Shahanga Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 signed up again x 3. Managed to squeeze in between all the Argentinians, Western Samoans & Maltese. Incidentally they are offering 10% discount right now, (but whether that is a discount having put the rate up after renewals ended I don't know) anyway if you are just putting off the inevitable you can save yourself some money at present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Can safely say that we are x2 new full members this season, after doing some 3 match memberships over the last couple of seasons. My first post on here, after being an increasingly regular supporter over the past five years. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeming Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think we are a fair way off. I got a phone call last week offering me a special rate of 10% off because I had a 3 game membership last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of oakleigh Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Called membership department last week. The person i spoke to hasnt got access to the current live total yet but said it was around 5500 a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Last year memberships were launched on 24th June 2015, and 31st July 2015 marked the end of the "Reserved Seat" renewal period - i.e. the period during which you could automatically retain your seat from the 2014-15 season. Membership at c.o.b. that day stood at 5,231. So from the vague numbers obtained from the club so far it appears that at this stage there hasn't been much improvement on last season.

I just feel our memberships to date are a reflection of how we're handling it as a club - dragging our feet on player announcements and with next to no local exposure while our friends in the dark blue shirts are getting all the headlines with their matches against high-profile European clubs.

What headlines? The ICC has been an unmitigated disaster this year. Noone wants to pay inflated prices to watch a famous clubs B team at a shit stadium for football. Crowds have reflected that, as has the media coverage. Ive heard more about Choi's FFA Cup goal ín the mainstream media than of anything thats happened in the Mickey Mouse Cup. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my tickets to watch Atletico last weekend (ticket number 5031-5036, I'm assuming I was one of the last to buy tickets), then this week my employer, local club and cousins school gave us another 6 free tickets. But it was good exposure for Victory, they have a foothold on the Geelong fans demographic that City haven't tapped into at all yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
