jw1739 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I've just received an email from the club asking me to complete a survey. I haven't bothered yet. Anyone else received it and it looked at it? I don't see the point of filling it in if it's the same old stuff - we're in the middle of a Stage 4 lockdown.

I may also write to the membership section at HQ as I have been wanting to make some comments about members attending matches, even before we had heard of COV-19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I've had positive responses in the past from the Membership section (Ryan) but nothing has ever actually been acted on. The two suggestions that received an initial favourable response were the recycling of old merchandise, and expansion of the weekly club newsletter to include a section on supporters' news. I'm not upset that nothing eventually came of the suggestions, although I suspect that there is a blockage above Ryan. Don't think that that would come as a surprise to anyone!

Thrillhouse Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 had my 3rd call from the membership guy today, I brought up how the other 2 times he said he'd get back to me later in the day and there was no call, he said he was just there to help out the other membership people and that he'd help me out today.... didn't call back fucking hopeless club clearly wants money and dickhead employees can't even put the effort in to get us to sign up knowing that we won't get to see every home game anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Im not renewing until the season is announced. Still a bit jacked off about not getting anything for the games we didn't get to go to last season. I get that the world is in a financial calamity and obviously that includes Melbourne City but it also includes me and kids and we paid for a dozen home games last season and was short changed. I will absolutely renew but not until the season is confirmed and at minimum guaranteed some live football, probably March and beyond. And I too had a couple calls but none since I explained my opinion a few weeks back. Edited September 11, 2020 by Jovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillhouse Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 thought the 3 options were to compensate the 2 games we missed at the end of the season, apparently the shirt is out of stock now too they talk about membership "price freeze" yet it's still more than what I paid for this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, I doubt that the club knows much more than we do about the future. FFA is eerily quiet on what fans want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As above I've renewed on the monthly payment plan and so far the club has not taken any money from me, so perhaps they're holding off until there's more information about a next season.

Thrillhouse Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 friend got an email back from Sarah at the club, instead of the 3 incentives you can get a 'refund' for the games we missed and that can go towards next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IssySG Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hello! Does anyone have the Melbourne Heart membership numbers for the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 season I would be eternally grateful. And if by some miracle, if anyone could find the A League Membership numbers for those two seasons generally I'd be even more grateful! I can find From 2012/2013 onwards, but struggle to find much predating that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 @IssySG This post for 2012/13 says that total club membership is 70,000 and a 12% increase from last season (i.e. 2011/12) so you can get an approximate figure for 2011/12 that way. I'm afraid my database on Heart/City does not have any numbers for the two seasons you're after but I will have a search and see if I can tuen anything up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
