West Tigers club news

[Ned Kelly]

I am an old Magpies supporter but I would have no confidence in them being a successful team if they became a stand alone club.

It must be hard for you listening to Tiger stuff all the time Ted. I'll try to be more sensitive buddy

Not at all. I follow the Tigers now.
When I go to games I am as loud as anyone calling out TIGERS ! TIGERS ! TIGERS !

The Magpies where so bad for so long I would not be overjoyed to be following the Magpies again. I'm happy enough just watching my team play in the predominately black and white occasionally. I know a lot of people will hate me for this but over the years I have got pleasure from watching New Zealand play representing my fantasy Magpies team.

It's not, but the problem is, no one will give a shit about the ownership and governance issues if the club continues to make progress on the field. That's what my concern is, that Wests Ashfield used the report as an excuse to turf the board and the CEO and aren't committed to fixing these issues that lead to us sucking for almost two decades.

It's wonderful that Richo has signed a four year contract to be the CEO and we appear to be going in the right direction. I'm trying to be optimistic and hoping that Barry is being asked to reapply for his job because people aren't satisfied with the movement on these governances and ownership issues, but the jaded and cynical side of me is saying that HBG never gave a shit about fixing them at all, that these issue will go unaddressed and come back to bit us on the arse when Richo moves on.

You f**king nailed it!! Same merkins running the show unfortunately.

It's quite mad isn't it. Why is it in the interests of the owner for us to remain shit??

How did it all start and if they didn't pay Balmain's debt, what would've happened to the Tigers?
They are Western Suburbs by nature not Balmain. I think they paid the debt so they could get their teeth further into the Tigers heartland and takeover everything, this is why I think why...

Est in 1955 the Western Suburbs Leagues Club Limited was formed to support the Football club.
Now they are trading as the Holman Barnes Group.
The name is derived fron Keith Holman MBE and Keith Barnes AM

Wests Ashfield Leagues, Croydon Sports, Markets Club in Homebush and the redeveloped Balmain Leagues Club will now fall under a new umbrella brand, Holman Barnes Group.
The group also has representation in Wests Magpies and shareholding at Wests Tigers and Balmain whose derelict Club will soon be rebuilt.
“The redevelopment of the former Balmain Leagues Club is Rozelle Village, a mixed-use project which will include a new town square, public plaza and retail precinct.
The commercial area will include a new Wests Ashfield Leagues Club, which amalgamated with the former Balmain Tigers Leagues

My question is, why can't this new commercial area be renamed Wests Tigers Leagues Club? Administratiin upstairs and restaurants, casino, night club, entertainment stage etc downstairs.
Everything you read is about Wests and not Tigers. We need an identity off the field. A commercial one in the public sector / entertainment precinct and not just the COE at Homebush.
I just think the Tigers brand is worth putting it out there, not West Ashfield especially in that area.

Makes sense. I think the Flemington Markets club was badged Wests Tigers. They had a nice Chinese too. Before Covid.

Are you serious Red?
I guess saying Tigers whilst your sucking back a long noodle is easier that saying wests ha ha. Not intended to have a sexual connotation

Pretty sure @Nutz - that’s what we called it anyway.
We’d head up the road from work for lunch every so often.

I've actually heard this Red but unsure what it was all about. Someone's bound to enlighten us.

Because the merkins running the show couldn't give a shit about anything with Tigers in the Brand .... The Markets Club for example was striped from Tigers name almost as soon as they got ownership..... they also wiped what Tigers members enjoy as members as well.. Life member and i now get the same as some f**ker wondering of the street and paying 5 bucks .. They are and always were a scummy bussiness

 

[macnaz]

Do a little research on the power shift of the Wests Tigers Club from one side to the other , and you will see the demise of the football teams success.
I totally support the Club as Weststigers and have left the past behind years ago but these dodgy nepotistic pricks running the joint will NEVER ever let it go. Its in every f**king thing they do...

I do respect the hard arse faithful Magpies supporters on the forum, but I believe the Tigers brand name is far more marketable not only in Australia but world wide. The tiger is a feared predator that people relate to.
A magpie on the other hand is mainly known in Oz and is a pest, only feared when your a defenceless push-bike rider. Or a kid walking home from school.
The fact that the Tigers were actually the stronger club at the time of the merger means stuff all when the Leagues Club was in a shite locality and the magpie catchment area was huge and because it's closer to the major residential areas only meant one thing....eventually the Tigers will be pushed out.
Now if it was the other way around the Tigers would be a power club, possibly world wide, a super club.
BUT instead of cashing in on two major body parts, the Tigers and the Western Suburbs, it appears that they are going to cut of it's head so to speak.

I like to shove a live magpie up their aholes whilst the birds were still flapping.
Na, that wouldn't be a nice thing to do to the poor birds.

WESTS TIGERS
The Eye of the Tiger​

There's nothing better than hearing this belt out at Leichhardt Oval as the players are announced....Tiigggggaaaarrrrrrs
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger.

It wouldn't matter if we had all tigers on the board, none or 50/50, both sides have far too many dead shits and we would be just as f**ked as what we are now.
