The media articles about axing the Force talk about what will happen to
- the ARU (becomes financially sustainable),
- the quality of rugby played by the Super Rugby teams,
- the future performance of the Wallabies,
- the Rugby Heartland (NSW and QLD),
- the other 4 Australian Super Rugby teams (e.g. making them stronger by distributing some of the current Force playing list between them) and
- the present Western Force players (on to CentreLink benefits, mostly).
But what about us, the members who have stuck with the Force through thick and thin (mostly thin) for the past 12 years?
I've not read anything about what will happen to the existing Force membership and supporter base if/when the Force is killed off.
If the Force gets obliterated, then is there a quid pro quo planned for the current membership of the Western Force or is the finger all that we can expect to get from the ARU and their parochial masters in the NSWRU?
