Re: Important development re Brookvale Oval - PLEASE READ & Pass on
Ah Matabele…fast becoming the forum version of the Daily Telegraph….people read but don’t believe a word of it…political barrow to push, strong on sensationalism but with little substance…
Rather than a “Manly Warringah Travelling Supportah†we should get him a T shirt that says “Manly Warringah Non-Travelling Reportahâ€�
Set the hook Mata because that’s not a nibble that is a full on chomp?
Re the funding..(Best to check facts before “dissing†the club patron and tireless worker for the cause?) the $6 mill from Mr Iemma is currently under the tender loving care of the Warringah council and earning interest even as we speak as is the $4 mill promised by Dick Persson…Yes we have it, no it is not a “might†or maybe it is done agreed and received.
You have good lines of communication with the Penn family so make the call and check?
Thank you Kerry Sibraa and the rest of the team in getting blood from stones…
You are true Manly legends and are owed so much by the rank and file fans
How and when it will be spent? Stay tuned
Re the Football Club and why it is administered separately…here’s why…
When the Screaming Eagles membership was devised by the Sea Eagles it was decided by them to separate the FC aspect of membership and there was little or no promotion of it (Separate entities remember?) – It was simply listed as a “tick box†on the Screaming Eagles application form.
As a result there was some confusion (cases where people thought they were FC members when they weren’t etc.) and due to the fact that many didn’t really know what it was or how important membership numbers dropped (as it was now an opt in for another $25 rather than included as part of the package)
The membership department at the Sea Eagles didn’t have the time or resources to administer or promote FC membership so it was brought in house (the Leagues Club) to use their administrative back office.
As mentioned, lack of promotion, lack of understanding and of course the issues at the start of the year all had influence on FC membership and it has dropped to alarmingly low numbers which is why I have put up my hand to help change that.
There will be many on here that have fired up in the past and have continued to do so re a permanent (or even 2 games) move to Gosford or away from Brookie so back on thread…3 councillors are pushing to negotiate a deal with the club that will leave the owners no choice but to move – FACT
That is what this thread is about!!
By all mean have an opinion, by all means feel free to voice then but A.D.D rants and YARTS that side track the seriousness of the situation are not helping…I really don’t want to do a Matabele (I told you so!) when it is too late and Cr Kirsch and her allies have succeeded in kicking us out of Brookie
Get on board people?
