While I can see where RugbyWA is coming from with this plan it is sad that they have to pander to the 'entitled' masses who sit back and need to be spoon fed information on 'their' team so they can decide if they will still go along and support them next year. Especially considering this news has already been in the public domain for so long already (to those with the wherewithal to seek it out).
These same people probably won't sign back up until they see us start to move up the ladder and will jump back on board and bleat how they were a 'foundation member'...
You lose the foundation member status the instant you don't renew IMHO
I agree with GIGS but I think Darth was implying that anyway
Scumbag bandwagon supporters who will jump back on board once the team starts to see some success
"pond of algae" instead of "sea of blue"?
To be honest, I don't have an issue with the scumbag bandwagon supporters who jumped ship, but want to hop back on board. Its not like The Force offered them much incentive to stay the last three or four years with the dross that has been served up and with the internal shenanigans, its amazing we have ANY supporters left after the past two years. Even I was really considering giving it away if they had screwed the pooch this time.
We foundation members should not create a them and us culture or we will be just as bad as the eastern states. Lets be inclusive. If the Force gets their act together, starts playing attractive attacking rugby again like the first three or four years, and starts winning as well because we now have some depth of experience in all departments, the sea of blue both new and old will have something to be proud of.
As the Force are saying, "RELAUNCH"
(not saying that foundation members shouldn't be proud of supporting the boys through thick and thin)
I agree, maybe i came across a bit wrong with my message, all the support we can get is better for the team and rugby in WA.
Old, new, previous members coming back, it's all good money for the team and we'll need that if we are to survive and thrive.
I do like the fact that I've sat through every home game (except for one... don't ask...) a couple of away games, and all the losses, draws and getting soaked to the bone last season in that unbelievably wet game where I sat in two inches of water from kick off to final siren (for a loss), because it's going to make the victories all the more sweeter when they start to come more regularly, and in the postseason!
I guess its all in your definition of how you have shown your support.
For the last couple of years due to financial constraints I have not been able to keep my Supporters Membership on going. But I invite anyone to go thru my posts here on TWF over that same period of time to question my loyalty and where my heart belongs.
Were you exiled for a reason?
I am Western Australian born and bred
At 20 I joined the Royal Australian Air Force.
Left the Air Force at 32. Married with a child.
Got Divorced.
Stay in Sydney to be close to my Daughter. I spend every weekend with my daughter
So Exiled by choice. But its a pretty good choice.
Good work Exile.
You don't have spare rooms at your place for Hansie, BDG, Dinky Di, Rex & Co do you? A few years in Sydney might calm them down.
wouldn't think so.Exile has seen me in action!
