My only problem with this is that you never ever get anything for nothing, so the deal attached to this must be substantial.
Just happy to be here
ooo... it's purty... I think 70,000 - 80,000 seats would be the way to go though ...
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.

Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Beautiful , impressive and at the dead centre of town - not sure that the goverment will want control of it - they don't seem to like taking control of anything just in case - unless they suspect that the other party is about to take office

Why are these solutions being proposed so close to decision time, ie burswood and karrakatta....The two best ideas are these two and no one put the idea forward initially, i don't understand why they wouldn't want public support to grow over time rather than throw it in the mix at the business end of the decision making process...
My choice would still be Burswood...
Proudly bought to you by a brewery somewhere....
Burswood is good apart from the fact that Packer will be controlling it. That concerns me a great deal.Originally Posted by frontrow

I find the financial aspect a little suss but that aint our concern, all the rest sounds great!
Maybe they can make the roof into a big slippery dip for Summer Holidays![]()

Pardon my cynicism, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Let's not get too excited till we see the devil in the detail (sorry for all the cliches, but they really are appropriate). People like this don't do things out of altruism, there is a big buck in it for them somewhere, and I suspect we will be the ones paying it.
Burgs, we are so much alike in our thinking its uncanny.

Don't forget you are talking about politicains and beaurocrats here. A quick descision might be two years away. Carpenter is doing his best to keep Union as a minor sport in W.A.
The thing that really pisses us off about the whole stadium issue, is that we took out family Gold membership last year, based on the premise/promise that by 2007, the Force would be playing at a revamped Member's Equity Stadium. (MESS)
2007, and we're still at Subi.
And Force attendance and membership is down. O.K. it's only been one game, but it's still down.
Even if they were to announce something at 0900hrs tomorrow, still can't see it being ready for 2008.
So just how many years will it be before Perth/Western Force has a decent RECTANGULAR stadium????
I know of several people who didn't renew their membership because of this factor alone.
Forget Aussie Rules, surely what we're interested in is a rectangular stadium of what???? 30, perhaps 35-thousand seat capacity?????
A bigger oval stadium might onbly be used if the Force were to host a home final. But let's focus on the day-to-day, the lifeblood of the Force, those of us who've paid the money and go each and every week.
Because if we're forgotten, or taken for granted, we, (and I don't just mean my family) won't be here forever.
Yes we'll still be supporters, but will we still be paying our $1,000+ dollars a year?????
Not if there's no venue on the horizon.
Or am I being a little harsh here??
If I wasn't a has been, I could've been a never was.
Over 30,000 still went to Round 1 this year, only 3,000 down on the previous best Round 1 '06.
But they are all valid points Mr Hasbeen

Burgs, I was under the impression there were 37,000 at round 1 last year.
That what was what I based my point on....but that impression is just from my rather dilapidated memory.
So if you're right, then I apologise because I'm not going to quibble over 3,000 people.
If I wasn't a has been, I could've been a never was.
