West Coast have answered long-held calls from fans by announcing they will finally bring back the pre-game banner.
The West Australian ran a series of reports last year that diehard supporters were demanding the club bring back the tradition, which had been scrapped for home games in favour of an inflatable tunnel since moving to Optus Stadium in 2018.
Those calls were answered on Saturday, when the Eagles announced the traditional player entrance would return.
In a statement, new chief executive Don Pyke said the decision was driven by wanting to connect his club with the community.
“We see the banner as part of the culture and match day experience for fans and having heard the views of many members and fans in the last few years it’s coming back,” Pyke said.
