Taking a wrecking ball to the club! (Recent Media Reports)

[Tom Shines]

Not to me and the majority of the fans.

the majority of the fans support the Wests Tigers.. not Balmain

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Or Wests

Exactly

Mate for older people like me there will always be a connection between Balmain and the Wests Tigers, no matter which way you look at it. So saying they are irrellevant is incorrect.

Having said that, I'm now growing accustomed to the way the Magpies run a club.........sh*t 😉

No, I love the Wests Tigers and what they are.

all good mate ….

I am from the Balmain side too from the 80s and have stood on the hill at LO 200 times or more

but let’s be honest …the Balmain tigers board was out of line a few months back and they should shut up as well…

hopefully both boards can be relagated to the past very soon

The WT company ownership structure is available on line.
60% HBG 30% Western Suburbs Magpies 10% Balmain.
HBG and Western Suburbs Magpies are financial partners, they are one in the same.

I'm aware of the ownership structure.

So who is acting in the best of interest of WTs cause I'm stuffed if I can tell.
I see no evidence that a successful WTs is the goal from the Holman Barnes group who are obviously divided by opposing factions and not showing any transparency about what it is that they are at odds about.

They all seem to have Hagipentelis syndrome.

A day out of the headlines and they get ants in their pants.

I'd be careful what I wished for if I was you TS, as someone from the Wests Magpies could feel the same and say we don't want Balmain in the JV anymore and jump in with a complete takeover bid.

I'm ok for both to walk away.

I think the club has lost sight of its main aim over time, some BS about enriching the community. That little girl gonna break our finals drought?

I give her about as much chance as I do some of our top 30....
Least she's got some ticker.

I honestly don't even know why they have a 'board'....
Gotta have something I guess?

But this is separation. Sometimes the brain and heart work together.

 

[TIGERS]

We deserve better than this. From ALL of them. This is just a disgrace. Why don't we all just turn up and branch stack the HBG Board. We then change the constitution to rename the name of position of 'Chair' to DARL, and then we only serve vegan food and alcohol free beer in the Directors box.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

As if that's all it is re the HBG story.

 

[cochise]

@Magpie_Magic Do you know that there is more to it?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

they use feeder clubs such as newtown etc
we are a merged club it should be wests tigers in nrl and reserve grade as a start

 

[cktiger]

Wests Magpies have been dead the same amount of time…. and aren’t ever coming back.
This is supposed to be about WestsTigers.

 

[Telltails]

I think its becoming more obvious that their is a faction in the Holman Barnes group that is not supportive of Wests Tigers as it currently exists.

I think they are having second thoughts about giving up their board seats …

Does anyone really give up control of something they own?

I’ll believe it when I see it ..

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Yes, hopefully things can be sorted and we can enjoy the ride back to where we should be.

 

[West's Rule]

The fact they are the Majority owner of WT it would very unlikely they are not supportive.If you look at when Balmain Tigers went broke they ( HBG) has kept the JV going by their financial funding they also picked up the 4Mil debt Balmain owed to the NRL .Its a shame there is very little appreciation for that good will from a sector of so called WT fans.
