I'd hate to be aligned with someone like Collingwood, Hawthorn or Carlton The original purchase by Manchester City involved 20% ownership by Storm interests so that FFA were kept in the dark as to the real change in ownership. When they were ready, those Storm interests were only to happy to sell their stake to City. So I can't see that Storm would have any real interest in us. However, the Rebels might be a different story in terms of a joint membership package or discounted tickets etc. I'd probably go to a couple of Rebels matches in that sort of system, if for nothing else that our off-season is just too long. But I wouldn't want a bar of any arrangement with AFL interests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 The game is a stand alone product IMO ... we don't need an affiliation when any other code. Growth will continue and within a few years, the top stand will be open to members ... how quickly depends on our continued success and the impending TV deal 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's not silky like the old heart membership scarfs and it's not knitted, it is like an airy material, perforated like the kits, definitely a summer scalf which makes sense. Quality is decent.

NewConvert Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 IIRC some years back, during the hearts period, there was a cross promotion with the rebels or maybe cricket but it only lasted one season. I suspect because neither party got a lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviant Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 it'd be good to buy an AAMI park membership with a Melbourne City support. So a reserved seat for City... and GA for all other games at AAMI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only number that should be counted by the clubs and by FFA. The limited-match "memberships" get people though the gates, get people interested, and can be added to the club's mailing list for future correspondence, but giving a 3-match ticket the same value in the metrics as a 13/14 match ticket is nothing more than fudging the numbers. This one of the reasons why I started recording the numbers, but unfortunately didn't do it early enough to have a record for every season.

At the away kit launch I had a chat with a staff member about this. He basically said that there are X amount of people (I think it was 300,000) in Victoria who are City "fans". What the 3/5/8 etc. offers is a form of engaging those fans and tangibly connecting them with the club in a way a traditional membership couldn't. I wouldn't call it fudging the numbers I would call it reacting to market demands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1-match "membership"? Anyway, this has all been debated before. We are not "members" of anything. Those who purchase a 13/14 match season ticket, or other multiple-match ticket (such as country or international), are what should properly be called "season-ticket holders." Anyone else is not a season-ticket holder. I cannot accept that a 3-match ticket has the same numerical value as a 13/14 match ticket. I emphasise that I'm saying nothing about the persons concerned - I'm simply referring to the numerical value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, does it really matter at the end of the day as long as the club knows it own numbers? The dick measuring contest that the AFL in particular seem to have re numbers is a load of crap really. The club obv needs to have it own goals for a profitability point of view but i just dont think the exact number matters that much.

HEARTinator Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Well here it is. Day before season starts number of season ticker holders stands at 9795, just shy of 10,000. Historically, about 80% of your ticket holders sign up by now so we could expect to reach close to 12,000 by early new year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emphasise that I'm saying nothing about the persons concerned - I'm simply referring to the numerical value. To be a smart arse for a moment, I could by a country membership at any stage before or after the start of the season because it fits my circumstances, fill the 5 game quota and still be a proper member, true? I'm sure I've taken it out of context of what was meant, but in itself that's how I see people who buy a membership - all to support the club by a means that suits the ticket holders needs, desires and where they are in life at the point in time they sign up. Some who "bought in" when Villa signed would have bailed at the first sight of trouble, others buy memberships and stay (a.) through thick and thin and (b.) regardless of how many times they can attend.

There was an issue with the supply of the scarves included with the membership. Hence the initial delay in despatch. But the remainder of the delay in delivery can be laid at the feet of Australia Post. My parcel was despatched by SportSubs in Adelaide last Friday and "processed" at Sunshine West yesterday morning at 05.29. Heard nothing since. The Pony Express would have been faster.
