      Just wanting to get some advice. I ordered my social club membership a good couple of months ago and completely forgot about it until my pack arrived yesterday. Opened the pack and got all the scarf, tag and other stuff (which I never use), but no access card. I've tried calling the club this morning, but as it is saturday morning it is out of hours. Does this mean I miss out tomorrow (or will I have to contribute further to Mr.Collins' pension fund by buying another ticket)? I'm really dissapointed and although it won't stop me signing up next year I fear this sort of thing could tip some other supporter over the edge so that they elect to not renew next year..

      I realise I've left it late, but I don't think it should be the responsibility of the member to chase up their tickets

      In any case does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should do? Is it worth just turning up to the membership tent tomorrow and pleading my case. If its not I will just go to local pub to watch, but doesn't help crowd numbers / support...
      The membership tickets came seperate from the other pack, in case you didn't realise your normal membership ticket is your social club ticket.

        Even at their very busiest they struggle to get 1000 signing up on game day.

          thanks all for the suggestions. All got sorted at the membership tent - they were really good about, so no complaints from my end.. Good day all in all!

          cheers

            Re: Membership numbers

            Just a quick one, as we are struggling for memberships, i thought it was strange that the membership tent was closed after the game.

            Would it have been an opportunity to perhaps get a few who got to the game late or pick up a few fickle types that would part with some cash after a big win?

              I saw one open, round near Gate 7.

                No value in keeping it open. If people were prepared to pay to watch the game they wouldn't necessarily stick around to join up afterwards. They already had the chance of joining up prior to the game.

                      I don't think we have a chance of getting anywhere near last years membership figure now. It's annoying how fickle some supporters can be.

                      All my membership gear came yesterday! FINALLY! Now I can wear my 2011 Social Club scarf!

                          I really think that is the only way. We'll be very lucky to get 30K otherwise.

                            The club would be extremely disappointed with the numbers.

                            Top four three years in a row, and still with a chance in 2011 to make (and win) a Grand Final. What more do you want?

                            Hate to see our figures if we finish in the bottom half again anytime soon.

                              The only good news out of it is that our reserved area is almost full and I believe our Social Club is almost at capacity.

                                The actual number of members isn't as important as the revenue we gain so these 2 points should mean that we aren't too far away from last years figures.
