King Wan no more?

Seems like the Drunken Sloth has his knickers in a knot with someone from the club, the fella who came over from the Tradies maybe?
This is how he starts, slight jabs about petty things, then he'll casually add his little gripe into any Sharks related article until it is an "issue" that can't be ignored.

Get on the Booze Bus with Buzz!!

GEE NO GOW AT DINNER

OLD feuds never die. Your columnist tried to host a King Wan reunion with former Sharks chairman Peter Gow and ex-Dragon Barry Beath before Sunday night’s closure of the iconic restaurant.

Gow once famously threw a flurry of punches at Beath and cut up the jersey of a St George supporter at the restaurant after a game against the Dragons at Shark Park. He declined my invitation.

The Sharks have announced the King Wan will be replaced by another Asian restaurant called Sha-Kee this month.

Why they’d kill off such a recognisable old brand for an almost identical eatery says a lot about some of the people in charge at the club.

Why the f**k would Barry breath and gow ( who I’ve heard is just about toys in the attic stage ) go to a reunion for that?

Rothfield has amazingly outdumbed himself this time.

The king wan was shit last time I was there
A 1986 Chinese restaurant at best.
Move on
Like the last bloke who was running it did.

Btw
This is not directed at you bubby

I should've highlighted my point.
He's using this dribble-of-a-story to have a go at the management of the club. The only time he does this when someone has rubbed him the wrong way, and not in the Stillhetto type rubbing

Brains pickled by sucking on the brown stuff too long.

What does it say about them Buzz you idiot?

That theyre trying to modernise the club?

Damned if they do and damned if they dont.

The muppet could write an alternative story criticising the club for falling behind rival establishments like Penrith and Broncos leagues clubs with their modern dining options for patrons in still offering a chinese restaurant from the 80s.

The story he writes depends on which sauce bottle he is sucking on.

The irony is that buzz himself is a battered old brand from the 80s.
The fact a media outlet would identify this drunken sozzled imposter of a journalist to sprout his 'opinions' to the masses proves what a bunch f**ktards are steering that ship.

How could one organisation have 2 such narrow minded drunks like wilson and buzz on the payroll in the same generation? No fluke. They either headhunt these imbeciles or are building them in the basment.

The minute they recruited Mcaleer from Tradies the King Wans cards were marked. He's a businessman and despite it being easily the most popular thing about the joint- the rate the King was paying to the club was piddling at best.

He's also managed to squeeze some coin out of the board for some upgrades which surprised me. New carpet and furniture in the sludge bar and they put a kids play area in the locker room. The food in the bistro has been improving, the service is also waaaay better. Trade as a result is incrementally on the up. Unfortunately it's relatively still a dead zone compared to its main competition in Cronulla RSL and Tradies.

The place does look better; and is performing better- but it shouldn't have to. The club as we know it should have been detonated 2 years ago and should be a bloody shopping centre. I do however like that they are trying to do things to increase trade- for too long they've relied on 12 or 13 big days a year to keep it afloat.

I went to ththe King Friday night. Was a bit of a sad night- the entire team is being moved on and they wore it on their faces.
