Re: 2010 memberships

Another very good rise posted on the website:

Gameday 19844
Total 21337

Feature has been the steep rise in Social club memberships now at 9,000 plus. These will be capped at 10,000, so if you want to see the Doggies in the grand final would recommend an early upgrade to ensure a seat at the big one.

Re: 2010 memberships

Reading the AFL membership letter it appears the AFL membership confirmations are sent to the corresponding clubs on Feb 1, so you can expect another sharp increase in early Feb too I would think.

Re: 2010 memberships

A few years back we struggled to get 20,00 members full stop.

It's great that still 6 or 7 weeks out from rd 1 we are already well over that mark, great signs.

Re: 2010 memberships

Got another call today from the club asking if I was interested in a ticket in the big raffle they do... at the not-so-modest sum of 200 smackers... after politely informing the lovely lady I wasn't in a position to pay that, she "helpfully" reminded me the draw went until April. I once again politely declined.

I strongly object to the club's pushy marketing efforts for this "incredible" raffle (her words!), considering a) the current economic climate'
b) my current valid membership, and my willingness to part with my hard-earned in order to support the club in this way (including Social Club)

Technically speaking, I do have the required funds to purchase a ticket for the "incredible" raffle draw, but once I have declined, I'm not changing my mind. I don't appreciate the reminder that it goes until April, and "maybe you might be in a position to afford it then". I said no, that should be the end of it. To me, this sort of badgering, to someone who's already making a financial contribution to the club's coffers, isn't good PR. And to close the phone call with "Oh well, thanks for your membership, that's the main thing" almost seems like I'm being made to feel guilty that I haven't coughed up more. Poor form, IMHO...

(And, yes, I've had a bad day! )

Re: 2010 memberships

Andrew I agree with you. Don't like being solicited to buy anything over the phone by people I don't know. Even the Western Bulldogs make me cross when they do it. I know they are trying to fund raise but it's the pressure type of fund raising which gets my hackles up.

Sam Reid has agreed to become an ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Many of the kids with type 1 just love his bullseye. I am sure we will see many more new members because of Sam's leadership and when he has said you can still play elite sport and at the sametime manage to keep your diabetes under control. He is such a role model to so many children. Thank you Sam Reid

Thanks for the info susie, that's excellent that Sam wants to lend a hand and help out, he seems to be taking it all in his stride and the good thing is he will be educating himself along the way.

Re: 2010 memberships

Good news Susie, Reid seems like a really level headed kid and according to all reports he seems to have come to terms and adjusted to the dramatic lifestyle change quicker than those around him, now he just needs to get a kick.

Re: 2010 memberships

I saw Sam yesterday at the Club. He is just passionate about his football and is looking towards a great 2010. I managed to talk to a few of the players and they cannot wait for the season to start. It would be great to have more than 30,000 members signed up before the season starts. That is not a dream it is a reality if we put our minds to it. Perhaps we can give it a big push from our end. People thought we would not manage to do the redevelopment, now look what has happened. It is a very exciting time at the WB, both on and off the field.
