    Save The Force - It's on.

    Under-threat Force offers shares to fans

    Western Force has urged West Australians to set aside code loyalties and get behind the embattled Super Rugby club’s ambitious new fan ownership scheme.
    Applications for shares in Western Force Owners Ltd open today, with the public company offering fans a rare opportunity to own a sports franchise while also shoring up the Force’s financial future.

    Might not be the most popular mindset. But I'm debating whether to comit to this. Or to hold off and see if/when sanzaar or the ARU are going to take a position or make a decision.

    Putting the cards on the table. If Kel & I are in, we're in for multiple shares. So it's a significant decision.

    Signup up and paid this morning one for me and one for the missus. I was thinking along the same lines around waiting for a couple of those meeting however I also thought how good it would be for the Force owners to say they already have x amount of paid subscribers in the media and make the ARUs life even worse then it is at the moment.

    Same!

    And having seen the following in Georgina Robinson's latest column today, I'm inclined to buy another share:

    "....the sport faces protracted ugliness through the process to decide which franchise will be sacrificed here. The real worry is that not one of the three in the firing line is making noises that indicate it could be willing to take one for the team. Instead the Force, the Brumbies and the Rebels are readying for a fight."

    "willing to take one for the team" WTAF???!!

    What have the Brumbies done besides say 'oh, history, can't cut us'?

    Which franchise in their right mind would be willing to take one for the team and effectively kill the sport in their area for a decade or so?

    Georgina Robinson might as well have "Waratahs Media Unit" instead of her name in the byline.

    Just bizzare that Robinson or the ARU would believe that a super rugby team would agree to be culled.

    Interesting the comments from both Dwyer and robinson re pulver and the NSWRU. If he does not have their support then his goose is cooked. NSWRU Just can't think beyond the shute shield. Still desperately clinging to a yesterday that no longer exists.
