I’m still completely pissed off with how our club is treating its loyal Auckland-based members, the ones who’ve been there through the worst seasons, kept turning up, kept renewing, and kept believing. We now have only:
Just 9 home games
No ANZAC Day game
And absolutely nothing meaningful in return for years of loyalty.
The club seems to have forgotten the people who carried them through the hard years: the loyal, long-term members.
Those who year after year, rain or shine, win or lose. The ones who kept renewing their memberships when we were struggling.
I still remember the last game of the 2016 season at Mt Smart.
We were up against Parramatta. It was wet, cold, Sunday evening and the season was already a write-off.
But we were there the loyal ones.
Just about 7,000 of us, soaked in the stands, still turning up when the club had nothing to give back but disappointment.
We didn’t show up because the team was winning.
We showed up because the club meant something to us.
I’ve spoken to members who’ve been with the club for over 20 years and they’re gutted.
It feels like the club has chosen hype over heart and those who’ve earned the right to be heard are being completely ignored
Its now all about the corporates, and the bandwagon members who only showed up when the wins started coming.
The Warriors need to wake up. The foundation of this club isn’t built on shiny sponsors or fair-weather fans it’s built on loyalty, sweat, and decades of belief.
Come on Cameron George look after your loyal members.
