So, where to from here?

A few opening round Premier Division fixtures been "leaked" on Facebook & Twitter:
Wests v Campbelltown at Picken
UTS v UNSW-ES at Waverley
St George v Manly at Olds

I should clarify, we'd be lucky to get 12 to ours as well!

Your club should combine the next AGM with the wedding that you are having. You could turn on a banquet, bit of a dance, nuptials, chance for a laugh.....all you need to do is make sure that 12 of the wedding guests are paid-up members of the club too.
Get the club to fast-track the renno's to the clubrooms and, voila,.....there's your venue !

Simply the time of the year gents. The club had many responses asking for a new date due to other commitments which the club listened to and in its wisdom changed the date. You can now all breathe a little easier.

Sounds fair enough to me.

Free unsolicited advice, take it or leave it - for pities sake -"potential new Board", "administrators", "solicitors" etc - abandon the current "club" as your main footy club entity, agree with the AFL that it should be de-registered then thats that - with all its governance and other issues, the comp or players don't need all the headaches and uncertainty of what seems to be now too much baggage. Start a new "club" and call yourselves Balmain Tigers and appropriate all you can from the "current club" over time as that mess sorts itself out. In the meantime rebuild from the ground up with quality people - see other posts on here about starting up in a lower division and building over time. The message that a refreshed Balmain was re-commencing in 2014 somewhere in their traditional community would be a better, more certain one to be out there.

Nostradamus is in the room !

I'm surprised Saviour01 hasn't mentioned it on here, that apparently Mudge is off to Wests and taking some cattle with him?

But Pekay is not Nostradamus !

Oh well.....there goes your invitation to the wedding/AGM

[Norris Lurker]

A brief time-out from the rumours and innuendo to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the break; and here's hoping the new year brings some great footy to us all.

And a merry Christmas and happy new year to you Norris. Thanks for keeping us all on track.
Dunno about all the rumours and innuendo but....I just assumed that it was all facts and truths !

Savious hates travelling out this way, he won't get a nod. And, he thinks we're thugs on the paddock, imagine what we'd be like on the sauce.

Last time I was out there one of the players tried to punch on with a dad on the sideline, think his name was rhino. Would have been a while ago now.

[Pekay]

They'd have been those two old blokes that decided to follow Ryno off the field and abuse him while he was away from the playing group. I was the bloke upstairs that took exception to it and stepped in to back Ryno up. They backed off pretty quick, weak pricks they were.

[Pekay]

And they were half full of piss.

Ummm if this is the incident I am thinking of (3 or so years ago and I was on the field at the time so am only going off hear-say after the game), these "dads" on the sideline were sober and did nothing to provoke the incident. As for them being weak? Well I'll just say this, one of them is a Black Belt and has actually punched out a horse so you're lucky he has self control and did not inflame the situation.

Holy God, we are 7 days into the new year and that's easily the Post of the Year. Stop watching Mel Brooks movies.

Hang on, I'm getting confused...how come a horse was doing karate on Pekay's footy oval anyway ? Hasn't the Hawkesbury Council put up a sign banning horses from the playing arena ?
And how come Pekay stepped in to protect Rhino, but left the horse to fend for itself ? I think your a bit of a wooss yourself Pekay.

I lost money on the horse, probably. Happens a fair bit
