raw10 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Here's a crazy idea! Why don't we sack JvS and bring in a more prominent manager, win our games and watch our membership explode! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my son got that was remotely useful was a bib with the city logo stuck on it. And even that was such shoddy quality it shriveled up after going through the wash!

IIRC this time last year we had not yet offered any "limited matches memberships" whereas we released "4 home game memberships" on 6th October this year.

mjake1234 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Memberships have just about faltered so now we have introduced a three match holiday pack (for $75) which includes the Derby match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the "3-match holiday pack" concept TBH, but if "in the metrics" they are given the same standing as my full-season ticket then that will be just laughable.

jw1739 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 According to the published numbers, we've sold at the very most just 21 3-match holiday pack memberships.

Paulski Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 If they're serious about memberships, don't think it'd be hard to employ at least one person to take calls right up to Christmas to take advantage of our momentum. Just a little thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that's only true if it's simple. If it's complicated (like say you want a family membership but 1 of the family is a teenager) then you just can't do it on line. I'd say there are other situations like that. Look surely at least 1 person can work up to & including Christmas Eve, it's hardly a major imposition. Anyway like I care. Do what you like CFG, just don't whinge if the derby glory didn't bring in the members you hoped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 IMO taking a Christmas break and shutting your admin. office down completely is sloppy when your season is only 6-7 months and runs from October to March/April. If you want to grow your business that just ain't the way to do it. Incidentally, try being a visitor to Melbourne interested in football, arriving on a Saturday/Sunday and seeing that there's a match on but not knowing much about the A-Leage/local clubs/ticketing etc. - so you ring the club to find out how to get a ticket...unless things have changed you won't get an answer. Contrast the time a few years ago I was in London for a day, saw Crystal Palace were at home to Arsenal that afternoon, so I rang up Arsenal thinking I had Buckley's chance of getting a ticket...very nice bloke answered and said that they always had a couple of hundred seats reserved for people from overseas etc. such as me, told me which entrance at the ground to go to, produce some ID and to cut a long story short that afternoon I was perched high in the stands watching the game. If you want fans you have to earn them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
