Agree, it was a great success. Nice to be able to wear a club scarf in the summer and not feel uncomfortable. It doesn't seem sensible not to have the same offer this season. I don't understand the club's thinking sometimes. I think we'll see the membership counter appear shortly after 1st June, when the number of automatic rollovers becomes known, and then we'll see what sort of "connect" has continued between the club and last season's members.

Would be good for the club to repeat again next season so theoretically all members could participate in Happy Together. I feel like emailing the club about this. Who do you people suggest l email?

Based on experience so far you won't get a sensible response from the club, merely a regurgitation of the standard response on 2017/18 memberships such as there being two home derbies etc. etc.- see City Voice if you want the details. And that's if you're lucky to get any response at all. Adverse comments are usually ignored completely. I'd say the one thing that CFG doesn't like is adverse publicity. If you feel strongly about it, e-mail Michael Lynch about the price increases/cap/scarf etc. and say the club doesn't know how to connect with its supporter base.

I actually did ask the girl that answered the membership hotline a week ago on what do you get in the Membership Pack. I mentioned last time we got the option of a cap or a scraf. She said they have not made that decision yet on what merchandise you will get. But she probably knows as much as us on what will be offered. If any.

kingofhearts Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Who honestly gives a fuck if you get a free scarf or not with your membership? Scarf's are too hot to wear in the summer anyway, and if you want a good quality one, just go buy one from the shop if you're in desperate need of one. The only thing i use from the membership package outside of the membership its self obviously, is the fridge magnet with the fixture on it #keepthemagnet #ditchthescarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, l have two scarves and purchased another 3 for other family members. But l get a little jealous when l see every single Victory fan holding their scarves up singing together compared to us where the scarves are sporadic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song for song comparison I do think it's better than ours. A large majority of people around where I sit feel the same. What I mostly agree with is your last sentence, however from a certain angle. Doubt the crowd will buy into the song itself nor prefer it as the club song but with more people involved it could have a flow on effect on the whole crowd.

I'll just throw in - and we're getting way off topic here, but it's the off-season... - where is there anything "official" about SHT being our club song, when and where people should sing it, etc. etc.? I don't see it as, say, as a mentioned in the membership pack, so where does a new member, for example, find out about it? There are plenty of members who down't turn up to matches, so IMO they're not particularly "connected" to the club, so why should they be "connected" to the song? IMO too many assumptions are made about memberships and members. This is a basic problem with the club - it does a lot of good things - for example in the community - but IMO most people are mainly interested in what goes on on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a good point about new members/non showing members not being too aware of the club song. Just to clarify my post is related directly to regular attending members that are well aware of the club song and don't feel connected or willing to sing it.

I'm going to look carefully at just what is in the membership pack for 2017/18. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but for 2016/17 I don't recall there being anything about the club at all - just the trinkets, the membership card and lanyard, and the cap/scarf.
