2009 Membership

Re: 2009 Membership

It's extremely annoying.

We've never been in a better position both on and off the field.

Why wouldn't you become a member?

I understand some people are under financial pressures, but the club has that monthly system which works out to be very affordable.

They now have a weekly payment system.

Re: 2009 Membership

I think it is time to throw some real scare tatics out there. Many Bulldog supporters don't realise how important buying a membership is a lot of people still think that turning up and buying a ticket helps. I'm really only judging that on my own personal experience with supporters at games and who I know but it is the only explanation I can find why people don't buy one. I've never been a fan of the hard sell but after this seasons totals, which to be honest is really disappointing, I think it maybe needed. Get on the phone to these people, ask them why they haven't resigned, explain how vital the membership is to the club, basiclly make them buy one!

IMO it's not a good thing that our small membership base has got to pick up the slack for other people. I'm happy to do it, I don't think there is another thing in this world that I'd rather throw my money at (Don't tell my wife that) but I don't think it is something the club can rely on long term. There just seems to be no growth despite our recent success and to me that is scary!

Taking this the other way around, perhaps people now percieve us to be safe and where they once bought a membership even though they could barely afford it or used it, now don't feel they need to anymore.

Re: 2009 Membership

So called supporters are a disgrace

Supporters aren't a disgrace they are the ones with membership, our followers are the problem.

Could argue ''55 after winning flag and having most members in the VFL.
And never built on to become a powerhouse.

Current figure posted on WB site:

Full members - 28,216

This is disappointing.

Re: 2009 Membership

I lost my membership card. $11 to bloody print a new one! What a rip off. Surely it doesn't cost that much for them to process a new one. The girl said it will be posted tomorrow and I bet I don't receive it by Friday in time for the game!

Re: 2009 Membership

LOL. It's only $11 come on :P

Great idea about playing away games @ Whitten Oval. I've got Fox Sports, but even then I would go out to the ground to watch it there with mates for a beer and a few snacks (or a snack and a few beers more like it )

And I got 4 of my mates who have never been members before to sign up for Gold Membership with me this year! Now to just get them all on Social Club...

Well done!

Re: 2009 Membership

It's a shame that we struggle to keep our members signing up. The ones that I have talked to over the years that have failed to renew their memberships mainly give the impression of being lazy than really being a financial constraint for them.

If you haven't received the card by Friday make sure you ring and notify the club. In the past when I did the same thing the club left me a ticket at one of the gates so that I could gain entry to the ground.
