And Jim and Phil K.North also has a large WA supporter base dating back to the days of Barry Cable and Ross Glendinning when they played for them. Laying the blame at their feet for only getting 2/3 of a capacity is a cop out.
In the 70s and 80s they were one of the most watchable sides and in the 70s developed the run and play on style that advanced the game.
They were, certainly where I lived, one of the most heavily supported VFL teams.
