Save Our Sides Protest Rally - SUN 05FEB11

[happy_tiger]

every game at campbelltown last season from what i recall was at night and its cold as buggery in campbelltown at night in winter

Nothing we can do about that

Actually it's not that bad just put the long johns on and wear a warm coat and it's great being out in the crisp cool air on a dry night- no problems and when we are winning you don't notice the cold at all.

Thats what alcohol was invented for ladies and gents

A couple of stiff ones to warm up the soul

Good luck to the junior clubs with the rally. Hopefully the NRL, Wests Tigers and the junior league association listen to your concerns and a positive outcome out of the rally is reached that is beneficial to the region.

Well it is a winter sport - you don't hear AFL people saying it's too cold I am not going to the footy nor Soccer supporters in Europe they go because they are passionate about their team and dress appropriately for the cold. I have frozen my bum off many a time at the footy but went becuase I wanted to be there at the game.

It is easier to stay at home and watch the game but gee nothing beats being at the game.

Just on this point….

**_- Teams need to be able to train and play on grounds of their own choosing_**
.....in my experience most junior grounds are owned by councils and to a lesser degree, schools and clubs.

Its not a right for clubs to play there, its a privilege.
Litter, vandalism, graffitti, noise, alcohol, parking, local residents are all issues clubs need to heed

Is Wests JRL somehow overiding councils/schools or whoever owns the particuar grounds certain clubs arent allowed to play/train at....I know these few clubs have decided to go to another district...whats the story on this issue?

Sorry I forgot to mention the hip flask :laughing:

 

[GNR4LIFE]

lmao…. beggars cant be chooses!!! :bash

wanting games played on Sunday afternoons at our surbaban, 'traditional' home grounds isn't unreasonable

 

[Tiger_Watto]

no, but that isnt controlled by the WT's or the NRL… But whinging you want games at Campbelltown and then whinging about the games you get is just laughable.

:deadhorse:

Well, if you go back and read what i said you'll notice that i said i knew it was out of WT and the NRL's hands, and that it was Fox who makes the decision. If the Tigers wanted to, they could say their preference is to play on Sunday afternoons at CS and LO. They won't get their way all the time but im sure they could get 1 or 2 games a yr. To call that whinging is borderline stirring. Something you are very good at Watto :wink:

Is there a point to this? Clubs recruit players from all regions, it's the way league operates these days.

the point is the magpies used to draw on group 6 to pick up players exclusively but now everyone but us is getting players from group 6

 

[gallagher]

If you believed the hype on here you would have thought the roosters would be controlling Campbelltown by now.

 

[Original_Magpie]

they are building a country club in narellan

 

[innsaneink]

There goes our players with golfing tendencies…..

I imagine it would be a bit tricky building a country club in Bondi Junction

 

[Yossarian]

When? We've been hearing about this for years. If Wests Leagues are so worried or think it would be a goer, there is nothing to stop them to build another club there.

I'm sure WT aren't refusing to recruit players from the Group 6 region. Unless you know something the rest of us don't.

 

[galahs]

I think their last proposal application was rejected by Camden Council, not sure if they have submitted a revised application????

The Panthers have been sending players out to Bringelly Schools, I know that for a fact.
Not sure if they have gone futher South than that as yet?

But I also know schools in Group 6 struggle to get any of the Wests Tigers big NRL players to be sent out.
At best most are lucky to get a few U20's players and a footy card for the kids trouble.

Yet AFL is using Israel as a draw card, and all kids that leave AFL's auskick trial with an AFL ball.
Yet Rugby League seems to think the area is loyal and don't have to do anything of real substance to secure it.

The fact is we wont lose the current generation of supporters, we will lose the next generation if we don't act now.

Times change, a fact of nature some people on here seem to refuse to accept with the joint merger.

and when they change for the worst do you sit back and do nothing?

That depends on your definition of "worse". For many people there is no problem with the way the Tigers are going, on or off the field.

Obviously you have goals and objectives you would like to achieve with your protest rally. Have you sat down and seriously considered the liklihood of achieving these goals?
