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.
These things work both ways Disco!

You don't allow people freedom of speech on your web site, so it is a bit rich to demand
it on another.

This forum allows the views of a select group only (magpies supporters). The Wests Tigers
forum is essentially a Balmain forum, because Wests Tigers is a reincarnation of Balmain.
It is the same thing.

LoopyMagpie, this has been something that has been developing over a long period of time. There would have been a time when both sides would have been more tolerant of each other views, but feel we are beyond this now. I do however understand your comment and it does have some merit.

I disagree LoopyMagpie. Wests Tigers is not a reincarnation of Balmain as much as Balmain believe it is. I cheer WESTS at every game. Wests Tigers is a joint venture between WESTS MAGPIES & Balmain ... just ask CEO Humphreys. As such, Wests Tigers forum should be fair to both sides.

oh and wests tigers are not balmain, even though some balmain fans are stupid and delusional enough to think so :)
on the premierships tally wests tigers only have 1. balmain will be stuck on 11 forever :)
eventually even clubs like the cowboys, sharks, pirates etc will overtake balmain

Yes but who has set the precedent ? if its a wests tigers forum then it should truly represent the views & opinions of all regardless of what side of the fence they are on, this is a magpies supporters forum that has local, nrl & wests tigers threads, last time I looked there wasn't a dedicated balmain thread.

There's no such thing as a WT member OneEyed-only season ticket holders. The members are members of Western Suburbs and Balmain.

This is true the_pollie. I am only a season ticket holder for the Wests Tigers. Still, it should still give me the right to say what I feel on the Wests Tigers forum.
