HBG, Independent Directors Sacked

[Telltails]

Let's see if Denny puts the best interest of the club ahead of his own self interest, and if not who has the guts cut the cord.
I think Denny will do what he always does hide say nothing, and do his dirty work behind closed doors.

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

Take this up with NRL if you want a refund.

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.

I cancelled a membership mid year a while back.. they would only do it once i returned my dodgy shit merch . HAHAH.. can you believe that.

It’s been said plenty of times in last 248 pages, but I can’t stress enough this is about our club the Weststigers, not the Magpies or the Tigers. The HBG want to divide and conquer and while the factional fighting goes on they are a real chance of success. So everyone has to unite for the common cause and forget about Balmain and Wests and do everything they can to get their voices heard that they are fighting for the Weststigers

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

UPDATE: If one is deemed to have “only shown concern for Wests Tigers” one is allowed to use a Balmain avatar but if Fisherman Steve uses his extraordinary mind reading skills to drill down into your psyche and reckons you still hold a torch - then no Western Suburbs avatar shall be allowed.

 

[happy_tiger]

We need the support of the players to gain leverage over HBG
Even if it means the entire roster asking for releases from their contracts
And they have to march to show a united front against HBG ...even get Richo to show up

Most on this forum have stated that Benji is the worst coach in the NRL, so you should be happy if he gets the flick. Clowns

How did Ivan and Madge go working under our shareholders? You know the guys who have the last five premiership trophies at home! I won’t call you a name, no need.

I disagree SC ....having the Magpie fans from the JV show up in their Magpie gear will have a bigger effect on HBG

Definitely feel fair trading would get involved. We all signed on how the Club was travelling with Richardson at the chair and independent board, not the product we signed on for.

 

[69tiger]

Like others have cancelled my Kayo account, have emailed both the football club and the licensed club to cancel my memberships. I have also advised the NRL of my membership cancellations.

One person’s action will change nothing but people power will and although under their current debenture system they are answerable to nobody, enough noise can break down their castle.

We can’t let them get away with it, it’s our Club

Well we may not get refunds of our membership but certainly everyone should try.
Not turning up to any of the games can’t be controlled by the current board. It will be our decision whether we want to do this not theirs.

It should be noted that we all love nothing more than going to the footy, but these shareholders don’t deserve our patronage.

Only good if the debenture system goes too.

Yep, still selected from the same circle jerk of 20 unearned positions.

Really well said mate. The lack of unity is frustrating at times from our fringe members, especially when it is ao clearly bad what HBG have done over recent history.

The apologists have no logical footing.

I’d tread carefully with wearing Magpies gear. I get the intent, but I’d say the majority in the crowd would see it as a division tactic and that you are an interloper. Just be mindful.

The crowd are focused on Wests Tigers and ousting HBG.

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

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
