What did they do to you Mr Smith or are you merely representing them in a class action suit against the Jets?

Well I hoped anyway.
If I am not mistaken, Phil was the last Newtown player to represent Australia from the club,, now that would be a very sad day in the history of Newtown that a player of such stature would be treated like that.Mr_Smith said:add to the list
Phil Sigsworth - all shafted
well to answer your question HPH, have you ever tried to contact anyone of the board of Newtown and had someone contact you ? secondly, listen to people in the know and you will soon find out just how cowardly they have treated the people listed! thirdly, if i am not mistaken you use an alias and post on the forum, so in more ways than one you, yourself are very cowardly and just too top it all off, if you are a true supporter you would have noticed that over the last 2-3 years everything about the day to day running of the club has improved out of sight????? do yourself a favor and call 1300 363690 and ask the latest victim of the weak willed bullys just what really did happen, but knowing from first hand experience you will not get any negative feed back from this person as her integrity and professionalism far out ways that of certain people who sit in an ivory tower pushing and poking there way through life just too feel important.Henson Park Hornets said:Seems that there are some people with an axe to grind against some members of the Jets management for what ever reason.
However, personally it's a bit of a cowards way to do it on a public forum hiding behind user names, if you've got a real issue with who is running the club why not address it with them in person, or through the correct channels?
Are you really that naïve to believe that ALL the people on your list were shafted by the Jets and didn't leave by their own accord?
brendothejet said:Nonetheless I have threatened to boycott playing for the jets unless the madness ends.
hey brendo, did you really think i would leave without saying something???brendothejet said:Ball Licker, welcome to the Jets.
Mr_Smith you are an interesting little character. here to stir it up.
I like.

I usually do do my research,Newtown Jets fan said:if i was new to a club i'd be doing a bit of research on that new fandangled "interweb" thing there is lots of information out there just ready to be looked up
well said mate, I congratulate you on speaking your mind, although you have stolen some of my thunder as it was said on this forum I was only here to cause the club harm and I was not a serious supporter but a plant from south sydney.Ball_Licker said:This has certainly sparked some emails to me today in regard to certain officials, if true and I have received several emails from different people with similar tales of being treated as second class citizens.
One official regards Jets fans as "scum" while another runs the club as if he were the owner with all decisions being done by himself with only a couple of others consulted. Given that the club has 11 directors and only 3 making and knowing decisions that will affect the club is a concern standover tactics and abusive behaviour towards non conformists.
I am told there have been several new members who have made major contributions towards sponsors yet are not informed of what is happening and some former players have been approached to return next season while exisiting players have not yet been spoken to. The former players while interested ib returning to Newtown remember the way the Jim Beam team were treated by said official in regard to sponsorship which was known weeks earlier would not eventuate and left a sour taste in their mouth.
Many of the board are not aware of these recruiting deals or terms except for what is termed the inner rectum/
It is sad to see this great club which has fought back from oblivion to make the Premier League Grand Final and prelim final in the last 2 years to be run in a George Piggins style management. With new fresh thinking and influential board members out of the loop it is time for the directors who have played their role to move on with grace.
They have alientated former players Phil Sigsworth and Steve Bowden to name a few.
In fact after a protracted fight with the league to gain control of its logo the club without approval of its members has sold the rights for merchandise on for commission only and no upfront fee, so in fact tjhe money made from merchandise is not entirely hitting the clubs pockets but its owners. Perhaps the club can detail how much money the club has made directly from merchandise sales.
This is a major concern
don't expect to find out in a hurry, without an operations manager / office staff you will find that a plant will be put in place to take over the position and yet another closed shop election will take place.Ball_Licker said:The time is right to get new fresh thinking board members for the future although I have not been a member for long enough I would certainly do my best to help any new candidates succeed.
When is the next AGM due anyway?

maybe a call to ASIC might be the rocket required?
that way we might at least get a say on who stands to be re-elected

and as posted, whilst having lunch at the sports club yesterday, there sitting in the big chair was, you guested it, the plant, the same red headed bloke who sells merchandise, more than a coincidence wouldn't you say?
no the wanna be king pin is the bloke who walks around with a jets cap planted atop his head!!!Die-Hard p/t Jet Fan said:Are you talking about the film Kingpin? The redhead you refer to is obviously Randy Quaid I hope he gets what coming to him, comedic actor my arse.
