I’m seeing a lot of posters lay into the social media team. I get that these guys have a job to do, and they aren’t the ones missing tackles and dropping balls, but seriously read the f*#king room.
The post after today ‘We’ll get through this together’
Are you actually fcking serious? I’ve been a season ticket holder since 2003. 3 of my clothes drawers are full of West Tigers jerseys/jumpers/hats/scarves etc. Over the years I have missed friends/families Birthdays, left work early, numerous social occasions, weddings etc to attend games. I organized a tv to be at my own wedding as we had a game on (luckily my wife’s family are all WTs fans). Every day game I go too I’m missing time with my daughter. I estimate I’ve spent over $20k/$25k of my money over these years to support this team.
Now no one is forcing me to do this, it’s entirely my own choice, I certainly know I’m not on my own in this and there would be people who have committed way more time and funds to this club then me.
I can 100% tell you that we are NOT fcking in this together. This is entirely a one way relationship. The club is contributing zero good to any supporters lives, frankly if you didn’t exist I would be a lot happier.
We have 18k members and today sold out the ground to an out of state team. We have made the finals 3 times in 21 years in a comp where 50% wins get you there. That is absolutely disgusting.
As a club you don’t deserve a single one of us. Any other club would be struggling to get 10k members with those results.
Pandering this ‘we’re in this together’ shit? That made me as furious as the result did today. Seriously get fcked. Done.
