JLT RD 4 relocation on cards?

[Goffer 256]

Been mentioned on the news in Perth that upwards of 25% of the turf at DS will need replacing following concerts in successive weeks. While the AFL and ground staff are adamant that it will proceed at Subi, the Eagles are reportedly preparing to relocate the match to Leederville Oval, the home of their reserves club East Perth. 

This is concerning news either way, not sure it would be worth risking some of our best 22 for a dead rubber on a questionable pitch. Thoughts?

Adele can certainly make an impact.

[McQueen 17,867]

I was about to post the same. Gunners then Adele leaving her imprint has really affected the turf. There was like 20,000 people in chairs on the ground and then the walkways covering the rest of the surface.

Won't be playable imo.

Adele concert could cause West Coast Eagles to move from Domain Stadium for pre-season clash

Isn't Adele playing at Etihad just before round 1 as well?

Can't they move her to Casey? A low-loader should do it...

That would require Gil to make a decision - will there be time to do enough opinion polling to guide his decision?

Yes....but as  the ground is now owned by the AFL they will not risk the playing surface..... wait a minute it's only the Saints v  MFC so who cares... not like it is the EFC or any of the other power clubs

Could have used her as soundtrack at a few games here over the years

Apparently her ex boyfriend did her wrong. I think it was the first twenty songs that gave me the biggest hint.

All she needed for was for a pet dog or cat to be killed and she'd be vying for the top of the country and western charts.

We can't afford another surface-related injury like Salem in the VFL finals. Doesn't Perth have a better venue for concerts? Imagine being behind the goals and a mile away from the stage there
