I must admit I am enjoying the discussion of this thread, thank you to all. Having not lived in WA since 1990 its incredible to learn some of the changes that have occurred in WA politics since I left.
Last night during the TWF chat I was asked if I had emailed the MP's Gerry had listed and I hadn't.
I don't believe that my contribution in that particular format has little or no bearing in the eyes of the current members of the Western Australian Parliament and for me to email the WA MP's would reduce the impact any emails that they might receive from WA based voters. I am after all enrolled to vote here in NSW.
Whilst I have been outspoken in my views of the need for a Rectangular Stadium in Perth. There is only so much that I can do from this side of this wide brown land we call Australia.

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!

They can do nothing and they will still get oodles of votes, especially with the recent one vote one value electoral changes, which has seen a reduction in country seats - thus an increase in metropolitan seats (which are traditionally stronger Labor then Liberal and vice versa in the country).
Lets hope something happens within the stadium development however, by the time I turn 30.

Rather then them all replying to me individually.
I received an email from the WA Government saying:
Dear Mr Beaver
We appreciate you bringing your comments regarding the proposed new sports
stadium to the Government's attention.
We have noted your comments and brought them to the attention of the Hon John
Kobelke, Minister for Sport and Recreation, for his consideration.
Thank you for taking the time to raise this matter with the Government.
Regards
WA Govt
Good work Beaver
I've set up a script that will shoot an email off to 102 members of parlianment garnished from the www.mp.wa.gov.au web site - but not sure if thats any better than just sending a single email to Kobelke. My local member is Kucera - I don' think he needs convincing

Thought I should add the email Bob Kucera wrote back to me - I asked him "what I could do to help bring the issue of a suitable rugby stadium onto the agenda of the government/parliament?"
The answer was just as simple - it's effectiveness is to be seen
I'm going to put pen to paper to backup the email I send himOriginally Posted by Bob Kucera

Isn't the theory that the improved viewing spectacle of a rectangular stadium will encourage 2006 Members back to be current Membership Holders and to grow the general admission?
The next stadium that WA Rugby gets will be the one we will be stuck with for the next 20+ years, let's not sell ourselves short.

Found this on the wikipedia site for Perth Glory. It is regularly updated and I would not be surprised considering the detail that it is from an official source. Have not seen any news articles and it is easy for rumours to be placed onto wikipedia.Plans for a 30,000+ stadium have been drawn and looked at by the WA Government, and a decision shall be made before the 2007-08 campaign starts as to size, location and expenses. Glory would almost certainly play out of this ground if possible, and if Government statements are to be believed, it could be operational for the start of the 2010-11 campaign kicks off. It has been suggested to just build on to Members Equity, doubling the ground's current capacity as an all-seated undercover 30,000+ atmospheric stadium, although the Government has said it wishes to build a separate ground in another part of Perth.
Alas any positive speculation is good news![]()
Egan, if you use "alas" out of context one more time you've got negative kudos coming your way!![]()

Well travelling Gerry. I think it is a great idea some much so I have just sent it to 100 people that I know are rugby heads and pointed them to the post.
Although we need to do more....maybe a rally to MEQ stadium, a television/radio commercial, giant rugby ball that is passed from suburb to suburb, a drink-for-a-stadium at JB's!
Brother Gallagher I hear you
All those ideas sound great! The rally seemed to do the trick for getting a team here. What about getting some input from the ARU?They are keen for the game to go national and would not be happy if membership here dropped again for the lack of a decent stadium.
