    So would you pay double for your Season ticket at MES in 2010?

    Double? If you could it would mean RWA would make the equal of 36,000 at Subi

    What is a "reasonable " season ticket price for MES? The same as now?

    What should be the price in the stands and behind the posts?

    I hope that, if EWF double the membership cost, that they allow a 2-part payment. I cant afford 720 in one hit.

    Hence the "what came first the chicken or the egg arguement"

    Stay at Subi and corwds drop further, only 15,000 turned up last night. Or go to MES and have Sell outs.

    Bring on MES, the worst seat at MES is better than the best seat at Subi

    No one is going to pay double. Why in gods name would I want to pay $680 for 6 games?

    Why do we need to make 36,000 worth of revenue when we have only had one crowd that size or larger (39,000 at the First game)?

    I wouldn't pay double but I would pay more, like Jargs says the worst seat as MES is better than the worst seat at Subi. Everyone is pretty much getting an upgrade by going to MES.
    If RugbyWA can't afford to pay the bill maybe they could offer shares in the stadium to members, it would save on increasing the cost of membership and those who pay would have the honour of owning part of their home ground.

    I know this, but it would be a whole lot more exciting if RWA, WARL & Football West/FootballWA owned it or if Members could be stake holders in it.

    I'm excited about moving to MES in any case, because it's rectangular and isn't run by the WAFL

    Would I pay double? I'm with slomo on this one.

    Maybe they could get the Government to lease it to them for a buck a year.

    Smile Why Do We need a bigger stadium

    I'm not sure why we don't just go to Members Equity as it is 'cos it seemed pretty good when we had our game there earlier this year. I suppose a lot of people who sit under cover now might complain if they have to sit in the open.

    If the government won't pay to upgrade the facility and the owner won't pay either, perhaps we need to pay more like Laura suggested.

    I guess an even better option would be for the government to build a brand new stadium in East Perth and for the team to win more games like last night
