So you want to move forward, but first commentators and journos (not the club itself) must stop making isolated mistakes a few times a year (YES its a few times a year, not constantly), that gives the perception of bias to one side of the club that isn't Magpies.

Well that sounds perfectly reasonable…..why don't we all get on board and drink the coolaid!

Moving on vs Condoning such issues.. There is a difference.

Moved on - I follow WT 100% since 2000 nothing more to 'move on' about it

Ensuring the legacy & tradition of Western Suburbs and Balmain is preserved fairly and equally and is portrayed by media and non WT fans as a new entity with a new Tigers identity not a continuation of the Balmain Tigers.

Its not Just TV commentators.. its applies to journalists, marketing people (there are 3 colours not two). WT most of the time make good efforts to promote our new club.. Its external perceptions and factors that let it down.. Being told to ignore / accept those such things naturally irks me and others.

Colours? You're friggin kidding arent you? I would be happy if we changed to pink and purple tomorrow if it stopped these arguments.

When do we not use all three colours anyway? Very rarely.

i dont really like it. it is very port adelaide, which was designed by an 8 year old girl or something.

i also didnt like the black ones with the 4 bars on either side of them because i think a black strip should be kept to penrith.

personally, i liked these ones:

Not the kool aid.. I prefer we all share Jar of 'Black & Gold' Jelly beans - Brand new WT Jelly Beans.. Apparently they dont make White Jelly Beans to make up the Wests Tigers colours!


 

[LaT]

No no no no! God forbid you use **WHITE**? That would be just confirming the Balmain bias yet again!!!!!

Right there we have it… you state you want to move on... but I agree how can you when there are no white jelly beans!!

Quick someone please send this bloke some white jelly beans...!

C'mon... its attitudes like this that holds the 'Wests Tigers' club back.

We wont be 'moving on' when marketing gurus and NRL licensing experts keep dishing out WT merchandise in Balmain only colours..

Balmain Tigers - Black & Gold
Wests Magpies - Black & White

Wests Tigers - Black, Gold & White

Rocket Science? I think not. Its 2013\. Not 1989.

Once every year for a heritage game.

Why does it not take a Balmain heriage Jersey for WT to be called Balmain?

Out of sight out of mind.. Accepting WT as my new team.. Have done that since day one…

Accepting WT as just a re-badged Balmain no way.

_Posted using RoarFEED 2013_

How often do commentators call us Balmain? Once a year, if that.

Lets see:

We are called Wests Tigers (nope thats not Balmain).

We play equal amount of games at Leichhardt and Campbo (nope thats not Balmain)

We train at Concord (nope not Balmain)

Mike Bailey is our chairman (nope not Balmain)

Our juniors come equally from Wests (Tedesco, Lawrence, Nofo etc) and Balmain (Brooks, Siro, Farah) (nope not Balmain).

Its clear to me that what you really want is us to be renamed Wests Magpies. Nothing short of that will assauge your belief that we are a rebadged Balmain.

All of this because every so often an old commentator mistakely calls us Balmain.

Oh and by the way Gould often call us the Magpies. I dont hear you protesting then.

Gus has NEVER referred to WT's as the Magpies

 

[Magpie_Magic]

A lot of you Balmain guys are right. Worrying about black and gold is holding this club back…............... Holding us back in 89 :wink:

 

[GNR4LIFE]

These arguments are tired and boring from both sides. Sure the fossils from the Magpies do go way overboard at times, but whenever a legit point is backed up with evidence, ie the jelly bean man, its just brushed off by the other side as insignificant.

I never thought I'd hear a jelly bean man be quoted as actual evidence…

Fossils….

want to know how you came to follow the tigers?

Obviously it seems nearly everyone from the Balmain side is happy with the way the Wests Tigers are portrayed.
Obviously the same cant be said about people from the Wests side.

I feel an independent survey should be commisioned by the club to find out how we are percieved by the league community. There the problems will be uncovered. 😱pen_mouth:

The only thing holding this club back are a lack of funds caused by Balmains debts and kack of contribution. :frowning:

How about you just follow the side and stop seeing every aspect of the JV as a competition?

I remember not too long ago on a Magpie forum Alien pestering me to start a poll here on whether Balmain fans would support the club if Wests were sole owners. Get over it, nobody cares about these things except for people still living somewhere between 1975 and 1999

I know the big man still reads this forum

[Magpie_Magic]

Well obviously the balmain side care enough not to allow wests short term control for funding and the wrsts side care enough to he unhappy with current arrangements.

_Posted using RoarFEED 2013_

For the obvious reason that you keep repeating how white in no way represents the Tigers side of the JV. The logo on the jersey says Balmain, the jersey has large amounts of white.

Maybe its time to move on?
