The West Coast Eagles are renowned throughout the AFL competition for our passionate supporters and the vast majority of attendees at our matches behave in accordance with the Patersons Stadium code of conduct by cheering the team on in good spirit.
We understand that football is an emotional game and sometimes these emotions can get the better of us; however, under no circumstances is it acceptable for patrons to make comments that may offend others or are abusive in nature to fellow patrons, players or umpires. It is everybody’s responsibility to ensure that match days are enjoyable for all attendees.
