Would you care if the club was absorbed by another club?

[BZN]

Good point. You’d think there could be some sort of negotiation between the club and the Council. Some compromise.

What really 💩's me is Richo is apparently too weak to admit to 'members first' that his 30 June deadline has 'apparently' failed... if the rumour is true that is.

 

[innsaneink]

I suggest if Richo said WT will take all our games to Campbelltown except for a couple [at Leichhardt], the Council would jump at the opportunity.
For the Council to come up with $millions and then only have a minimal no. of games played there isn't very enticing Imo.

I thought the proposal should CSS be upgraded was we'd play 8 or 9 there and 2 or 3 at LO
Im sure ive heard him say something to this affect

 

[BZN]

Your splitting your resources into 2 areas, it might be better to concentrate on just the one. Just spitballing, it's never gonna happen. Our club has its eyes firmly in the rear view mirror.

I respectfully disagree, as I feel our club has its eyes firmly in the future, with the appt. of a new Board member as mentioned in another thread just a couple of days ago.
But that doesn't seem to have generated much interest on here 🤔, considering the kerfuffle about the Board not too long ago.

You could well be correct. At 78 yoa my memory is not as good as it once was.

What has failed?
Theres a meeting tomorrow night.
You're calling him weak based on apparentlys and rumours?

 

[magpies forever]

With a name like yours 'magpies forever', it wouldn't be hard to find another Magpies side to follow.... there are hundreds of them.

I wouldn't support another NRL team but probably a lukewarm interest in Wests Magpies in KOE level.

It's a bit weird, something happens at the HBG board and this place can go nuts. A new addition to the Wests Tigers board and its near silence.
I still think a lot of people don't know the difference between the 2.

The EGM was Friday night. Council has reportedly committed $10M contingent on additional State or Fed support.

Will this be acceptable to move forward for Richo & the Board?

Aaahh ok thanks...thought the meeting was tomorrow

I dont get the "over to you WTs"...should be 'over to you state & fes govts'

 

[BalmainBoy67]

I would not support this at all.. been a Balmain Tigers, then West Tigers supporter since I was 8, for 50 years....
Im grateful my team still exists as West Tigers.
The only exception being..
... Fantasy...as I know it would never happen...
Would be nice if Balmain Tigers and the Magpies, were both rescued and restored to their former selves (happened to Souths) so why not us ( we need a sugar daddy/actor/Jeff Bezos 😉).... instead of introducing new teams...
Just saying.

 

[Tom Shines]

Yep, 1 day to go. Will Richo carry thru on the threat to take all our games from Campbelltown or not?
The decision will make or break him as our CEO.
There could well be fun times ahead.

This is the decision that will make or break him ?

How about win some freaking games first

Yeah it should be 75% upgraded css and 25% Leichhardt

what did Rocco say was his starting price? 50M maybe?

He has said that.

 

[innsaneink]

$50m

 

[Vicious]

Richo must be trying to relocate us the Easts Brisbane, it’s the only logical explanation.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

$50m

Surely they can land a stadium naming rights sponsor to cover $5-$10M over 5 years too. If State & Fed can also stump up $10M each too, that's up to $40M so getting close.

I’m pretty sure they said $100m was required

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I’m pretty sure they said $100m was required

Yeah over 10 years

 

[innsaneink]

I’m pretty sure they said $100m was required

Yeah 100 eventuality over a decade...50 first up

State Govt aleeady coughed up 70m for the COE....i think the feds are the only alternative
50 first up
