Would you care if the club was absorbed by another club?

[weststigerman]

We are getting to the point where we are too poor to compete with even the struggling clubs. In addition to this, the club has the stench of losing in it's walls. We are also behaving like a feeder club for stronger clubs for the past few years.

It's an option, but I'd really like HBG to find a buyer and sell. They knocked back the approach from Benny Elias to buy the club, I can't stand the guy but I don't think we'd be in a worse position now if they sold at that point.

Not going to lie. We have been so bad for the last decade it is time to kick a team out to make it 16 again. We kind of prove there is to many teams. So souths can go again and if we dont improve the eels can be next.

Why is it that this question has even come up?
Does it have anything to do with the new Board member recently endorsed?
If it does, why haven't one of the movers and shakers that have great knowledge of the board come on and explained what difference it's going to make?

It hasn’t come up anywhere because it won’t happen

No Luai
No Api
No Bula

Three of our best four players gone. Next week could be ugly as the Roosters have their entire spine intact.

I reckon a 70 could be on the cards 🙁

Why does the club have to die , just so some of you pissants can “move on”…

Just give up now if is that a big if a concern ….

The market I.e. TV rights, merch sales and tickets through the gates will determine if the club goes belly up. The NRL will ultimately decide if the club becomes a distant memory. For mine, I don't even enjoy the few minutes where it's 0-0 any more.

Because asking questions and finding answers is how the human race has moved out of caves until now.
Maybe 1979 and the victa jersery was the peak of evolution but we keep evolving.
Dont ask questions if you want but the rest of us move on

They aren’t going anywhere… the NRL learnt what happened the last time they gave the AFL a free kick in an area in Sydney when they got rid of Norths

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Any solution?

 

[hank37w]

Its up to Cambo council
We get bugger all revenue playing there and Wests Ashfield dont cough up enough $$$ for us to barely compete

Get ready for the questions about how much money the Balmain side cough up. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

With a name like yours 'magpies forever', it wouldn't be hard to find another Magpies side to follow.... there are hundreds of them.

Shame if you wanted to follow a BZN side. 🤣

 

[rozelle_rudy]

I'd prefer to see Holman Barnes Group sell up.

 

[hank37w]

doubt state or feds tip in any cash

Maybe Albo can get his good mate Trumpy to kick in some cash. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

$2.6m Will be used to upgrade toilets, change rooms and broadcast facilities etc.

Great, they're finally going to upgrade Frank Hydes old card table. 🤣

Hey Dazz have you watched wingham play lately anything associated with a tiger is cursed

Yep, we live not far from Taree & Wingham.....18 mins North of Taree 25 mins NE from Wingham. Myself, I support the ladder leading and undefeated Port Macquarie Sharks. Port has been a 2nd home since I was a kid and my 101 yo Nanna has lived there since 1984, part of the reason we moved up here from the Macarthur.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

I like this version more.....

 

[BZN]

It's a bit weird, something happens at the HBG board and this place can go nuts. A new addition to the Wests Tigers board and its near silence.
I still think a lot of people don't know the difference between the 2.

And talking about the Wests Tigers Board...has there been anything said from the board or whoever, that there was apparently a piece in the Daily Telegraph saying "Liquor and Gaming have given HBG/Wests Ashfield a clean bill of health re their recent intervention/inquiry bought on by Gary Watson heading Wests Tigers Unite.

Is this correct or not?

 

[BZN]

Aaahh ok thanks...thought the meeting was tomorrow

I dont get the "over to you WTs"...should be 'over to you state & fes govts'

Do we know that it was actually the council that said "over to you Wests Tigers" or was that just the journalist adding that.
Plus, I believe the council has upped their amount to either $20 or $25 million.
So, with an amount like that it really is now "over to you Richo".

Liquor and gaming has cleared the HBG of any wrongdoing or shortfalls in the organisation’s governance.
