IS IT TIME FOR PRIVATISATION

[Yossarian]

I think the opposite. I think we need to move to a genuine membership-based club where paying supporters have a genuine say.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

is there any indication of a timeline for said implementations?

I would hope soon. It is definitely something we need to keep an eye on but my understanding is that it is progressing.

30,000 opinions on everything. No thanks.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

You are both correct.... if you pay membership... you should have a say... and donate the pencil, scarf and that thing you put around your neck to the less privelaged off the world....

I would much prefer highly qualified directors appointed in a professional manner than a member voted board.

His meat was natural. He served the community.... he served others... how much money does a butcher make at the street end of Lidcombe??.

Do his skill’s transfer to the boardroom is the question. You could argue a meat cleaver might help in RL.

I cant answer that brother, but, he has skills in business and on the field....

Small business. That’s our past hopefully.

I Have followed Balmain since the early 50s I remember players like Bobby Lulham Joe Jorgensen Billy Marsh and so on
In my opinion the merger under it's present ADMINISTRATION outside of 2005 has not and is not working.
I believe it is time for Wests Ashfield to put the licence up tender to a private consortium or company ala Broncos
This just my thoughts which I am putting out their for sensible debate and not for a ( Balmain / West ) one
Thank you

You’re right Mando. HBG, West Ashfield and Balmain are never going to pull it together in its current form.
I predict the losses will continue to bite into their cushy lifestyle and force a sale.

No, the members elect a board. Most clubs have historically operated under that model.

Do we?

 

[Yossarian]

Do we?

Wests Tigers, no. Balmain and Magpies, yes.
