Perth Stadium (Optus Stadium)

[RedV3x]

To save the opening for AFL Round 1 means having it sit idle for a few months. It should be used for whatever events can be held there over the summer months.

Yes, any event that can pay the rent.

Might of missed it but what sought of stadium deals do the 2 clubs have, is it similar to what they have at Subiaco?

We started our list rebuild 2 years ago, just in time for the new stadium. We'll be fine.

The Dockers have been rebuilding most of theyears of their existence.

Doesn't that just make it building?
And the years they did well, well builders do take a fair lot of breaks!

Just joking... all fans of a club always use that joke when talking about opposition fans.

But I did enjoy your use of the classic "No I'm not, you are" comeback line.

They are using classic wharfie work practices.
"It's wharfie time boys (everybody out!)

Never know, we may have actually 2 games in Perth next year.

Actually if the AFL could get away with it, they would, the stadium will probably be chockers next year.

Send GWS every week.

I wouldn't put it past the AFL to have the first fixture at Perth Stadium as a Collingwood v Carlton game just to have a laugh at WCE and Freo's expense.

On a Sunday night. With both teams in clash.
The ultimate troll.

Resolution of the WAFC funding model holding up the deal for AFL footy at the new stadium appears to be getting closer:

A looming deal to guarantee WA football’s financial future would involve the WAFC being granted rent-free use of the new $1.4 billion Perth Stadium to host the WAFL grand final starting from next year.

The commission would still need to pay additional costs to host the showpiece match at Burswood such as staffing, security and power usage.

A crowd of at least 20,000 is needed to make the move viable. Playing the WAFL grand final at the Perth Stadium is likely to be trialled in 2018.
