Falastur Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 To much concern about Victory on here.. The blueprint for Melbourne City doesn´t really care about other clubs ups and downs, it´s all about this club, this team. In fairness, you'd struggle to find any thread on Bluemoon discussing City's rise or future without a fair amount of obsessing about the scum in it. Just the same as on the NYCFC forums they can't keep themselves from discussing the Red Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF33 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) i just noticed that Sydney FC were selling four game "blockbuster" packs before the season starts. pretty cheap move to bump up numbers early on. my tip is that if we're doing well we'll be selling a boatload of three/six game memberships to the last lot of home games after the asian cup Victory are selling 3 game packages ! At least all our members are full season ones (so far) Pretty surprised that we're not, to be honest. I guess there's a balancing act for the administration: you absolutely want to capitalise on David Villa and get big crowds while he's here, but you don't want them to only be interested in Villa, creating tumbleweeds when he leaves. I think the current set-up lends itself to a bit of a 'come for Villa, stay for trophies' with regards to new members, so a 3-game home membership through to January and then a discounted GA membership offer for those sign-ups after they've used their three games could possibly have worked, if the club is as successful this season as (presumably) it intends to be.

jw1739 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think that City are trying very hard not to be "Villa-centric" in all of this. In future seasons there will be other players from CFG clubs coming to play for us, maybe as guests, more likely as visa players, because that's one of the benefits of being a part of the CFG stable. But IMO the club wants to be seen as an integrated whole - "A Melbourne club for Melbourne people" - rather than just a succession of imported glamour players tacked on to a pedestrian local squad. Villa and Duff might be getting the attention, and the media is tending to overlook Ross Archibald's first A-League start and Marc Marino's A-League debut, but for the longer-term those two lads are just as important to City as the imported stars. I'd much rather see limited-match memberships geared around, say, the summer school holidays than a particular player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I think 10k is possible. Especially if they make a big song and dance about it.

n i k o Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 If you think about how many people will sign up as members by Sunday plus the potential members that will sign up at the game there is a chance that we could crack the 10k.

Heart_fan Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Much of the growth will come off early season form. If we can do well, the numbers could well be quite impressive. If we do our usual trick and lose this week, off the back of the Villa hype and a "new" club mindset, then it will likely see momentum slow to a crawl. Lets hope we can actually deliver this time.

I pretty confident we're gonna WIN this week. In fact we're gonna trash the Jets and then soon afterwards MCFC brains trust will put out a 5 game membership pack to coincide with Villa being here till Christmas and then watch the number get well above 10k.

Why should those people be punished for prior commitments. If they don't rock up 10 or so minutes into the game by all means take the seat. But if someone has that seat and turns ups with a minute to kick off I would as should most others expect to get my seat/ standing position upon request.

Seems a poor investment to me. Mate no need to get aggressive. You need to be more clear with your argument it doesn't seem to make sense. So I will attempt to make sense of it, if you mean why would I buy an active supporter membership if I expect a seat to sit in as a poor investment when in fact at most times active supporter area is standing area, then you are correct it would be a poor investment if I wanted to sit. However with what I was trying to say is that if I turn up whether it be 2 hours before the game or one minute before the game if I pay for a seat/ section I would expect that I would be allowed to stand there if I wish to as it is what I have purchased.
