Well that ruins everything. By trying to save face with his Perth Modern backflip McGowan might have just destroyed the WACA
McGowan's plan is to retain Subiaco Oval, build a school on Kitchener Park and include sweeteners to keep the WAFC based at Subiaco. Considering their latest press release the WAFC almost certainly prefer staying than moving to the WACA if they can help it. Will almost certainly mean no Government funding will be spent on a WACA redevelopment anytime soon.not sure I understand what you mean ... please explain?

This is news to me! Source?in a way that's good timing considering West Perth heading back to Leederville
Then of course there's the scary but very Perth scenario of them leaving the WACA to fall down and forcing them to Perth Stadium and then them selling Subi completely off...
I dont think that will be happening in this lifetime!The plans for that school look good. Keep Subi minimal and a boutique stadium ala the new Claremont Oval and you don't pay for upkeep. Get Subiaco Football Club in there too - in a way that's good timing considering West Perth heading back to Leederville (surely three teams all playing at Leedy is too hard to sustain).
You could turn the WACA into a great boutique oval as well. But ultimately if Perth has a new 60,000 seat arena, a perfect little ground for soccer and the odd rugby game, and an arena, plus the remodelled mini-Subi... that's four top tier arenas for four totally different needs, all done within the last decade and all paid for and sorted for the next 35-odd years. It's a good outcome and unfortunately either the WACA would be shifted to the front and Subi torn down, or Subi would be downsized and the WACA be upgraded.

Am I going crazy? I swear at the start of the season there was a meeting held by West Perth Football Club, basically because at the end of the 2016 season the Joondalup council initiated the idea that for them to continue their sponsorship of the club, they would have to be renamed Joondalup. The ideas were Joondalup Falcons or else the club would pull out, refuse the sponsorship money, and go back to Leederville where they would continue as West Perth.
Seriously I swear this happened.

West Perth's community engagement with the northern suburbs is seemingly one of the very successful elements of the modern day WAFL. Would be mad to change it.
As stated on another thread the Scorchers are going to wear their BBL01 guernseys for their last game at the WACA
It had lights because of the AFL. Funnily enough, Cometti in his book talks about when he was on the feasibility panel to assess whether it was worth putting lights in. He found cricket had virtually no use for them and the VFL (as it was known) couldn't have given 2 shits about what time the Eagles played their games at as long as the licence fee came in on time. So the panel had to recommend no lights, only to find the decision had already been made.
Subi wouldn't have got it at the time because of the local residents. Over time they've been told to shut the **** up given they chose to move near the largest stadium in the state.
Yes I did have to laugh with them making a big deal out of it and us wearing the "retro" shirts from a whole 6 years agoLove all this nostalgia about a franchise team barely ten years old who play what, five times a year at the ground?
Subi barely got that much attention.
