Election 2012 PDRLFC

[Etu Uaisele]

Plenty of excuses as too why no one from Parrafirst showed up to the PDJRL AGM, most of them pretty weak.

Not getting an invite is pretty weak ? Gee you're a hard marker .

He's a director but he didn't know about it???? They aim to get control of the PDRL and the junior leagues but not one of them could show up??? Thats the thing they keep banging on about the NRL team but this election has nothing to do with that. But but but but you're just a part time poster with no politcal leanings at all........

Steve Sharp had an invite and no one from Parra First went, THAT IS PISS WEAK.

Can somebody help me out on this, perhaps Etu as he is the unofficial spokespersons for the other mob.

The other mob want to move the NRL and NYC sides to the footy club.


That would mean that the Leagues Club would have no affiliation with any footy side?


So basically the Footy Club owns all the Parramatta Eels sides from Development Sides to 1st Grade.


So the Leagues Club are on their own running only a leagues club which services the local communities.


Have we not thought of the possibility that if the footy club knocks on the door of the leagues club and asks them for funding, that they (the leagues club) have every right to say to the directors of the footy club "go and get stuffed".


Why should we give u a cent when we don't own the footy team. Wonderers play at parra stadium so we don't care about the eels cause it doesn't matter anymore?


Has anyone thought that if we took the ownership away from the leagues club, that the leagues club can wipe their hands from funding anything to do remotely with footy?


MITS? Suity?


Am I making sense?

Perfect Sense Jodeci,

it astounds me that they claim that the members have no control over the NRL team, we have elections and the members have a say, as the members of the PDJRL and PDRL ...

I guess that's why they got Fitzgerald in to help explain why he went down that path, and also to help explain the constitution of the club.

Perhaps you can even ask those formerly know as 3P and their spokespeople - since this exact plan was a large part of their vision coming into the election where they swept to power

never eventuated though - with no real explanation why other than some bits hear and there that people say they were told

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Shit. Fitzy was right afterall.

 

[eels81236]

I thought we were told that we imagined that idea?

Isn't the ARLC tring to take the pressure of funding from the leagues clubs away by give the NRL club a grant of $7mil each year?
I know it would cost more than $7mil a year to run a NRL and u20's team.
Would need a major membership base to support the NRL side without the leagues clubs grants I's assume.
Also wasn't the NRL side undersigned by the leagues club because there had to be guarantee's that the NRL clubs could pay players etc if things went pear shaped and the football club at no assests so the leagues club had to undersign the NRL team. This goes back to when the original licences were handed out for the NRL i believe.

Yes you are right. I remember that.

It's a very good point. Whoever pays the bills should make the decisions.

That said, the NRL should now be providing enough funding via the tv deal that the football club doesn't need a leagues club grant. The NRL team should be self sufficient now.

so you are saying the NRL should make the decisions? .... i think schubert already is

 

[Maroubra Eel]

The thing I don't get is the non ticketed eels memberships? If you want to have a say in the NRL side then you need to be a leagues club member, not a blue blood or whatever the non ticketed membership is.

If they're giving us a massive grant then yes, they probably should.

Good thing, too, since they forced us to get more professional in our front office.

 

[mickdo]

What the?

 

[eel4life]

What the?

Anyway isn't Sharp a director?

HE would know about it right?

So he decides not to turn up ...

hmmmmmm,

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Actually, come to think of it, you should get a leagues club membership with your season ticket. What's the point of a football club membership?

As restarted as you may seem this is a pretty good question.

Thanks Jake. It means alot coming from you.

Oh Wow,
Okay, so yeah you are making sense. Why should one organisation that makes the money give it to a completely unrelated organisation when it comes a knocking.

The Answers are Constitution and Shared Directorship.

As far as I understand it the LC constitution holds the purpose of the club as
1) Provide facilities for members
2) Support rugby league in the local district.

Now, how the club manages to do the second purpose is a little vague, it could give money directly to differing Rugby League clubs in the District or give money straight to the Junior League.

That is why there is shared directorship. 3 Directors from the FC have the "Special privilege" I think it is called in Both constitutions, so while it is still a minority there is a large section of the FC board that are on the LC board and would be putting their case to the other members.

The FC has always been financially dependent on the LC. The only year it wasn't was 1986 when the FC made a profit without a grant from the LC of $555,333, and Fitzy stated the FC would never need funding from the LC again. In 1987 the LC subsidised the FC again.

This is worked from the 1959 till 1999 when the move was made at an FC meeting. The move was made to ensure financial security to the players after the collapse of the Bears. I was also told at that time that grants over a certain value are taxed, and the grant being provided from the LC to the FC was well in advance of the tax threshold and the move would mean less tax, as the NRLC is a sub company of the LC group.
