belaguttman Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I rang memberships today to cancel my automatic rollover as I was waiting to see who the new coach was. I was told that many people have rung with the same request and now they've changed the billing arrangements, as long as you cancel before the first payment is made on July 1st you can keep your current automatic rollover and your current seat and you won't be charged 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysHeart Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looking forward to buying a membership for me and my father in late July. Hope we can surpass our tally of 13,078 members we got last season. A lot of that will depend on if we hire a good/well known manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just policy on the run because they made a mistake going so early. The staff in the membership department are doing their very best with a lousy policy. The young lady there was most helpful in helping us move from City Gold to City Blue - all done with a couple of e-mails and a telephone call.

schrecky Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 On 5/1/2017 at 11:17 AM, jw1739 said: Just to clarify...we will renew, but we are changing from Gold to Blue. But like Playmaker I didn't realise how much I actually cared about the club until following the semi-finals over the weekend and thinking how we should have been part of it. I think I felt worse about that than the Perth match itself. I'm a sad case really. Its taken me exactly 1 month to get over that last game. So many emotions from just 1 game. I Was going to upgrade this year from Blue to silver/gold , but cannot justify now based on price vs performance. We are $400 more expensive for a family for a gold membership than the other Mob.... The entertainment value** doesn't justify the extra $$$ That and i've got some good seats reserved just behind the tarp that my boy reckons are better seats than the gold we had for the final. I Saved me $800 (Blue vs Gold) , i might have spent more if i thought the club was going somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno cpfc Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 jw1739, i have just done the survey and did not hold back in voicing my opinion about our performance and the non answering of questions on City Voice. I also wrote a piece regarding the rush to get members to resign before May 31st and the ever increasing cost of memberships so hopefully i may get some sort of reply. I won't be holding my breath though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 My response to the 'one word summary to the season' question was 'failure'. Tossing up between that or 'rubbish' @johnno cpfc I didn't hold back either. A lot of zero ratings and gave my thoughts on management and coaches that's for sure. Will it matter? Don't think so. Wonder if they will post the results to the survey to their members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I wrote some long and detailed responses, who knows of it'll be read but I didn't hold back, I feel better though. When the best thing about the match day experience is the sausage stand outside the stadium you know that you have problems. I suggested lowering ticket prices to $5 until we have a crowd of 20,000 as on field success and ground atmosphere are the best drivers of success. Just look at Sydney FC, they struggle to attract a crowd in a stadium with no atmosphere and they have less season ticket holders than we do.

Cloughie Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I suggested that the entire club from the CEO to the person that answers the phone needs to sit on a bus that is driven at full speed off St Kilda pier while singing "So Happy Together" so we can start afresh next season. Not sure if they'll award me the signed club shirt, but if so it's bound to rise in value as sporting memorabilia if the suggestion is followed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not renewing until they announce the new manager. i don't think that's unreasonable. These guys have known for at least a year they would need a manager now so I shouldn't need to commit my money before they get their shit together. If I lose my seat so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand fully your stance. I'm a little on the other side off the fence. I'm renewing regardless of whom they appoint as senior coach assistant or which players they sack and which they bring in. Basically I'll continue to renew regardless of what the club does its more to do with my own and kids want to attend. At this point in time we all still enjoy the fortnightly adventure and when that wanes then we will probably stop. Having said that if they appoint some washed up shit cunt as coach I'm out.

I'll keep renewing until I can't physically make it to my seat anymore. I've watched various clubs over the years and the game keeps drawing me back whoever the manager is and whatever the results. I can't imagine not going. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However like JW1739 i have renewed but as i told the memmbership person on the phone if we do the same as this season then this will be my last. So, hurry on the new coach and some good signings.
