Should I become a WT member again?

As much as I sling (deserved) mud at the club, I haven't lapsed my membership yet and probably never will. I find it hard to get to as many games these days for various reasons, but I just feel like I have to navigate the down times to properly enjoy the up times (should they ever eventuate). 

By the same token, I absolutely don't begrudge anyone giving up. I have had plenty of friends and family do the same, and it's essentially what the club deserves. 

I feel pretty similar.

I’m leaving Sydney (tomorrow lol) so won’t be renewing as a ticketed member but will do out of town membership. Will miss attending home games heaps - especially due to the friendships formed over the past couple of years. I’ll stay involved with the Ambush somehow. 
Im so frustrated with our lack of success but like anything in life, support is most needed when you’re down. So my support will continue at some level

I’ll miss seeing you at the events. Hope the future is bright for you.

I was looking up membership packages and even considering a pet membership for my dog as a joke (because that's what they are, unless I can bring him to the games) but as I was watching a certain Rugby League show on the TV, they show Api bagging the club. Why? Why is he joking about a Tigers premiership? Why is he carrying on like that? Why am I bothering to buy a couple of memberships? Is he another player coming here for a pay check and nothing else? I'll hold off for a while on the memberships and see where this goes first.

I guess the club isn’t responsible for the Api thing, but they are responsible for the ongoing lack of performance/achievement.

The club might not be responsible for the Api thing but they are responsible for what they do about his poor comments. I've heard that the club has dealt with it "behind closed doors". Does that mean they've done f*** all again? Why the secrecy? Put it out in the open what was said to him and his reply.

I don’t get all the angst against Api. I thought is was pretty funny. Maybe it’s too close to the truth for some and they can’t handle the truth.

IMO the club needs to mocked as often as possible until the message gets through that those running the club are just not up to job.

Im exactly the same. Even forgetting the fact that the bloke has drunk 1000 beers and hasnt slept for two days after getting bashed for 80 mins, I still thought it was pretty tame and based in fact.

In fact, unless Ive missed some part of the video, the bit that Api says is actually positive (ignoring the obvious sarcasm) where he shows the rings and says "Ill probably do the same at the Tigers". It is someone else who says you wont get them at the Tigers.

I only get one of the cheaper ones ($120 I think) because I can't get to many games, I want to be a member when we are at the bottom and when we are at the top. Mostly, I think that the last thing this club needs is to be at the bottom of the membership number list. 

In the same boat and agree on all counts!!

Better to let it disappear. It's a non-story anyway, why give it legs by making new statements about it?

I understand why you did let it lapse... I did the same for 20221 but was back this season, figured it's in my blood may as well show it as well.

I'm out of Sydney so I'm non-ticketed though, so not the $$ outlay as the ticketed members.

I’m in Sydney but if I renew it will be non-ticketed. I find it too hard to commit to going to a lot of the games, especially when they’re spread out over multiple venues.

I let my membership lapse this year for first time in 11 years. I just felt so disheartened by last year and need to recharge my enthusiasm. I suppose after all the 'rebuilds' of the past I want to see a bit of proof. Don't feel like a fair weather fan (I won't support any other team) but the last couple of years have wrecked me. But I'll be back. Credit to those of you that stick with it!

For the record, I sent through to Wests Tigers a membership enquiry, haven’t heard anything back.
