Geezus that is such a patronizing response.

Here is something for you to reflect on completely separate from your corporate governance knowledge which seems extensive - following a team is emotive hence the frustration and "outbursts" by fans who keep getting sold one thing only to endure years of failure under a governance structure - legal or not - answerable to no one but themselves. It was their own actions of turning on each other that further fuelled the concern that they are dysfunctional and yet deem it as a rite under the debenture system to be on the board of this club instead of a privilege.
The emotional outbursts should have come years ago because it seems it's the only thing that has agitated some level of accountability toward their fans who they keep expecting to support the club while they remain untouchable.

We would all be preferring to talk about next season but it was the actions of the self serving board that is responsible for the fans recent emotional outbursts.
The fans are the last people who need a lecture in relation to WTs.

How is it patronising.

The comment was made comparing the membership of HBG with North Korea, and liked by those who helped support the Petition.

If one cannot have a modicum of respect for those you are trying to work with....

The review was still started before the petition. I don't know how hard that is to understand.

Just because the club thanked the fans, doesn't mean they caused the review. It just backed up the two board members who pushed for the review with the board of the HBG in the first place. They justified starting it by the following actions of the fana

That is a complete lie and fabrication.

It was not started prior to the petition.

How one fan started a petition that brought down an NRL club board

A long-time Wests Tigers fan garnered more than 2000 signatures calling for change at the club. On Tuesday, the entire board was dissolved.

The petition went to the club’s major shareholder, the Holman Barnes Group, which then ordered an external review to be conducted by former NRL chief financial officer Tony Crawford and businessman Gary Barnier. Their recommendations resulted in the dissolution of the Wests Tigers administration.

Helmes and his fellow podcasters will have a busy schedule as they digest how their simple online petition helped bring about such seismic change at the club they love.

What is often said in the media vs what actually happens are two different things. The review was in its planning stages before the petition was raised.

But please feel free to think otherwise. It apparently makes people feel important

I think you miss the point of a "leagues club".

These are essentially private business operations. They are "private clubs" which started to support a cause (cricket, football, ex service personnel). They only differ to Coca Cola or McDonalds is that the club cannot a profit and are not taxed by the govt like a corporation, as the "cause" benefits the community.

These clubs invite people to become members. The advertise how the business is run, and how members can become board members. They don't go into the street put a gun to those people's heads and demand they join.

It's a clubs responsibility to publish the club rules.
It's a members responsibility to read those rules.

A member joins that club with rules in place. And the member makes a decision to join or not.

How much more democratic do you need?

As I've said before, most members want a cheap feed, a cheap beer, a loyalty program to reward them for their loyalty, and place to play bingo/play the pokies/enter the raffle.

Wow, you get all of that without a gun pointed at your head!!! Sign me up that’s sounds amazing!!! Coca Cola and MacDonalds must be kicking themselves they didn’t set up a debenture system!

Normal people don’t get memberships if they are extremely unhappy. There has to be some level of satisfaction to keep them signing up.

I consider myself normal > 10 year plus member.

I understand that in football clubs, individuals eventually move on. You are supporting a jersey.
