No doubt Darcy B - we have two Darcy's on board - loves a platform and there is no doubt about him being a WTs supporter.

Shouldn't the angst be directed at West Ashfield? How is that done?

For example, shouldn't people be cancelling their Wests Ashfield memberships first? Or not visitng the joint? Or write to to supporters of Wests Ashfield voicing disgust. Any other ways. How do you change the governance of Wests Ashfield?

If people want to cancel Wests Tigers memberships and not turn up at games, who is that hurting? It hurts the Wests Tigers more then Ashfield.

The players, coach Wests Tigers board, Cambo, sponsors want to see us supporting them.

I'm not suggesting, the supporters don't voice their frustrations somehow but what's the most constructive?

They give us no levers at all at HBG.

So we will use every strategy we have.

I will say in fairness to Darcy, I don't know him personally, but I have no doubts he's a legitimate serious supporter. @cochise or one of the podders could also chime in because they've spoken with him.

I see Darcy regularly at home games and he's also often watching matches at the club; never seen him do this in his capacity as mayor, always dressed casually and keeping to himself.

I have a very good relationship with Darcy, he is a politician no doubt but he does have a love of the club and is standing up for what he believes in. Wests Ashfield I believe is in his electorate so his public support of this does show he is willing to stand up for the club.
 
Marshall is literally the last man standing in terms of being able to influence the playing group and prospective recruits. He must surely be reflecting on what has happened. The absence of a statement from the Club to its members/supporters and sponsors does not auger well for the future. I am sure other clubs and player managers are busy. I don't know whether to be appalled, heartbroken or a mix of both
 
I hate that there are selfish old people hoping for an outcome of a split from the merger teams. There are young kids and adults under the age of 40 who have grown up loving West Tigers only.

We (Magpies and Balmain supporters) should be able all throw our support behind this club together, get along and move on.

We are effectively treading shark infested waters as a club after 14 years of misery.

Is that your big problem? That I have a Balmain related avatar? I have changed it multiple times over the years, sometimes WT and sometimes a Balmain related one. You're the only bloke that's ever said I have some pro-Balmain agenda...think what you like, but you're on your own. I think you'll find, if you actually bother to do any research, I was quite happy when Wests took majority ownership if it meant the infighting would stop as I believed it was holding us back.

For the same reasons, I want HBG gone because I believe the infighting is holding us back....again.

You have a very low resolution outlook on life.

The problem is that the clown missed his bus and will not shut the hell up with his remorseless trolling the imbecilic burgess fluffing halfwit

I'm a HBG member and like most are horrified by the conduct of the HBG board however, I won't resign my HBG membership as there could be an upheaval and subsequent vote such as scrapping the debenture system, the board elections or whatever, who knows?? My instinct at this time is don't patronise the place but, hold on to your membership "stay in the tent" and "keep your powder dry"!!

We need to support all WT staff, Benji and the team to the hilt but, during matches this season voice or demonstrate our displeasure to HGB unilaterally in some orchestrated way?

According to my research current HBG directors who are debenture holders are Burgess (Chair),Montgomery, Tropiano, Liubinskas & Di Michiel. Independents are Primerano (Deputy Chair) & Yabsley.
Current WT board members Burgess & Montgomery both debenture holders can anybody confirm?
