AFL intra-club match a closed eventTuesday, February 27, 2018 - 11:46 AM

This Sunday's intra-club match between Fremantle Dockers and West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval has been confirmed as a 'closed to the public' event, following consultation with the two AFL clubs and the WA Football Commission.

Unfortunately, Subiaco Oval is in the process of being decommissioned as a public venue, including the removal of catering equipment and other public amenities, and therefore is not in the position of being able to host the number of fans expected to want to attend the match.

The potential of providing the amenities required to host football fans at the match were explored by the two clubs and the WAFC, however cost considerations proved too high.

Fans of the two AFL teams will however have the opportunity to see their team in action the following weekend at HBF Arena when the revamped venue hosts another derby in the JLT Community Series.

Dockers and Eagles supporters are encouraged to secure their tickets to the March 11 fixture via Ticketmaster.
