Its almost as if the Government simply doesn't care about rugby. Lets hope a private sponsor will come forward to assist with a redevelopment of Members Equity so this huge oval white elephant gathers dust every S14 season.
what an absolute disgrace
I am disgusted, and I don't even live in Perth.
The time has come my friends, the time has come to make some noise.
Lets show the people of WA that there is more to sport in WA then just Australian Rules Football.
We need to co-ordinate a response to this. We need to be smart and we need to be disciplined.
The time has come to stand up, not only for the Western Force, but for all potential users of a Rectangular Stadium in Western Australia.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Bugger the museum. I want a stadium for my rugby![]()
Despite the obvious negative aspect, the oval stadia is going to incorporate retractable seating. So the Force will have a better stadia then what it has at the moment with any construction.
This conclusion does not surprise me. But as I said, the government does not have to listen to the taskforce, at the end of the day, nothing is guaranteed to be built.
Two years, $1.5mill and no result. I want in on a job like that![]()
It will take more than Daylight poxy Saving to get WA out of the dark ages when we have leaders(?) like ours.
an in all seriousness who actually goes to the museum...more then once? oh apart from oldies. and who would use a rugby stadium oh i know over 20 000 people every second week... hmmmm go figure.Originally Posted by Mtbeaver
ha! I swear the people making the decisions were dropped on their head a few thousand times!!! I'm up for a response Exile!!! and we should recruit a bunch of dare I say ***cough*** soccer fans ie. GloryIm sure they would like a nice rectangle stadium too!!!
"Believe in the best, think your best, study your best, have a goal for your best, never be satisfied with less than your best, try your best, and in the long run things will turn out for the best."
Museum? What the bloody hell has that got to do with this anyway?
Moveable seating to bring rugby & soccer fans closer to the game... mightn't be all bad... maybe...
I want to be unique - just like everybody else!
IF the stadium is built with a steep slope and the moveable seats are able to be moved right up close to the touch line it could work, maybe.
Every forwards dream is to become a back...
I honestly don't see how it would work. 1. It's not rectangular, so BLECH! 2. Won't the traffic be horrendous? (I mean, I'm sure they've looked at it, but I can't picture it).
Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.

It might be ok .. retractable seating would make it the right shape.. so what would be wrong with that ? May end up getting a Tri-Nations game here if it seats 60,000!!
If it comes down to having the above stadium or staying at Subi then I'll choose this plan!!
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.
Will wait and see what RugbyWA has to say and a decent synopsis of this stadium am really really sick of subi not going to the test because of it
61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
May be good for test matches, but I'm pretty sure they won't 'retract' the seating every other week during Super 14 season ...Originally Posted by Happy

The East Perth location is one location where the new museum may have been put. This has been around for many years.Originally Posted by Terri
Righto, here's the plan.
Let them build at East Perth, meanwhile Union keeps growing.
Once they have finished with Subi the corporates can slip in, buy that off the WAFC and build a Suncorp 55k there in time for Perth to compete for some International event, easy......
