The Advertiser devotes massive airtime in the back to WT. If the 'tiser is getting sh!tty, then WT have succeeded in pissing off a great supporter (What a surprise...).

I note, too, that Pigshead is bagging the 'tiser. Someone didn't do PR 101...

The only bagging that should be done is the bagging of his head!

So do we know who the people are that are in charge of the WT forum?

Dont know them personally or their real identities. They run comprehensive forum but all admnistrators are very much Balmain aligned and are not supportive of Wests Magpies survival, issues affecting wests magpies and have very little sympathy for magpie diehards. As the WT brand and BRET brand are often undistinguished, there is also no Balmain Tigers forum. Wests Magpies forum is seen as 'resistive' to WT.

I often see this with fans aligned to the magpies often labelled " whingers " for highlighting equality, fairness & recognition when it comes to the joint venture. We saw again with a thread like this started on the WT forum only to be pulled. At least this forum can give a chance for magpie supporters to view their concerns without the Smartass comments.

So what was their reason for deleting the article?

Not sure, was hardly deemed offensive.

OneEyed, every time we raise hell over the team only being called the tigers, we get told to move on.

Now, we're being told that we're very much a part of the club and that Humphreys is so worried and how all this effort is going into Wests.

Well, should we move on or should we keep kicking?

After all, WT weren't too impressed with the protest earlier this year-god forbid we should actually want something!

Either we were right to whinge, or WT are just trying to placate us.

Regardless, we need to know whether Wests is actually part of their long term planning, or whether we are just being used as a cash cow until Balmain find a way to get money in again.

Well said the_pollie! I reckon if the financial positions were reversed the joint venture would already be dead and there would be the balmain tigers in the nrl.

That would've happened years ago if the positions were reversed.

What gets me is that as the Balmain position has become worse, their dominance at Concord has become greater. If that's what sh!house financial management and moral bankruptcy gets you, then let's appoint Rodney Adler was Western Suburbs CEO!

I think its because Balmain Football Club is now based at Concord!
