"they" havent run a .... football team for 25 years. "they" have only been in control of the football club since around 2020 Yes, in that time WTs have ended up with the wooden spoon, but if you look at what is actually going on at HBG right now, there are 2 board members who have managed to...

The board of Wests has led a growing and profitable leagues club, bailed Wests Tigers out to the tune of $11m in recent years and is subsidizing Balmain Juniors football club. How are they "embarrassing" exactly?

An example that anyone holding a Balmain TRLFC membership should rail up against their current board (many are ex members of Balmain Rugby Leagues club)

The Five Dock club wasnt profitable. That actually closed its doors before the Amalgamation happened. Balmain sold off a large number of Pokie Entitlements when Danny Munk was CEO of Balmain Leagues Club. The "kerfuffle" was that the entitlements were sold via a broker, who happened to...

Won't go to court. Tribunal, yes. But won't get to court

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

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...

good grief. That's what you took from this? The world's BIGGEST football team by value, and you think that's a negative? The last 10 years: Played Champions League Football 2024, 2023, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2016 FA Cup Winner 2024, 2016 FA Cup Runner Up 2023, 2018, Europa League Runner Up 2021...

It's well known that Lee, Wayde and TA ran the football club. No one else got a look in. And now all three have gone. We can look forward to better days. And yet the petitioners want the HBG investigated for removing the turbulent directors

Eh what? No, it didn't. The last petition was started AFTER the review had been approved

You're most welcome

It's nothing like North Korea. In North Korea, you have a gun pointed to your head to vote for the divine leader. Here, You have a choice to join Holman Barnes Group You have a choice to go to the AGM You have a choice in voting for a board member You have a choice to request to become a...

Duly Noted.

...ok I'll bite here. How about this. Instead of being antagonistic towards the HBG, perhaps look into setting up a Supporters Trust and offering to work with the football club. These are very popular in the UK (ManUtd supporters trust has a quarter of a million members!). I am a member of 2x...

It's always disinterest

They CAN....but ONLY when a club has BREACHED the Gaming Act or has gone into receivership. They CANNOt force changes because someone complains they don't like the way a board is elected

It's a bit more elevated than that. You can apply at the front desk, but it has to be approved by the board at a board meeting. They vet you to be a general member.... I don't know that specific criteria, but would assume they look at how many AGMs you've attended, how often you visit the...

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...

The cause of the sacking of the board of the Eels was a systematic failure of governance which included salary cap rorts, under the table payments, and illegal third party deals, and TAMPERING AND DOCTORING of official documents. Nothing illegal has happened at HBG that we know of. At worst...
