WAFL home grounds

Changing demographics and generally lower crowd support have forced West Australian Football League (Aussie Rules) clubs to relocate to remain financially viable. In the last few years various clubs have moved some kilometres from their original bases, but their location-based names have remained.

This has resulted in the current odd situation of East Perth's home ground being in West Perth, and West Perth now playing out of Joondalup, over 20km North of Perth. In addition, home grounds are being renamed after commercial sponsors instead of their locations. To assist confused supporters I have created a WAFL grounds map, showing current and recent WAFL home grounds, the names of stadiums and the clubs that are based there.

Update 1-July-2006: Changed map location.
