Ambush have released a recording of their event, anyone who went out has listened and can provide a summary of what happened?

Some of the topics on the agenda include the governance and operations of the club, as well as the football side of things.

Opinions included:

• The club isn’t connecting with the community
• The club has poor attention to detail
• The merger should be broken up
• We have too many home grounds
• There is a lack of opportunity for fans/members to have a voice
• There is too much self-preservation in management
• The club has poor communication channels/procedures
• There is a poor culture within the football department

All of the above are points that have been harped on here. Crazy that some of these things havnt been looked at over the last few years. Different world they live in.

These were presented directly to the club yesterday.

Excellent. 5-10 years from now we might see some changes 😂

No doubt the submissions went straight into the circular file.

Lol - ageism - what a 70 yr old saying two other old farts are past it - yea right.

Haha ridiculous, he sounds a bit confused with the subsequent explanation TBH.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

You obviously judged me - I'm 70. Andre and Wayde have been there way to long - the age was more about getting some younger fresher ideas on the board.

Wayde oversaw the Magpies in the mid 80s when they were almost booted. People say he saved them, but they were perennial battlers under his watch. WT have failed under his Directorship, the guy doesn't know what winning looks like.
I don't care how old he is.

What were the solutions offered?
And did you specifically suggest that Pascoe, Lee and the board all step down?

 

[liltiger]

Take some special editing to find a clip of wests doing anything good from the last 10 years.

Bonstonker must be going stir crazy with nothing to do

If Pascoe was any sort of a CEO he'd sack himself. He did say the buck stops with him..

Were they sacked for the jersey specifically, or for some other social media breach? That statement doesn't specifically say it's because of the jersey.

All those opinions, sans the merger breaking up, are all very relevant. I would imagine that opinion is pretty fringe.

In place of that, I would guess that more are worried about the club being forced to relocate due to rationalisation of the Sydney based teams and perennial underperformance.

Speaking of Dorahy - I'm still trying to find a clip of that try he scored in 86/87(?) where he conned the defenders into thinking the ball had rolled dead in the in goal, ran through their astonished cover and went the length of the field to score. My mates think I made the story up and now I'm beginning to doubt it really did happen!

Found this posted on front row forum -
John Dorahy playing for Norths against Manly in a mid-week Cup game in the eighties. He was fullback, and he was retrieving a kick from the dead ball line. The kick didn't go dead but he pretended it did just for long enough to stop the defence smashing him. He walked it over the tryline, then took off.

Funniest thing you have seen during a game?

Mark Riddell's try celebration a few years back at Dairy Farmer's where he hopped the fence, took a seat in the empty area and applauded towards the field was good stuff. Absolute pearler that was, pissed myself for 10mins after that.....it was at WIN Stadium though at the northern stand end...

I remember him conning the defenders, that definitely happened. I don't remember him running the length to score though. Plus he was pretty old by the time he got to Norths,I doubt he could have done it.

Fire up podcast Benny said that pascoe phoned phoned Benny and said he thought he had latrell signed but he needed help from benny to get a car deal. Benny organised a car deal and 4 days later latrell signed with souths. Benny said pascoe never called him to tell him what happened.
