OK chaps and chapess's. If memory serves me correctly, I had to lock the
last thread on this subject because of squabbling.
The Warriors Supporters Association was and is a very good and noble idea.
Obviously senior management at the Warriors think so as well, as the second
meeting was instigated by themselves, but encompassing a much wider group
than just a forum members. It was pointed out, much earlier in the piece, that
the Warriors fan base is much bigger than the sum of the various forum
members - thus the much wider group was invited.
The key word in the above is "invited". I, personally, was not invited. I, personally
have not felt the need to go rushing into print and bagging off other forums, other
groups, other individuals, because of that. I have felt that, there is a growing
momentum in the Warriors seeking opinion and ideas from their fan base here in
NZ. I see a call for this to spread to the Australian fan base and I'm sure this will
happen in time - small steps.
This growing momentum is pretty much the direct result of a single, initial
post by one man. That man is THE most parochial fan you will ever encounter.
That man is Ozbash.
Please do not undo the work that he has begun. Please leave your petty forum
politics behind when getting involved in this noble, ongoing, project with the
Warriors management. Leave the egos at the door, as they say, and get your
ideas forward where they will be seen by the Warriors executive. It's completely
immaterial who the messenger is.
Just one other thing. It is the philosophy and the policy of this site, that, we
do not concern ourselves with what might be happening on other sites and
forums. We are our own entity. We are the biggest, and some say the best,
and that is how we intend to remain. Leave all inter-forum crap at the sign
on screen.
Cheers
Skinner
