How can they count that as membership if there was no transaction? On 12/11/2019 at 2:58 PM, jw1739 said: Fair enough. It's hard to know what's what. I just get the impression that the ground is not as full as it was when we were Heart, for similar reported numbers. That's all. There were huge gaps everywhere against Central Coast. I agree with this 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably counted as 2 per person because they are not stupid enough to pay for their membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been allocated a seat, and that's why the sections are shown as sold out. There is a transaction even if no payment is involved.

jw1739 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Anyone received an invitation to do the latest survey? Is it worth doing? The first few questions look like "same old, same old" so I haven't continued yet. I couldn't see that they were relevant to the current situation. Surely they know by now what supporters think of the club? Edited March 31, 2020 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 First reactions to the so-called offer for next season: - a bit miserly, given that we don't see all the home matches in the current season and no refund has been offered; - the current season not yet completed; - no decision has actually been made on the start and finish of next season (December to July has been mooted but not confirmed,) who is going to run it, and what clubs will survive to compete in it; - as always we don't know the composition of the coaching and playing groups. As per @Jovan I can't see any chance of watching live football again for a long time - indeed until a reliable treatment and/or a reliable vaccine for COV-19 is widely available. The present Australian policy of "containment and suppression" of the virus instead of going hard for "elimination" is just going to see lock-downs repeated over and over again and continued uncertainty in our lives.

jw1739 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I'm going to get them to call me back on my memberships for next season. According to the map below City Blue reserved seats behind the Southern Goal where we were are gonski, and that whole area other than Active is now GA. I won't go back to Level 1 on the sidelines because every time it rains you get wet there. Edited July 16, 2020 by jw1739 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not grab an "active seat" which will guarantee entry for a derby and sit where you normally sit in GA for other games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to give them up but quite sure we will be forced but what for? I highly doubt attendances will be up significantly next season. The only thing that makes sense is to push everyone to the camera side so it looks better on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all likelihood you can sit in the exact same seat every week and noone will be the wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm OK with that. As long as I'm in approximately the same place and can find the mates we sit with, I'm cool.

It came as a bit of a shock to me, but I'm OK with it too. I was told that the idea came from "a number" of GA members who suggested that we need to me more flexible with memberships and that the club hopes that more people at the Southern End will become involved with vocal support led by the "active" sections. As long as I can be up the back somewhere and fully under cover then it's fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other advantage of this arrangement is that you can swap ends at half time if you choose. That's a huge improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it you can sign on for a reserved seat in one of the City Blue areas and use it when you want to (e.g. derbies against MV) and sit in the GA area when you don't want to use your reserved seat. My disappointment at being moved (back) to the wing (I was originally there) is you get wet every time it rains. I'm a disaffected Heart supporter anyway, so I don't really care too much about it all, and a GA membership will do me fine for now. There are too many uncertainties over COV-19, football in general, when the season will be, who will compete in the A-League if there is one etc. etc.. for me to worry too much about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 One of the positives with GA membership being on the active side again is that's the side people will flock too which should look great on TV - as I recall, those with GA memberships would quite often switch the end they were on based behind the goals we were attacking (which looks great for TV when we score at the home end), hopefully it can result in more atmosphere and give more for Melburnians to work with come 20/21. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
