn up.
Well you would be one of the very few who do care about that rugby shite in the West!

come down to any first grade game and say that
Relax Luigi, there are a few narrow minded followers of most codes who have little interest in sport.
Went to the Anzac Day game here in Melbourne, the NRL game not the AFL game over the road. Lots of Pies & Bombers fans took both games in.
Bloody big hits, good win for the Storm, lots of Kiwis in the crowd.
Great stadium.

This topic was covered briefly by 882 this morning. From what was said the three tier stand will be torn down and turned into a grass bank.
In terms of use, Subiaco are moving in, which will clear a move to leederville for the Falcons. The eagles are going to keep using Subi as a training ground, which involves renovation in kitchener park for new facilities, clubroom etc.
Then again it was hackdorn talking...
Surely there is no chance of West Perth going back to Leederville.
