Just received this back from Minister of sport!
May the FORCE be with you!
what a great non political response!
I don't know what is going on here.
Of the 6 tests listed, tickets can only be purchased for the 3 tests in June (Fiji, Scotland and Italy).
If I try to purchase tickets for either of the Bledisloes or for the test against Argentina in Canberra (the Rugby Championship tests), then I get a message saying "Not valid at this time (Available from Tue 27 Jun 2017 10:00AM AEDT)".
The test against the Bokke on 9 September at nib is not listed.
Says nothing new. But it's encouraging to see ministers acknowledge the valuable space our team, admin and supporters fill in the WA of 2017 and onwards.

If I'm such a valued Super Rugby member why did you agree to an "alliance" with my team only to use that to TRY to shut us down.
I sure hope you are as successful with that as you seem to have been with just about everything else you have tried to do during your tenure. Because I'd hate to be driven to turn my back on Rugby due to your incompetance.

I will not be making any Wallaby purchase until the ARU have confirmed that the Western Force remain in the Super Rugby tournament. Furthermore if the ARU push on with their flawed decision to cut the Force I will cut my Foxtel subscription and never support Australian rugby in the future.
Best regards,
Good point Hubbs. Didn't think to mention cancelling Fox. It will be a little inconvenient because I watch quite a few other sports. But I'll do it and get an NRL pass. Have to investigate what other digital sports can be streamed.

get a streaming service like Fetch TV it has Setanta with Top14 and Heineken Cup AFAIK... will be the biggest FU to SANZAAR, ARU and Foxtel
EDIT: sorry it looks like Setanta has been turfed by BeIn Sports Channel which have 6 Nations and All international tests, Guinness Cup and a few other comps.
Need some advice from those in the know who may or may not sit in a room where RugbyWA holds meetings.
Will not purchasing tickets to the Wallabies in September hurt/hinder the current situation being played out with let's call them discussions with the ARU. I would hate for the bad ticket sales to become an arrow in the quiver that could hurt the case to keep our team in the competition.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
If this isn't sorted out before rc tickets go on sale, the ARU have got more to worry about than whether to cut the force.
I won't be buying any tickets until after I know the force are safe, simply on principle.
C'mon the
