We recently wrote to the WA Deputy Premier outlining our concerns regarding the proposed @seriea.bsky.social fixture in Perth.
We all appreciate the support for football, but at a time where junior rego fees are rising rapidly, we feel the reported $21m can be better spent within the local game.

Brisbane did get a boutique outdoor stadium in the 2032 plan, but it's not rectangular and it looks very unlikely to host any actual Olympic competition.
