Re: Years of membership

I joined up the family in 2003, what a great year that was The doggies only won a couple of games and I wasn't at any of those wins, but saw a lot of losses. The loss to Richmond was the worst

Re: Years of membership

Its amazing just how long some posters on WOOF have been members, even more amazing that they can drive a computer!

That is enough of that, is that directed to Trish & I.
I can use a computer AND still do things in my head as well, how's that for versatile !

Re: Years of membership

I was always a member as a kid from 1975 to 1986, then I dropped off when I played local paddock footy on Saturday afternoons from 1987. By the time It got to about 1994 there were less Saturday arvo games so I became a member again and have done so ever since.

Re: Years of membership

Was first a junior member in '78. Been a member on and off ever since. Lived interstate a fair bit which made it hard to justify. Been a continuous member since '07 when I bought 2 general memberships (1 with 17 games, 1 with 11 home games) my first year of Christmas tips from the Big Issue. Upgraded to Silver last year and have added Social Club this year. My ex-girlfriend's dog is a Pet Member for the second consecutive season. I wonder how she will react when the dog-blanket arrives?

Re: Years of membership

I'm not exactly sure, but I was a member for a couple of years when we were still at Optus Oval, so my guess is at least 1998. Mum didn't want to take me until I could properly appreciate it, so I was about 7 I think.

Re: Years of membership

First membership year was '75 when I started going every week with my Dad after he retired from playing footy. Was a member every year up to about '88 I reckon, when I was playing senior footy myself on a Saturday and couldn't make it to Doggie games. Bought a membership when I went to the 2nd game of '92, a home game against the Saints after we knocked off the Crows at Footy Park in Round 1, and have been a consecutive member since then.

Re: Years of membership

I've been a member since 2003... Yep, was financial enough to buy a membership for the first time. I was also excited about Peter Rhode's first outing as a coach in rd22 of the previous year thinking the future was looking up for the '03 season... Boy were the next couple of years tough going!!

Re: Years of membership

Can't exactly remember as I was too young to remember and my Mum has passed away so can't exactly ask her can I? I think it was 1975 but was going since I was a baby in 1970. My husband since 1979 and my kids were signed up before they were born in 1997 and 2001.

Re: Years of membership

After reading through the YEARBOOK, I was wondering just how many years everyone has been a member? I joined WAYYYYYY back in 1961 (won't tell how old I was) so this year (2010) brings me up to 49 consecutive years.

That's dedication for you!!! I am impressed!!

I am but a relative newbie with about 6 years as a member...but will be one for the rest of my life!!!!

My mother in law was at the 54 grannie...so...its a family tradition..and I will be at the next Grand Final!

Great thread!

Reckon it should be an offence under the Child Protection Act. Should also be an offence if a parent signs up their child to collingwood. And, no, that is not a grammatical error on collingwood.
