Fremantle Chief Executive Officer Simon Garlick has called on Fremantle members and fans to remember to buy their tickets to the Club’s Round 14 away game fixture at Optus Stadium this Saturday.
Speaking to Mark Duffield on SEN WA on Tuesday morning Garlick explained the origins of the deal with North Melbourne, and reminded Fremantle fans that tickets must be purchased to the game as it was an official away game for the Club.
It’s a big weekend for us on a number of fronts a really important one off the field for us given the amount of work the Club did in driving this outcome in having a 13th game in Western Australia, Garlick said.
We saw the spectacle in Bunbury on the weekend but it’s a massive opportunity for us to have another game at home (Optus Stadium).
We are calling on our members and fans to turn out in force.

It’s a big weekend for us on a number of fronts… a really important one off the field for us given the amount of work the Club did in driving this outcome in having a 13th game in Western Australia, Garlick said.
We saw the spectacle in Bunbury on the weekend but it’s a massive opportunity for us to have another game at home (Optus Stadium).
We did the deal late last year, so we weren’t able to build it into our membership packages, so unfortunately our members don’t get this game included within this package so they have to get online and grab a ticket.
If we can get a number in that mid to high 30’s this week as the away team it means not only, do we cover our costs in under riding the game from North Melbourne but hopefully we can get a bit in front of that as well.
On field Garlick said although the lead into he bye had showed positive signs, continuing that form and focusing on one week at a time is crucial in a long season.
We understand that after a game like the Gold Coast we want to enjoy it internally without going over the top, Garlick said.
You celebrate together following a game (like that) and relish the flight home, recognizing that it was a commendable victory stemming from an exceptionally strong performance throughout the week that contributed to that win.
It’s a month of consistent football with three victories, mind you, but that does not assure you of anything over the span of a lengthy year, so the emphasis is distinctly on North Melbourne this week.
Fremantle and North Melbourne will commence at 5:35 PM WST on Saturday, June 14, at Optus Stadium; tickets for the match can be located here.
