schrecky Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Be very interested to see how many Man City supporters jump on board. For a $225 general admin membership that`s equivalent to 4 of their home games. A international membership is $70 which is equivalent to one home game to watch City. Hopefully they offer Man City members an incentive to sign up with us. My mate who is passionate City fan, and also 5 year victory fan has just jumped across .. Apparently the love for city > Victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartMillsy29 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I reckon without much hard work I could get at least 6 mates to sign up because of the change. Last season nobody wanted to come to the games with me, but now they all want tickets to see Villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the club will drip feed signings with the start so far away to keep up the excitement. Once membership starts to slow down come out with another major signing and get it all going again.

Heart_fan Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) I expect that after the WC we will see the next boost in numbers, after a few bigger announcements will be made. If Australia do well in the WC, it may be even healthier on its own really, as that will build demand for the sport. The peaks are usually only after big announcements, and the first day of last years membership drive was also not a bad result To say we will be on 7K by mid Aug is just not likely to happen, but we can hope I guess .

Shahanga Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I wonder how many extra k Villa will bring in? Whilst he's not a household name like Beckham, (but just happens to be a better player), serious football fans know he easily eclipses any previous A League players (whilst comparable players have come here, (ADP, Fowler, Romario, Yorke) they have all been well passed their best by varying degrees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 According to the Herald Sun those 885 members do not include direct debit from last year. That would be correct. If they do not wish to roll over to next season they have to notify the club by 19th June, otherwise they will automatically continue next year. So expect numbers to jump on or shortly after 19th June. Also I wouldn't put too much emphasis on daily figures based on date because of the difference in the calendar - especially the Queen's Birthday holiday.

This brings Envy and Hatred rather than Respect for Building from the ground up - Look at Brisbane Roar The second strip is just a sweetener for fans - The Timing of Villa Signing is a business move to win over the Fans. At the end of the day it is the Passion that has gone as i expect it has for a lot of Fans, the days of planning short holidays and interstate work commitments around Heart fixtures is behind me now But i would Miss Football !! ... 40 odd years of Playing and supporting on two continents in Three country's, to just chuck it in because of City takeover is very hard for me. I dedicated my social time to the Club , Never Missed a fixture in Victoria and travelled to several away games in NZ and Interstate. Met some great people along the way, Some oldies in the Ace of Heart categories and some genuinely friendly Football fans in the Yarraside - The last four years have been awesome even if the Football has been crap. June 6th in Europe is remembered as D-Day - June 5th In Australia will have a similar remembrance for Me. Do i renew my Membership for the new season ........... ?

Sure they became successful before that but don't fool yourself into thinking that loyalty kept players there dollars did. Look what happened to Rado 'the brains'. 5 games then moved on. We couldn't afford to do that. Money plays it's part in all success in sports these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its time to pull me head in and move on > I just dont know which road to take This really gets me with United fans. Not being able to out spend some other teams now. They just have a sugar daddy etc. Give me a break United started the rot. Had some good players come through in the 90's then spend big dollars from then on. If the prices of players were the same back then as they are now United would have spent way more than most have now. The grounds not called the library for nothing. Now United have LVG coming and supposedly a massive amount of money to spend. Pot calling the kettle black if you ask me. The fans can still the team Heart it's now our nickname. I haven't lost my passion for the club. Got a bit down through the JA years and money was an issue to get to games (cost of fuel) but still watched games on the computer. Just a new chapter in the clubs history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
