POLL: Should the club fold and handover/sell the licence?

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Club's not gonna fold, the finances are OK and that's all that you need to hold your NRL licence.

I don't want the club to fold or be replaced and I can't understand the mentality of anyone who does. I don't care how bad they are in any season, still my club and I can't ever replace them.

And if there are any inevitable "oh so you accept mediocrity" comments, save your breath because that's nonsense, you can both support something and want for them to do better.

Perhaps ONLY "mediocre fans" want to fold the club just because they are bored and have femto second attention span?🤔

At th expense of the fans and a business venture tailored to the apex of economic demands of the 21st Century?

I still can't find a good reason not to fold us.

How about not giving up?

I think they have

I personally feel that the only way forward now for this club to be successful is to relocate to Perth. The Wests/Tigers has been an abject failure bar three years, start afresh with no past club beefs and grudges. A fresh slate is the only way forward, both Balmain and Wests have too much bad blood and it is reflected in the piss poor performances of this club both on and off the field.
If Perth is not an option then just change the name and brand to something more appropriate like the Western Sydney Lions, that way it has no connection name wise to the other shit shows.

Sorry man.. can’t agree…

Balmain are dead …. Wests Ashfield own 90 per cent of the club now and keep Balmain on at 10 percent as a charity case…

Wests Tigers have been around 24 years .. means you would need to be pushing 35 to remember life before the merger

doubt it,., there is a gravy train still to be ridden by the Board…Lee and Pascoe

Thats a different story. Results confirming your theory.

Wests Ashfield could be dead too. Not financially . They seem to be in a good position. Dead in Altruism and the fans that show up week in week out. No cohesion. Every man for himself.

The care factor is low… but I don’t see Ashfield giving them up or allowing them to move interstate …

Owning an NRL team… even the Wests Tigers, gives them some degree of relevance and a membership of a pretty exclusive club..

I mean, think of all the out of work park footy players and admin people that won’t have a job anymore? Think of the front office man!

Seriously, what are YOU doing on THIS forum? Thanks for YOUR contributions, but YOU are free to leave and support another club!
I do not get how can one think that if it/she/he cannot follow the club, NO ONE should!
And demand that the club must fold? 🤔
How selfish and mediocre is that? 🤔

And the fans like you who are invested

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Plus the forum loves Gallagher. What would happen to you? Would we hear from you again?

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah… it’s hard to be in anyway optimistic…

I was thinking a week or so back that Lee might throw Pascoe under the bus… but now it looks like Sheens and possibly even Benji might be the scapegoats

So you can't think of a reason either?

Its not hard to be optimistic. Just kill the cancer. Thats it.

There’s a reason euthanasia is legal in more forward thinking countries bud. Sometimes it better for everyone if you give nana a clean way out on her own terms. WT are terminal at this point and there’s no miracle cure.

I just can’t see it happening … because of the apathy…

Hope I am wrong
