Mindless Chatter

Majority of that crowd was The Western Force Members. I for one live off a modest wage. Me and my wife both work full time and have 2 children. To put it simply it just isn't affordable for me to attend matches. If you want a reserved seat on the side of the pitch your looking at over $55 per seat.

Not to mention RugbyWA only supplying 1 x Child ticket if your kid's team is lucky enough to be elected to play in the halftime games
who do they think pay the subs, the 8 year old.

That's true Munis, but people will put their hands into their pockets if the product is good enough.

The product isn't good at the moment, and I know several "rusted on" supporters are considering the angle grinder.

It's hard to work out how important the membership fees are to Rugby WA; the statement of revenues in the 2014 annual report is not clear on the sources of some of the revenue.
In 2014, memberships contributed $2.1M out of total revenue of $16.2M (sponsorships were $3.4M, corporate hospitality $2.8M and $1.6M from "Super Rugby", whatever that is - all rounded to the nearest $100K). I suppose that while Rugby WA continues to book large deficits each year, a reduction in revenue from any source is significant to them.

The last paragraph of note 1(a) ("Cash Management") to the 2014 accounts and the auditor's comment about that note in its report (the paragraph headed "Emphasis of Matter") are of concern.

Whilst NRL games are once off's at the moment it's a matter of when not if in regards to a permanent NRL side here in Perthand GIGS is right, everyone loves a winner.

Talking about the Mungos, Jargs......

Talking about the Mungos, Jargs......

Yes, OK there was an undercurrent of even when they're winning they're still losers in my mind.

Does that make you more comfortable?

He's just waffling on about the Gerard Sutton's man of the match performance yesterday.

[GIGS20]

OoooooKaaaaaay,

I'll pretend I know what you're talking about shall I?

[jargan83]

Sure, it's a free country...

FFS!! If only some of the tin hat brigade could decipher that, considering the amount of urine you've extracted from them this season.

Don't feed the troll, Jargs.

How about the eels giving up a 30-6 lead to lose 36-30....comforting for Force fans....at least we never lead when we lose

[shasta]

.........at least we never lead when we lose

Now that's what I call taking a negative out of a..........nother negative.

Are you forgetting that in 2013, if the matches ended at 70 minutes we'd have been in the fight for the top 6, instead of 13th. IIRC, we lost four wins and missed out on some losing bonus points.
