WA BEARS

[Perth Red]

What hurdles are the ARLC & WA Gov working through at the moment?

Unknown for sure, but what we do know is the WA govt is very insistent on the governance of the club and guarantees it is and will always be a Perth club and Vlad has been pushing hard for the Govt funding level to be increased.

I don't think clashing with the Australian Open is such a big deal.

Wont make any difference, the East coast media will run with the Bears are back headlines regardless, WA media will largely ignore it in all probability.

 

[Perth Red]

There was issues about how much junior funding the wa govt would fund

Wa govt probably wants guarantees the team will remain in Perth

Apparently it’s all been sorted a month ago just getting documents drawn up and signed by the various parties who come back from holidays soon

It wasnt all sorted a month ago, there was in principle agreements on some of the key points like matched grassroots funding and WA govt picking up the table for the Freo temp training centre. But like I said there was still numerous hurdles, what they are and if they have been overcome we await to see.

Timing it not to clash with anything doesn't matter at all. Look at the PNG announcement, it was news for a few days then nothing.

Too many sauces on here

Either way bears are back is a great way to start off the season going to a hopefully sold out Vegas

And it will get a mention in the wa media as if it wouldn’t

More election pledges today from Roger, just not yet for RL. Today its $12.5mill for sports hub in Bellevue and $23mill for outdoor activities like fishing and cycling. Seems this week has a sporting theme to it, maybe a sign?

I don`t think the Murdoch papers are going to be too fussed running stories that might take away a bit of attention from the tennis.

Oh okay thanks Gents.

Fingers crossed for an announcement soon.
