Hoping this can keep up pace again next season. Would love to reach 50,000 WB members one day. I'll be planning to renew again soon.
There is some excitement back I reckon with our team.

I'll get my usual 2 * social club GA, VFL and AFLW + 1 kids ticket.
Extra dollars from my family will come from attendance to BnF and Inside the Kennel nights.
I filled out the recent survey. Feedback included:
Adjust the Ballarat pricing structure and communication
Get a Marching band and drop the audio over the pa
Be a little obnoxious to the footy world.
Will be good to catch up again in 2019 at Bulldog home games with everyone around me in my area. Haven't since Round 16, 2018 seems a long time now.
Renewed mine and my son’s today. I’m one year shy of my 25 badge.
I’ll be there every week in Melbourne with my dad. Might try and buy the Charles Sutton upgrade if there are any available now.
Bulldog for life, pay monthly, so easy
Home game , social and VFL ( including hoodie) member here also BFL monthly.
So easy costing me $48 a month for 10 months.
Renewed for 2019 today. Home Silver Reserve/Social Club membership Level 1 Aisle 34.
Go Dogs!
I've done my part to help add another member - I'll be signing up an additional Baby Bulldog in 2019. :cool:
Little dude was due on Grand Final day, but decided to come a week early so his daddy could watch his Weagles in the comfort of his own home.
So that makes one H&A + Social Club, one Puppy Pack, one Baby Bulldog and a pet membership.
Great initiative but I wonder if members who have already surpassed various milestone years still get the benefits or do they have to wait until they hit the next milestone?

Gee, only fifteen years to go before I'm eligible for my $20 voucher from the Bulldog shop! Can't wait!
I still have a way to go. 1 and 5 years milestones I've done my next one is 10 years. This is my 7th year as a Western Bulldogs member and I've been a supporter close to 20 years now since my early teenage years.
Could be a bit more generous in the Bulldogs Shop - a dollar for every year Member?
Good initiative, well overdue, but sadly lacking in incentive to remain loyal.
If I decide to drop my membership for a year there isn't lot at stake.
I think I will survive without my $20 shop discount and my $100 social club upgrade, which I gladly pay for each year anyway.
Not sure I can wait 50 years for that.
It should be a point system. The more years you are a member the more points you accumulate and you can choose to spend them anytime on different offerings from the club. ie 500 points for membership upgrade etc.
Or you could choose to purchase a gift card to the shop, or donate back to the club.
Need to be a little more creative I think.
Downgraded the membership this year. The away pass was pointless considering we give away 2 games to Ballarat and we get those as replacment games. It finally wore me down so I removed it. The 2 people beside me have thrown in the towel after 3 years so my son now takes one of their seats and I don't have to move from my great seats to get him a reserved membership.
You can be a member for 50 years and only get a $20 gift voucher, the same as a 30 year member??? Bahahahaha.
Is it a $20 voucher a year, for every year after 25 years?
Or a once off $20 voucher? (I.e. 80 cents a year, for every year of continuous membership?)
The club will still get my hard earned no matter what. But if this 'loyalty program' is a tweak of what we have and 80cents a year towards a voucher, it's pretty insulting (1.5 cents for every week of membership a year - fun fact - were not did hards and going to stay loyal for this 1.5 cents a week that will accumulate after 25 years). And why does a 10 year member get a patch, but 15 & 25 year members don't, but then 30+ year members do? Are we not professional enough to offer it to everyone, or are we not professional to check the graphic before sending it?
I'm torn between saying 'at least we are trying something' versus 'this is substantially suboptimal and we should try a lot harder'.
I believe we get a Bulldogs members scarf again for 2019?
I selected the cap this time round.
I don't care about monetary rewards. A patch to sew on a scarf would be fine for me. Any cost for the rewards program means less money for more important stuff - for example winning premiership. The best reward is winning games. Go Dogs!
Nothing for 20 years is a bit strange
It's a first crack at it and it's commensurate with other loyalty programs as far as I'm aware. I'm a long term Victory member and it's not much different. I think more of the game day experiences as a one off, like being in the rooms, or standing in the guard when the players run out would maybe be more attractive. The lap of honour I don't think works. Good on the club for trying something. Just as an aside my mum is 50+ years and in her 80's. She may be the only living member that's seen two premierships live ! She was at both 54 and 2016. Was a great thrill sharing 2016 with her.
What a proud doggy family supporter history you have Grantysghost. Hope you have oodles of photos with your Mum on 1/10/16. Here’s hoping there’s a few more premierships in the offing you can share with your Mum.
Very much agree that shared events and memories are more valuable than memorabilia or money.
P.S. I too am a long term victory member. Keeps me kind of sane in off-season, especially when they do well which seems to be every other year. It is kind of funny to know a number of Victory fans follow many different afl clubs, so friends in summer and foes in winter.
Called the club up yesterday to confirm my membership for 2019 was paid so all good there. They said mine should come by mid December so before Christmas.
I was going to give up my Social Club membership this year as I could no longer afford it and hardly used it. But yippee looks like the club is giving a free Social Club membership upgrade for 50+ year members.
Fantastic JC.
Can't wait to see the people that sit around me again soon. Is anybody going to the AGM next week?
Alright, so confession to make. I've never held a Bulldogs membership, and as much as I've been a supporter from as early as I can remember, and have gone to as many games as I can, i've never been in a proper financial position to buy a membership.
That has changed.
For a first timer who's looking to make as many home games as possible and wants to be in the middle of the bulldogs fanatics, what membership would you guys recommend?
This will help you Vred
