News Stoush over new Perth Stadium - Barnett vs AFL

[Eagle87]

heck Barnett and his smug egg. Took the promise of a stadium to two elections, then didn't build it the right size. To make matters worse not only has he capped our growth again but our future growth by having the upgrade only to 70k not 80k. This rugby union western suburbs loving chump doesn't give two shits for anything football.

Well, he played for Claremont from age 18 until age 23 when he moved to Canberra for work.

He recently played in a legends game at the club.

He was before my time but he was apparently a decent player. He loves footy and has been a Claremont member forever.

So he may well be a w***er. But he loves football. Perhaps learn something before going off half cocked.

Are you his high rolling bachelor son that was in the Sunday Times a few weeks ago?

He has never showed publicly that he's pro football. I guess he's one of those "AFL ruined WAFL" guys then. I'll jump the gun and keep jumping, cause he's a fvckwit.

 

[Eagle87]

Unlike you to take "general dislike" and then mix it with a large dose of bullshit to reinforce your opinion on a subject.

He's a football fan. Always has been. Whether or not he's a ****wit is irrelevant to that. Your assertions that he's a "western suburbs rugby lover" suggest a bloke with a class complex; your username and history suggest a bloke with anger issues; and your posts in this thread suggest a bloke who hates Barnett but has NFI about his sporting background or interests ...

Apart from that you're awesome

Played for Claremont hey.. I shouldve known

Perhaps as the premier of the state, rather than showing bias towards one sport - he might think his job is to ... you know.... represent everyone.

Football's all that matters anyhow.

If he wasn't pro football the stadium would never have happened. The treasurer has said multiple times he didn't think we should be building it.

It's mainly that he took it to two elections that pisses me off and its not 80k.

The Roar says Gillon has guaranteed that the AFL will play at the new stadium in 2018, regardless of current negotiations.

That's how I read it - if public money pays for the facility it must support all public uses not a single sport. If the AFL wants a monopoly let them pay for it.

as if the AFL would not - they would look like idiots stooging around at subi as it was demolished.

Meh its all just argy bargy - fire a few shots across the bow, flop your dick out on the table - see who can piss highest up the walls etc

If we're into piss-soaked walls, we may as well stay at Subi.

Have you seen the new toilets at the new stadium - found this online

Agreed to an extent. As the major tenant and pretty much the only reason it is being built we should be treated like royalty. Does the state government really want us to be under financial stress? They wont both teams up and about on the field and off. Little things like not rostering International Rugby matches in September at the new Stadium should be mandatory.

I doubt it is even that. Just media drumming up a story, deal hasn't been finalised so it must be a difficult negotiation. When in reality there is more than 2 years to finalise the deal and they are slowly and methodically going through the process.

Next election The Footy Party

Hmm, the Big Footy Supporters Party has a ring, should have no trouble getting enough members to be recognised by the electoral commission.
Plus Chief has politician written all over him.

Looks like an extra 11k seats for the Eagles, currently 39k at Subi, so 50k for the Eagles, 10k left for walk ups, footy tourism, etc ..

Will the 3 game membership materialise or will the in the wings membership be offered seasons seating?

How much of the extra revenue generated will go in rent ?

We also have no shortage of campaigners.
