HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[innsaneink]

The crowd are focused on Wests Tigers and ousting HBG.

Yeah obviously...but if the divisive group do in fact turn up as ive seen mentioned elsewhere....he may be mistaken for one of them

Wonder if Benji will stay or walk away

He’ll be sacked as soon as we have a losing streak

I'm just hoping there isn't a counter protest

“HBG are doing great”

LOL

I think there will be an attempt. But only 50 drunks. They will be ridiculously outnumbered.

I’m about to go on a passionate fired up rant. But as an old Magpie myself I cannot fathom how some of us old blokes would rather sit here and hang on to an old club that hasn’t existed for over 25 years then get behind one that exists today. @BZN @Bus 2 Terrigal You both are a disgrace to Magpie legends like Tommy who were behind the joint venture from day 1 and celebrated this club openly & proudly. Do you guys agree with the actions of Wests Ashfield that are driving away young fans in droves including @tigahhh @WesternSuburbsBoy on here? All because of what some old man ego & pride? Shane Richardson is the best administrator the game has ever seen and it was thrown away because our boys couldn’t swallow their pride & follow through with something that they agreed too. I am actually ashamed to be a Western Suburbs Magpies fan at the moment & I never thought i’d say that because they were such a big part of my early life just like Wests Tigers are for my kids & many kids in Sydney. I will be attending the rally on Saturday with my kids in my Magpies gear not as a show of division but as a sign of unity that me the Magpie is fully behind the Wests Tigers. I want to see Shane Richardson & the independent board reinstated & I want to see the Wests Tigers prosper long term.

In fairness to Western Suburbs, there are multiple organisations with the Magpies banner/name who do not support this. Wests Ashfield is the culprit here.

They’ll turn up to find thousands of families peacefully rallying. Calm the farm.

I wouldn’t even call it a counter protest. More like group with their Magpie flags, looking to rile people up.

You think that would deter them?

 

[BAGNF05]

You think that would deter them?

Yeah, I do.

Mate- I'm just sitting here in my undies, reading a message board with my theories.

If I knew much of anything, I'd probably offer suggestions.

I just hope the new CEO is good.

But the old one was already pretty good, that's the point.

Others . I think Darcy Byrne being involved has added weight and gravitas to the movement. I’ve been looking around threads and replies of posts about it , and there’s been plenty of “tigers fans Went to the souths rally , people should go to the tigers” sentiment .

I'll give Darcy credit that he got on the front foot really quickly. Like any experienced pollie he knows to strike when the issue is hot.

I’ve bagged him previously. I take it all back.

If he's using this for political gain, then we are using him just as much for exposure. It's a fair trade

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’m hearing burgess is gone . To fall on his sword . Is this true ?

I mean I'm not bothered by a Leagues Club as such.

It's that god awful, lying, terrible HBG board. This isn't stuff that is just unpopular, its bulls1t and dodgy as hell. Its been going on for so long. It's nuts. I'm just glad that the conversation is finally really starting to shift and your average footy punter and journalist is starting to hate on the foundation clubs instead of the JV and see the distinction. That and people are finally starting to scrutinise Denny Burgess. That's our only hope.

 

[TIGERS]

But the old one was already pretty good, that's the point.

It'll be back to what Madge and Potter had to put up with. Everything being picked at and pulled apart by the Board, results of end of season reports ending up in the SMH. CEOs and Coaches being sacked by people without a clue. Changing plans all the damned time. They can't leave it the way proper outfits know how to govern and they think the club is their own personal possession. And also being Magpies they'll act as if things never went bust at lidcombe, never went bust at Campbelltown, and that the last 10 years of failure had nothing to do with them either.

Being a debenture holder of a leagues club does not make you as an individual person the owner and king of Wests Tigers or the Magpies.

I have just read that members requesting a refund of membership fees are being refused as they do not refund if you change your mind
I believe Fair Trading will be happy to get involved as you are not receiving the product you signed up for as the Wests Tigers HBG have altered the product that you as the consumer purchased
How desperate are they for members Now and how to really aggravate this current situation

Sent my email yesterday asking for a refund the response I got was..... so I'II see what happens.


Thanks for contacting the Wests Tigers Membership team!
We’ve received your message and will respond within the next 3 Business Days.
