No they will be tenants at the sites, they will operate a club on the site that will pull in further pokies money. Calling them the developer and funder of the project is completely false

Nearly 17 million I'm told has being spent on Balmain up to now and they will take on alot of risk and expense here I'm told.

Imagine if Balmain was financial all this money could go towards the Tigers.

They help with funding for many local sporting clubs and organisations.
They are not obliged to fund Balmain, but do it for the good of Wests Tigers.
As I’ve said to you before, I don’t blame you or anyone else for wanting the Indekent board members returned and I don’t blame anyone for expressing dissatisfaction,
The dissatisfaction expressed by Wests Tigers fans forced PVL to intervene and forced HBG to reinstate the previously dismissed board members, so the supporters voices were clearly heard,
I heard Darcyvtidsy say Wests Tigers voices are not being heard, the actions as mentioned above prove that statement to be incorrect.

And the funding of and propagation of Rugby League in their local community?

I would like it to be but I believe it has to be called Balmain. Will be interesting if the new club is its flagship site, which it could be considering its a brand new development.

Ok …regarding the name, I don’t think that’s a good outcome ….but expected…

It will be called Wests Tigers I believe.

For an entity planning a return of the magpies its certainly a funny approach that doesn't add up.
Vlandys knows.

How much income have they made from the Balmain sites they aquired in the Amalgamation? How much income will their new venue in Rozelle bring in? How will they support and propagate Rugby League in that community if they no longer fund Balmain Juniors?
 
cochise said:
So their counter to people saying they are running the Wests Tigers poorly would be to further damage the Wests Tigers and prove those people correct?

It would surprise me if they did, but it would be clear proof that the Wests Tigers are not their priority and the actions being taken by fans atm are correct.

it is not their responsibility to fund Balmain, they only do it as the Balmain pathways is associated to Wests Tigers.
Why would anyone spend money they are not obliged to spend if it’s not appreciated?
If the majority of fans said we are not happy with removing the independent board members and if these actions continue we are going to force you to be removed , that would be totally understandable,
This is the action taken by PVL as a result of the fans rightly expressing their dissatisfaction.
Because of this I don’t have any issue with today’s protest.
What I now have a problem with is an agenda to have continued protests that will not help Wests Tigers or the current playing group in any way, without even giving it a chance to get better moving forward.
PVL has stated there will be ramifications if things again get out of line, that should be considered as a great win for the fans and people power, but most are acting like nothing has changed.

The HBG don't deserve the trust.

That's the intention, and I think Flemington is profitable but they are many millions and years from breaking even I'm told.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten into this forum lol.

Need to stop .

Does PVL also not deserve the trust ?
Does the money put in by Wests Leagues over the years not deserve a stern warning as they have received, prior to them being forced out ?
Until now they have never previously received a stern warning like what PVL has given.

I believe that PVL thought returning the independents would appease Wests Tigers fans, it didn't.

I have seen the results of HBG major boards. I have seen the club turn the corner under the independents, I want to see that continue.

You haven’t seen the results of the next 3-13 months yet, we cannot predict the future ti know that PVL’d intervention as a results of the fans voice being heard, will not change the way HBG operate for the better moving forward.
Ongoing protests causing unneeded drama for Wests Tigers is not allowing PVL’s intervention a chance to work.
