So tell me maestro, Wests Ashfield have been in charge now for about a year. They 'own' the board 5 to 4, so are you suggesting that there is still an "us v them" atmosphere? How?
Wests Tigers are all but Western Suburbs Magpies except in name only. What do you suggest we do? Emails will get ignored or simply deleted, protests don't much - ask the Farah fans last year.
We are members of Wests Tigers but have no voting rights re the board. If the board are the problem then it is Wests Ashfield members who can vote.
You keep gibbering on about how much of a wreck this club is but what are your solutions?

But what can we do hap…. I'm At a loss
The club won't give a stuff. They're a privately owned entity with a major shareholder.
Chucking a fit from behind your computer will achieve exactly nothing.

Petitions
We want rights as members , one home ground , kill the Balmain /Wests poo fest at board level , not hats and lanyards :unamused:
Call it the Tigers Revolution if you want
Yes it won't be easy , nothing worth doing well is
When we lose Tedesco and Woods and we don't sign players of note in 3 months this will become a tsunami of support , you watch
Happy Tiger, the Lenin of Concord.
You need to have the Balmain and Wests influence as they are the ones propping up the money. This club cant be run like any other club because of the constitution that was formed at the time of the merger. The only way out is for Wests to take full control, have an AGM every year so the members can have their say. Right now, as it stands, the members pay their money and cant have a say. It's a form of communism. The place is run by hand picked people while the members are left to deal with what is given to them by these hand picked people without a chance to be heard.

They will when they have more Melbourne Storm fans than WT's supporters at Leichhardt Oval
Embarrassment can be an amazing thing , especially with today's press

When there are 9 board members and 5 of those are from Wests then I think they already have full control.

I **knowthat this is the Last year that we will be paying for the legacy of the last few years of shared club voting rights and a rotating chair. That's why I'm so excited, we have a chance to start again with a clearer direction and a majority owner.\

It's pretty simple, when previous administrations sign bad deals that last 4 or 5 years, you have to pay for that for the length of that contract. That means you can have everything right behind the scenes for a long time before you get back to a level playing field re salary cap.\
\
Some of us are having our dummy spit a few years late, as are the players who want out. I also know, for a fact, from the mouth of a board member, that under previous administrations one side of the merger used their control of the board to override CEO and coaching staff on contracts and squad decisions. Then when it all goes pear shaped, they are no longer accountable and someone else has to bale us out of this mess.\
\
CQ tiger, my answer to you is for now we need to wait, I know it has been painful, but the past can't be changed. All the previous talk of plans and whatnot was fluff, our hands were tied. If you. need more convincing think about this. We are paying around 2 mil this year for Farah and broses. One wants out, one is gone, and one has resigned for less.\
\
If in 2 years the club hasn't improved on the field I will shout you a plane ticket and you can come with me and we can burn a WT flag on the steps of parliament.**
