News Moving To Optus Stadium

[matt_bas]

Very little parking at Glendalough station , better at Stirling Station heaps more parking .
Glendalough closer to Perth and your location ...might be a bus that goes direct to the Stadium from Morley or Mirrabooka that goes close to your home . That would be very fortunate though .

Great idea. Cheers guys

Now that the dust has settled, does anybody know if notes are still valuable and worthwhile having?

Not for football purposes - they no longer get you priority finals / grand final access.

Do they not give first choice at seat upgrading still?

 

[cykablyat]

Why do we still train at Subi?

Only in that it's based on length of membership - and most noteholders are the longest members.

Noteholders got first choice of seats, but they are now Cat A/B/C/D etc like everyone else.

Walk Bridge won't be finished in May .....
Transport Minister saying maybe end of June .

Sounds like end of June , guaranteed by the June 21 Eagles game ....sorry not guaranteed but will have other plans for June 21 if Walk Bridge is not complete .

Wind and weather conditions will affect the completion date .

Last reports were it would be finished in May if the weather held out. Weather has been glorious so not sure what the problem is.

I'd contact the club to be sure ... but I don't think so.

Sounds like there might have been a problem with the tension of the Foot Bridge ...few cms out ....glad they not opening before they get it right , we have a lovely river but not keen to swim in it during Winter !

I have complete faith in our transport minister though even if she may be a Docker supporter.

I'm actually not sure the point of the bridge. It leads to the back of Gloucester park yeah? Not exactly an entertainment or transport hub there. Who is actually going to use it?

Eagles offered guaranteed game day bays at Gloucester Park a week or so before the season started. Me and my family have been parking there and just catching the bus round. When it's finished it'll be a ten minute walk at most.

Office workers for Thursday and Friday night games ...Shuttles will run to the area .

Eagles and GP have a joint parking offer to Eagles supporters also to allow parking at GP ...although very expensive $187 a season .

Gloucester Park car park. That, and the snobs in Claisebrook Cove didn't want footy plebs in their suburb.

 

[larrikin]

That's not a huge carpark though. They are saying 15000 will use it each match. Can't see it myself.

Found a fact sheet detailing where people are expected to go when leaving the stadium:

14,300 expected to cross the bridge.

The idea was to get a lot more night games instead of the Sunday arvo BS. So when the game is finished you can walk back to East Perth, where businesses will be investing (Bright Tank Brewing Co due to open, and a recent article in the news about redevelopment of the area).

Surely they'll run some buses to the train station as well, though the main benefit of it is to stagger 60k people wanting a train or bus at once. If we get all Sunday arvo games next season itll well and truly be a waste as people just want to get home.

It's been too good, the workers have been sunning themselves instead of getting on with it.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

Yeh I popped in a couple of games ago - was nice to be able to get a bottle of Matsos - just a shame I couldn't take it out even in a cup

Wasn't overly crowded, and could have done with a few more tables and maybe some extra food options.

Is the room available to all members ?

if you don't have a seat, its kinda worth it because you get their seat as well and it might be a good one, you can't off load your note and keep seat

Slightly too windy apparently...

This is what happens when you fail to crush organised labour movements. China would have had this up and running by now.

Really? Wasn't it outsourced to a foreign company that ballsed it up so completely they had to bring it in house?
