My comment in response to both of these points would be that ANY move to MES would be couched in the assumption that Corporate seats were taken care of and capacity sits at around 25K If either of these eventualities go belly up I'd say the are stupid to move.....but with the ASSUMPTION that the same number and quality of coporate seats and 25,000 seats exist I can't see how a ground which handles our big ticket customers as well, handles all but our biggest four or five crowds and is pretty much full for our smallest crowd would cause us to lose money.....surely saving the million dollar a round rent will help RugbyWA's ledger don't you think? Rent at MES would be 1/4 of the rent at Subi because MES is run by a corporation and that makes it suffer the competition of an open market......The addition of enough facilities for MES to host home games would be of benefit to RugbyWA whether they move or not, simply by removing the monopoly that WAFC currently have on open air grass stadia which can hold 20,000 people or more.
The rent might just go down to the point where RugbyWA can afford to build it's own headquarters since the State Government doesn't seem to be capable!
