I felt warmer towards the empire before their dickwad provided his explanations.
I might go to the rally after all.
I could take photos for an LU exclusive.
Go way back when I said this would evolve.
There is a divide between the old Balmain and Western Suburbs Magpies. Even at all this time, idiots like Burgess are dragging the joint venture into the ground.
Yes , they know how to run pokie machines because they have thousands of willing people in their catchment to throw their money away, it must be easy to open a machine and take the money out. They don't know how to run a football club though.
Now the independents who were brought in to stabilise the issues are sacked. IDIOTS!
There will always be an us and them when you have split destinations for home grounds, two different jerseys, no joint reserve grade and so on.
It was reveiled last week that when the supporters were shouting tigers tigers tigers at a CS game, a corporate box full of board members were shouting magpies magpies magpies.
The joint venture at the beginning was made that the club be named Wests to satisfy those Magpie supporters and the Logo be Tigers.
We have a Magpie on our merch. So it could be called The Balmain Western Suburbs Tiger Magpies....trying chanting that.
At the time when the joint venture started the tigers were a stronger club than the maggies and more marketable. The Balmain Leagues Club burnt down and the area became less of an entertainment precinct.
No income meant increased debt.
Both clubs knew what they were getting themselves into and now the board are talking about bringing back the Magpies.
The NRL have to take over the Wests Tigers and deregister the the HBG until someone buys it. Probably Landy

Melbourne are in a non NRL state and are opposed by a lot of Aussie Rules supporters but it has worked. Do you hear constant crap about that club.
On the other hand, St George Illawarra's marriage semed to have worked too, why's that
@RedVee ?
Why doesn't Burgess and the HBG stop meddling with the very two that got this club out of the gutter, our CEO and ex chairmain.
Where's the proof that these sacked board members had been warned about the lack of communication, especially the jersey.... don't the board have to sign off on important decisions like the new seasons jerseys?
Come next week, our CEO will resign because his good mate ex chairman has been sacked and Richo has clauses in his contract, so has Bula and our captain. They go and Benji might go too.
I am regretting renewing my membership now.
