HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

I don’t listen to his or any other footy podcasts.
I could care less where Mr Byrne bobs up 🤷‍♂️

As much as it hurts the club and players, we may need to boycott WT en masse to get any action.

Absolutely agree👌

 

[69tiger]

Just out of curiosity how have people gone getting refunds on memberships?

I’ll be cancelling mine today. If HBG want to continue to run the club into the ground they can fund it themselves. They won’t get another cent from me till that clown show is gone.

Let’s do it hit them where it hurts

So glad the swamp has been drained B2T.

Who you parachuting in as CEO? Im sure HBG have someone great lined up. So happy to see these guys get some power back after the rabble of the last 18 months. Great way of memorialising the successes on and off the field for the Maggies too!

Onwards and upwards!

Time to try cancel my membership

Any lawyers here?

I was reluctant to take it on with the $400 spoke in cost.

Richo gone has sealed it for me

I signed up when Richo called for members... Singed my entire family up...fought off the uncles trying to get my nephew to go for the broncos.. signed up my young daughter..

HBG out

Me too. If they question it I’ll be telling them HBG Board haven’t shown the morals that I am trying to role model.

Lets get a petition going for members seeking a refund.

The NRL will take notice of that.

I’m lost for words.

I know it’s already reported but I have it CONFIRMED that Richo is stepping down as CEO over this.

I don’t blame Richo for walking out, thank you for everything you’ve done for this club. You’ve given us a taste of success and stability during your short time giving us hope we’re capable.

I hope this is goodbye for now and not forever. If we can get HBG out under new management I’m sure he’ll be the first person called to finish the job he set out to do.

On the other side of things:

It’s become clear - this club will NEVER be successful until the HBG are out

The fact the NRL haven’t stepped in is equally as laughable, it’s clear they aren’t performance driven but more Wests driven.

I think this is the end for me, how can I give so much time/energy/money into a club run by people who continue to spit in us fans faces.

It’s all on you Benji… you’re our last hope.

You won't get a refund on your membership, what they will offer is to cancel the auto renew, so you'll still be registered as a member on their data base.
What I've done is ask them to remove my information from their data base and to send me an email confirming this.
I will of course renew my membership when HBG are no longer involved in the club, which may be never who knows.....I live in hope!

Plenty of decades long associations with this club are kaput . HBG Out

 

[TigerJunior4]

Dennis email should be going off

Anyone got it?

I’d love to fire off a few thoughts to those HBG flogs.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

And all this happened (ostensibly) over a jersey design. If HGB didn't like it they could have insisted on a redesign with stronger B&W elements. Costly, but not as costly as creating mayhem in a club that badly needs less drama. Or HBG could have handled it and - behind the scenes - negotiated to make sure the next jersey design was more westish.

 

[FacePalm]

If someone else was to take 100% control, there's nothing stopping them from building a new framework which includes these clubs.

My preference is to go to a Wests Tigers NSW Cup team.

Of course, the Magpies NSW Cup team is it's own entity anyway, so they would probably remain in NSW cup. We've had 2 WT aligned teams in NSW Cup before. We don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water or punish Wests lower grades. They aren't the problem.

The NSW Cup team isn't a stand alone entity or administered separately. All grades are administered by Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Club p/L.

It's merely branding of the teams, and NSW Cup is Western Suburbs Magpies and play games at Lidcombe due to the politics of who controls WTRLFC.

The only thing WSDRLFC club do for NSW Cup is open the gates and put on a BBQ on game day.

I have told them today to cancel my membership.

I cancelled my auto renewal on membership portal in the short term….if u find a way we can cancel current membership,please let us know.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

Mate, you do

Mate you're wasting your time trying to reason with him is like talking to a chicken you have no chance.
How can he be impartial he reeks of magpie it's written all over his avatar.

“It’s written all over his avatar”
You do realise your conversing with a bloke who uses a Balmain fridge magnet for an avatar.
Too funny - oh the hypocrisy 🤣🤣🤣

 

[prattenhero]

I"ve followed the Maggies and Wests Tigers happily since 1957. I don't have the energy anymore to put up wth this debacle. Unless HBG goes I am out of here as a supporter..

Same here because I saw some light at the end of a very long tunnel sadly that light has been snuffed out, and we may never see it again under the HBG morons.

Such a sad day for supporters and RL fans all over.

I just emailed the club and asked for a refund will see how it goes.

 

[BZN]

100%. That's it. Like, I get the supporting the club aspect, but you need to have one angle of respect. The cretin won't even come out and explain himself, despite the heartache and anger he's causing in thousands of people. Pathetic human, along with the rest of the people supporting him.

To make an all-encompassing statement like "pathetic human, along with the rest of the people supporting him" I have to assume you know them all personally.

Tell old mate that he’s ruined it for plenty of old Maggie’s, as much as a handful are smiling today. They’ll kill whatever is left of the club too.
