PERTH Glory owner Tony Sage insists this week's double header is a glorious chance for fans to send a powerful message in the pursuit of a world class stadium for the city.
English Premier League sides Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers are in town on Wednesday night.
There will be more than $100 million dollars of football royalty on show and Sage said there has never been a better opportunity to pack the venue and deliver a strong message to key stakeholders, including the State Government, that Perth needs a world class rectangular stadium.
"The decision makers need to see that a redeveloped Members Equity Stadium will be utilised by the Perth public," he said.
"As a club we are doing everything we can to convince the State Government that we need a stadium that is capable of hosting the best teams from around the globe, including World Cup games, however the support of the public is the critical element.
"We have two teams from the world's best football competition in town to play on the one night, that's unprecedented in this state. All the ingredients are there and now it is up to West Australians to vote with their feet."
Glory's owner said the 11,083 supporters who turned out to see Perth play Wolverhampton Wanderers last Friday created a wonderful atmosphere and impressed the visitors with their enthusiasm and good natured support.
He added: "We are fortunate to have a dedicated group of members and fans and I'd like to thank them for turning out and supporting the first of these two big nights of action.
"We look forward to seeing them again on Wednesday and hope they'll be joined by even more of Perth's renowned passionate sporting public.
"I'm looking forward to a massive night for football in Western Australia."
Wolves take on North Queensland Fury at 5.15pm with Perth facing Fulham at 8pm.
