So, if there is no Magpie, even the little biddy one they have on the jersey shoulder vs the large tiger club emblem, the joint venture of Wests Magpies and Balmain Tigers is what? The Balmain Leagues is gone, Wests Magpies Ashfield is around and Wests Campbelltown is a non voting member. If Leichhardt Oval goes down the toilet, we are left with Campbelltown Oval as a possible home ground (to which the old Wests Magpies didnt have much luck after loosing Lidcombe Oval), unless we can easily find an inner West location- do you want to try and find one in the Balmain area as a direct replacement for Leichhardt or use another one in the Wests Magpies territory?
Im happy for the joint venture to call it quits and each go back to original? Oh wait- where is Balmain leagues? Sick and tired of people p'ing on Wests Magpies. If you seek to withdraw the Magpie aspect, even that little bit of recognition and, giving the dog a bone with lower grade being called Magpies, whats in it for us? Why should we bother?
PS Im not against in anyway the Wests Tigers and care about them and have been a fan since 2001 but I do care about the Magpie too. Im also for a serious look at relocation to Central Coast / Perth as long as our Sydney competition areas can be protected by raids form the other adjacent clubs. I think the prospect of Leichhardt Oval going down brings some serious questions about where we want to go as a club (location wise).
Edit- PPS at 3.51pm I'm not a great fan of the current WT board set up either and think there should be some change not sure how it can be done. I dont want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
