Absolutely incredible prizes, something you’d expect from WC or Freo. The major prize in Claremont’s raffle is free accomodation for two at Ningaloo for a weekend.
A terrific initiative but a huge risk as well in my opinion. 40,000 is a lot of tickets to sell at $100 each. Even if WP could muster 4,000 members and supporters it’s still 10 tickets each or $1,000. Obviously that would reduce if the general public, corporates and supporters of other clubs all bought tickets but for mine it’s a club which was in administration only year go sticking its neck out again. If I were a WP supporter, I’d be hoping someone is underwriting it and not the WAFC in case it all turns to kaka. It seems to be a boom or bust scenario so surely you’d think a club coming back from financial stress would enter into something a bit less ambitious. I truly hope WP pulls it off for the sake of the club, its supporters, sponsors and players but gee, talk about putting it all out there.
Maybe Winger can let us know regarding the prizes and who’s underwriting them. I cant see that WP would go ahead with this level of prizes with any significant level of risk. maybe a major corporate member is a builder and doing a “telethon” style build with donations of labour and materials, who knows?
All clubs were offered this deal. Only two responded. Backed by a couple of business folk. Money also allocated to help homeless in the Joondalup area and women’s health. WP stand to make a very very healthy profit.

Which other cub responded? Did they say yes? Also, when you said all the clubs were offered it, were you referring to the one house and land package overall or one package per club?
Hopefully those dudded by WP recently (suppliers, tax dept etc) are the first one’s reimbursed fully from any profit made from this raffle?
It would be the right thing to do!
Dont hold your breath BH. If a certain latter-day billionaire can walk away from creditors who were dudded years ago when a nickel venture fell over only to make squillions from iron ore then what hope do those mum and dad businesses have if WP make a killing from this?
Maybe all those business’s that made huge profits thanks to JOBKEEPER will give the money back also,yeah right.Well done West Perth for at least trying to improve their situation,I will be buying a ticket.
It is interesting whether it would be wise for supporters of other WAFL clubs to support this raffle. On one hand it would allow West Perth to have a long term future; on the other hand it could allow West Perth’s superior financial position to dominate the WAFL.
The money goes to several different community programsWhen you purchase a ticket from the West Perth Football Club Premier Lottery, every ticket purchase will be contributing to the community activation program which includes CALD, Indigenous footy initiatives, Homelessness program, high school student learning (Cert IV in leadership delivered by WPFC) and the Starkick program.A certain portion of this funds collected will help build our female program with spent on infrastructure, equipment, and programs. This will help our female football program have their own home. The rest will be used to for some upgrades to Provident financial Oval.
