So what would be the point of voting no?

That they don't get swallowed up and lose their identity.
They would go out on their own terms - better to be gone 100% than have your 100% reduced to 10% (with no voting rights and no say in what happens anyway) until swallowed up completely.

There is a belief among some old Balmain supporters that this would be the first step in Wests eliminating them from the JV, with the ultimate goal of replacing the Tiger on the jersey with a Magpie. Baseless paranoia which is categorically false.

Well they will have voting rights, and will be still able to run the juniors, this is the only way to keep the Balmain Tigers identity! They also do not have 100% they now have 25% which is being reduced to 10%

The point was they had 100% - now 25 that will be reduced to 10%. Where is the Balmain Tigers identity? It will be a West Tigers Leagues Club and so will the one at Flemington, and how long before the Balmain Juniors are incorporated into being Wests Magpies Juniors?
By the way as I understand it - they have 2 places on the board with no voting rights.

It will be 2 places on a 9 person board. The identity will be on the jersey's of every junior in the Balmain district. Yes Balmain's share is getting smaller but that is what happens when you go broke. I am thankful to Wests Ashfield for helping Balmain survive!

Good on you Darcy - you sure stuffed them up and now your pretending to care.
Go away mate and never come back.

That's fine Cochise - you are entitled to all you say.
Surely I am entitled to my opinion of saying no and not to be thankful.

Geez, you sound really attached a leagues club. Pokies addict? Really missing a good game of dominos on a monday night?
The football club will still exist which is what counts. They're getting their funding from somewhere else, thats all. Wests have more money and attraction than Ryde-Eastwood. If RE were offering to amalgamate with BLC would you still be opposed?
