Heritage gatesSo are they keeping anything?
Nothing outside of the heritage listed gates, the buildings you can see in the background are a new high school being built on the site. Where the Subiaco playing surface was will become the schools oval.So are they keeping anything?
3 tier stand was there for 50 years - opened in time for 1969 season.It's almost an out of body experience passing through West Leederville station and not seeing the 3-tier stand or the light towers. I can't imagine what it would be like if the same thing now happened to something like Docklands or The Gabba.
Are you saying it was opened 1973 or that's the date of your picture?

He also didn't mention the fact the 3-Tire Stand was weirdly behind the goals and not on the wing because they had intended to change the oval direction but, of course, politics and the ineptitude of the WAFC got in the way. Otherwise that's great.
All these youtube nerds speak the same way.That guy's voice really annoys me.

I also think about 95% of my experiences at Subi were in the three tier stand,

Same smug cadence and bland gamer accent.
Also, how would you realign the ground when one end would be a train line and the other a key road?
How it was able to operate into the 2010s was just one of those 'shut up, we're fixing it' things. if there was a fire it would have killed just about every one above row D.
A few weeks ago they were talking about the surface at Optus on AFL 360 (I am a loser, yes) and one of the players said it had always been slippery and inconsistent and worse than most local grounds, Whately said something like 'have the players considered a boycott?' and one just answered 'well where else would you play in Perth?'We had a fireman come to do a safety course for us at work when Subi still existed and he said if there was a fire in the three-tier stand it would have been a disaster. Wooden seats, not near enough to any exits. How did it not get closed down to be up to standard. WAFC being well connected...again?
I thought those wooden seats got replaced. Unless if he's talking about the 1981 2 Tier stand that was next doorWe had a fireman come to do a safety course for us at work when Subi still existed and he said if there was a fire in the three-tier stand it would have been a disaster.

Seriously when does concrete catch on fire - there was no fuel it couldn’t burn downYer it was wooden seats in the 2 tier stand. The 3 tier stand had plastic seats but they had no leg room and your knees would be jammed against the row in front.
I’d totally agree the 3 tier stand was a fire hazard - unfortunately alot of people would have perished in any sort of excavation. There was a lack of exits and it was just so cramped in there - it was long past its used by date.
The last few seasons I would only sit at the city end in the newer built part of the ground cause it was relatively fine,
