Gee Tony has really let lose on EFFC admin over this ground shambles…about time someone tried to hold them to account.
This whole silly episode been dragging on too long. Apparently East Fremantle are currently not very financially secure. And the whole clubs future is looking bleak it’s been said. Hope a resolution is found very quickly. Six to 12 months ago would have been good.
I guess all might be revealed at the Lynn Medal on Oct 4th…either one last piss up in the EFFC history…or the start of new beginnings for the EFFC. Hopefully Tony pops along to find out.

Or could be an all in brawl. Ken Judge must be rolling around in his grave.
It’s a shame that neither of the EF teams got to unveil the 2023 Premiership flags at the new ground. While the council has been copping it, and rightfully so, the club agreed to the design and arrangement at some point and therefore deserves criticism

Most likely where their administration works from, East Fremantle Tricolore soccer club.

KC I’ve seen the original artists impression where the seated spectator area and indoor viewing area was at least double the size which I assume is what your club agreed to. At what point did your club learn that the final product was going to be significantly reduced to what is now?
And can I assume that in the original design you had ample room for the display of your premiership memorabilia? So if I’m an East Fremantle fan and member these are the questions I want answers for and the timeline of when the club learned this, did they communicate this with the members? If they didn’t then they have failed in their duty to members and supporters.

It seems likely they’ve known for at least a couple of years that they were not going to get what they thought they were.
This is where the club has broken down - right there and then I would have told the council it was unacceptable and started looking for a new home. They are only now looking at their options - a bit late.

Spot on Chips. EF need to merge with Peel which is a good facility and Fremantle and WC fuck off to the VFL. Equalization of zones can finally be restored.

There’s more questions than answers around this entire saga.
How does a club agree to have their clubhouse demolished without a new lease in place - signed and sealed ready for lockup stage and move in?
Who at the club exactly approved the final plans?
How did the club agree to surrender their club liquor license and be forced out by a private run licensed cafe?
The current EF CEO only picked up the reins this year, not sure what was going on or went on, under his predecessor, who had been overseeing the venture from its off a few years back.
Not sure what or who to believe, as the only folk in the know, arent saying much and definitely aren’t on here posting anything…just folk second guessing and passing on heresay.
Bazza as Custy posted before, the Lynn is being held at The Camfield: The Hall in Burswood…could be an emotional night!, be nice to get some proper info on everything for once…

All good questions - I’d say though it is fortuitous they didn’t sign a lease agreement given they didn’t get what they want.
It’s also conceivable they had a gun to their head to vacate aka East Perth and Perth Oval 25 years ago - either find the money to bring the ground up to scratch yourself or let us accommodate you.
I’m sure the council meant well when they started off this exercise, and I suspect the other tenants are happy, but as said, when the costs went a lot of eyes went off the ball as far as EFFC is concerned.

JT said the other day he went for a walkthrough on Saturday morning and he said even the bowling club area looks small.
