Less than 30000 tonight and people are worried 60000 seats ain't enough?

Saturday twilight, vs the Premiers, and less than 30k. The Docker's bean-counters will be very disappointed with that.

To be fair, everyone thought they were going to get smashed.
Can you add any detail to that claim?
Has the seating for the clubs, numbers of & location, been finalised?

Not entirely sure but my best mate received some mail when I spoke to him last week. He had been in the wings since 2009 I think and he said he wasn't going to accept the offer. He has recently lost his FIFO job so that would have a bit to do with it financially.
My mate is an Indian Pacific ticket holder and has had NO direct seating offers.
The WCE have sent out surveys etc and asked whether members would like to sit in the same company or not
but other than that there has been NO detail.
It's to be expected until a stadium agreement is finalized.
On that note the new government should sell the stadium to the AFL for as much as they can afford.
Forget about getting a return on the stadium - it's not going to happen but a stadium sale would reduce state debt
which is the critical issue atm.
My understanding too ...
Given the state of the finances, that the stadium name may/will be for sale, I cant see the Eagles not getting next to as many seats as they want, with a minimum number of GA seats - the commercial reality of what gets the best dollar return for the stadium on a year to year basis.
AFL footy will pay the bills, the FFA soccer mob have their hands out & Tourism WA are doing their bidding ... but someone will eventually deliver a result for the Stadium in Parliament, a dollars & cents scoreboard.

Saw mate last night I got it mixed up, he was sent a letter offering a premium extra for $1500 which guaranteed a seat, which he thought was too steep, suggesting it's unlikely he will be getting a member seat

Can't wait to attend footy here. Knowing my luck the saints will be given reprieve from traveling to Perth next season.

No knitters allowed.
Those scary as **** grannies must of found their way to the MCG on Saturday...
On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app
Those grannies are the umpire's mums.
or behind the SCG goals for Swans games in the early 90s
You'll be able to sit anywhere you want, after last weeks game seems all the WA fairweather supporters are in form. 28000 at the new stadium will look good.
You'd be accustomed to smaller/smallish/small crowds .....
No leaks on stadium deals, is that a good sign that all parties are dinkum, not playing games leaking to the press.
