I know the history and I know the mood around the club. It will happen and it will be a sad day.
A lot of this started when the Fremantle council was going to merger with EF council. Fremantle council (yes before it had any right to do so.) had told the club it was moving as soon as it was possible.
Loooooooves shark park. 2016 member = premiership
2017 Freo membership = premiership ??
Never know I guess

But Peel won the 2016 premiership?
Not sure I'm picking up what you're putting down...
Your memory serves you well.
I do wonder if it might unsettle the boys just before the season starts - new venue, new surface, new routines, etc. Hope it's early March so there's a few weeks grace.
Thanks. Thought it was mentioned somewhere. I'd imagine it would be a positive, optimistic time given the ground, clubrooms and lockers are brand new compared to the outdated Freo Oval. So much like opening a box of new shoes - that freshness and excitement around the club would be great.
Not sure if anyone is interested but the new WC facilities at Lathlain Park is on my dog walk. The ground is open for a gym so you can get a close look inside.
The grass is growing on the old Lathlain oval but is still very sparse as the ground was seeded.
You can now clearly see the oval set up for the Wiggles (the old car park) and it looks like that oval may have just been seeded as it was being watered.
All infrastructure at the ground apart from the main grandstand and a small stand behind one goal of Lathlain oval has been removed. No new building has started but the new area for the new facilities for WC are now clearly marked out - close to the roundabout
It has a long way to go and according to my son who looked up the proposal everything appears to be for WC and very little for the community, oh well no surprise there.
Hard to imagine that the setup would be anywhere close to the size of our Cockburn development.
If anyone gives a damn I will update occasionally.

New shoes can give blisters at first though. Anyway, that'll be my excuse if we lose a few early games - the players are distracted

Drop some double gees down. And maybe some walkway bur. They are campaigners as well

New shoes might be fresh and exciting, but they're s**t to exercise in until they're worn in.

Its a $65M development unlike our Cockburn facility which is in excess of about $110M. I live in Mars St Carlisle so I have been watching the development with interest.
I heard the mayor of Cockburn on 882 today and he said that the administration staff move in first in February and then the players will move in there in the first week of March.
The same timeline was given to me on the recent tour... The boys will be in and settled before season starts
Interesting though that the mayor was not the radio to discuss the new training facilities, he was on there to discuss Lucius Manning and Davilak House.
Back in my day we called that area the Spearwood ruins.......Cue any related ghost stories on here............
I sent an email to the club as I was confused if East FREMANTLE is going to play at Freo Oval or East Freo.
They emailed pretty quick saying that they are exploring all options.

Sorry, but... a back-bench MP promising to campaign for something in the lead-up to an election... is clutching at straws a bit.
