Rumour

I believe KG stated on MMM this morning that West was one of 3 clubs in financial difficulty and discussing amalgamation.

This is totally incorrect on both counts. We are progressing well and on budget financially and no discussions have been held at any level, let alone board level, about amalgamation.

We love KG's passion for our club and we hope he'll be reassured by this.

False Club Merger Rumours

In response to comments in the media on the weekend the club would like to assure its members and supporters that it has not and does not intend to enter into any discussion regarding mergers with other SANFL clubs. The Board has done an enormous amount of work to ensure our financial position is strong and we will again post a profit for season 2017. We have very strong commercial partnerships, our membership numbers remain solid and our venue is operating on increased turnover. These factors along with the support from the SANFL Land Divestment program will guarantee that we remain financially strong and independent into the future.

Although we have had a challenging start to the season there has been some improvement to key areas of our football program.

We would like to thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to improving our on field results in the second half of the season.
