How will you treat the Wallaby v Springbok Test at nib?
Burgs two things
If the judge rules in RugbyWA's favour I will get a ticket and go still wearing blue. If the decision goes the other way I will be outside the stadium wearing blue.
Have you seen the video from Meakes and Coleman asking us supporters to go wearing blue. https://youtu.be/pQOn7LtKfHk
There needs to be an option " I'm not watching or attending because I refuse to support the current ARU in any way. The Force players already know we are behind them 100% "
If common sense prevails in the mean time I will be there in gold cheering my lungs out.
If "the hammer" forces the ARU to do the right thing, what will you do?
Need another option
Going to Test in Blue
Ticket sales must be dire. I just went onto Ticketmaster with a request for a block of ten (the maximum allowed online) and there are 47 blocks of ten available. Two weeks out from an international test and 47 instances of 10 seats in a row available!
I was not buying tickets just wanted to see how bad things are.
EDIT: It is really only one week out
I will hopefully like 30,000 others in a fortnight at NIB , Wearing Blue and watching the Wallabies pump the Springboks
We still support the National side, which our players now and future be part of , but still send a message to the ARU
Need another option:
Be going to the Test in Blue (with blue & black war paint) to chant FUARU and make as much noise as possible...
I still won't go.
The only way I would be attending is if somehow the ARU came to it's senses and canned the idea of cutting an Australian side But that's not going to happen.
Why should I reward the ARU financially for putting the entire Rugby community in WA through what it has endured this year? As Shasta has said on a couple of occasions now, the Western Force players know they have our support.
Has a protest for outside been arranged? I'm not on the socials these days so wouldn't have a clue.
Good, I was thinking that I might be alone in that opinion.
I will however be at the Spirit match on Sunday, personally think it would send a better message to the ARU for more people to turn out and watch the Spirit than turn out to watch the Wallatahs.
You you think we can get 5000 to the hill?
Im there 17th Sep and 21st Oct. it will be good to fill the hill at all games
I'm still undecided I can see both points of view. Hoping for a good outcome next week!
I'm out until the Force are in :approve:
The ARU are the custodians of the game here in Australia, they are supposed to promote the game, grow the game.
Instead they have stabbed one of their own Unions in the back. Sold out to allow the Sunwolves to compete in the Australian conference. In fact in recent weeks it has begun to look like they have actively sought out ways to shaft the Rugby population of WA.
Just because a court is potentially going to tell the ARU to act in the best interests of the game doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly think they're awesome. The ARU is banking on the anger over here eventually subsiding.
This saga is a stain on the game that will last for decades to come that could have been avoided had the ARU used it's veto power to act in the interests of all of Australia Rugby. Not just the established club scene in Sydney and Brisbane who in my opinion for a set up that has been around for over 100 years has very little right to continue to cry poor.
I was going to say I will never go to a Wallabies Test, but who knows, my anger may subside in the coming years. Not bloody likely at the moment though.
well said Jargs.
I'm hoping that i'll be a bit less pissed off come 2035 for the Lions series. Whether the Force get reinstated or not, at this point in time i can't see myself going to another wallabies game before then unless we play the USA over here, and if that happens i'll be wearing a USA jersey anyway.
Adam Coleman and Meeksey have gone on FB requesting we wear Blue to the game..our Force boys need our support and to see a Sea of Blue would be awesome.. In my very humble opinion I think it will show the world (or whoever is watching the game) that we are not to underestimated in our fight!! .
I'm not so sure about that. Two mates are flying from CT for the test and asked me yesterday to get them 2 tickets. I couldn't get two side by side seats in a Platinum block yesterday and had to settle for 2 Gold seats instead.
It looks like a lot of SAs are coming to this test. Besides the 2 from the Cape, there's a bunch of people who I work with heading this way next week (they bought their tickets in RSA), including half the mine planning departments from a couple of coal mines in Witbank (oops, sorry - that should be "Emalahleni" :confused:).
I think I'm with Hansie on this one.
While I don't want to financially help the ARU, I do want to show those Sydney centric snobs in St Leonards that they cannot and will not kill off the sport of rugby union in Western Australia, in spite of their obfuscations, distortions, half-truths and complete lack of common decency towards the government and people of Western Australia. So I hope that I see a sell-out crowd at nib, wearing either blue or green, with not a single yellow beanie or scarf to be seen anywhere.
