It's time to take the fight back to HBG

[cochise]

How can Apia members vote on a HB board?

Because they are also HBG members, the concern is that members who are closer aligned to APIA than the Magpies have greater influence and numbers.

Honestly, the tales from this little leagues clubs and its 3 pokie dens is just ludicrous. I just want a successful football club. I really hope the NRL steps in and takes control of the club and reinstates the Crawford Barnier report recommmendations in full.
I come from a long line of magpie fans, always had a soft spot for the tigs… I love the club and just want success. I know full well that will never happen while HBG has anything to do with the club. Shame on all the faction side takers. You are the problem.

Very Wests biased. Very.
Old mate must've read this forum and decided to try and counter the bias. Good luck with that !

No one born after the Vietnam war .

To add:

- HBG actually give more money to Balmain's footy club the the Magpies
- The Magpies footy club board is cooked as well for ordinary members with 4/7 spots appointed by HBG

Outside of people's imaginations, the whole Magpies v Balmain hasn't been a thing for a very long time.

That’s because “wests” are funded by wests Campbelltown , and as a leagues club , what possible juniors are they to fund if not Balmain . It was part of the negotiations when wests bought the shares off Balmain to own wests tigers . It’s not some charity . It’s those ethical responsibility as the wests tigers majority owners to take care of the wests tigers junior base of which just so happens to be Balmain.

Nothing I hate more than people with persecution complexes. You’re a weak individual if you constantly feel like a victim.

….. lol huh ? That’s a joke yea ?

This Mark McAlister would prefer to have the Brisbane Magpies or Hamilton Magpies rather than get behind Wests Tigers. Bloody whinging that the Bears are back lol, they are in Perth you imbecile

The only reason they’re back is a cynical attempt to have a supporter base on the east coast to drive eyeballs and viewership when their games are played , as it’s all but guaranteed no matter how successful they are they won’t have anywhere near a respectable market share re. Viewership numbers on the west coast because west coast and Fremantle >>>>>>>>>>>>>> probably the bears >> force.

Agreed mate.

The nrl needs to force a sale . Private ownership 49%, 40% to wests - ctown - 11% Balmain. .
The move into football by HBG/apia . Is fine . If the intent is an eventual A league team . Just invest in the round ball and whatever . It better fits everything these guys are about anyway .
Sell the 49% off to the fanbase ala GB packers , with limits on shares per person in the original sale to stop someone doing a hostile takeover , and give the the club back to the fans.

So Apia sold out to Wests Ashfield in return for some debenture seats?

Who is concerned and who got the best deal out of this?
Sounds like HB outsmarted themselves

Is this what our esteemed owners bought into?



I get more confused by all this garbage with every twist n turn
