No after-match entry for general public into the new shed

[Jenny T]

There are lots of potential problems with this system.


Just a few random thoughts.I just think having this exclusive gold membership is actually going to result in less people in the shed after each game and potentially less passionate supporters getting in there.

perhaps thats the ultimate aim in the first place....you must know that Corporates in suits don't like mixing with the average supporter! The Team for all SA'ns is perhaps a concept of the past!

Interesting to see how many go to the old shed still given the players will go back there.

$50 - no thanks.

I reckon the players will only hang around in the new one, especially if their family members get access to it.

Thats the attitude Crows98!...afterall its all about the Corporates these days...stuff the average Crows supporter!...yes sir its all about change for the better!!
Just to set the record straight....average crowd is usually around 40000...and of that 40k you may get 2000 at the most attending the after game venue....I've been a few times and found it to be extremely boring, so I wouldn't attend anyway (other than maybe for 10 mins for the curiousity factor!)

So why whinge and complain?

Pretty much

So us silver and gold members aren't good enough to get in huh? Well they can stick their shed up their ass: I keep plenty of beer in the fridge, so will drink that (and save $$$) instead.

3 players and a coach will go back to the old shed for interviews same as always. For me that's enough to just go back there and save the expense. Plus its our traditional home.

Anyone going to the shed to "hang around" players is borderline stalking in my book.

 

[Jars458]

50 dollars yeah nah don't think so AFC. Also notice in the Gold members packge (the normal one) there is an extra item usually we get one thing (this year was the cooler bag) but next year we get a scarfe and a seat cushion, so that will be the reason why the price of that membership wont go down

So transparent, yes it is fair to say I am not exactly seeing eye to eye with my club lately.

Other than the original hat with the A the only gift I have ever bothered picking up is the scarfe, so I won't bother with antoher one given that I have three already.

Why do we need a seat cushion now the aluminium is gone?

I reckon a members tie woudl be a nice gift.

I agree. Most of them dont want all the fuss anyway Ive found over the years.

Got my membership acceptance today, just dropped it into the mailbox all filled out. Never went to the old shed. Bought a pair of Gold Shed Premium Terrace tickets (at least I hope I get them), sooner I send it back the better I reckon.

 

[DirrtyBee]

Oooh any idea when the re-newals get posted out?
Do they do it in alphabetical order?

I went to a corporate function last Thursday held at the new Crows facilities.

Very simple to describe. Outstanding.

The new "shed" is a superb area - massive. They had a set of goals set up inside for the players to have shots from up to around 50 plus metres.

A function area overhangs part of it it so it would be perfect to present players to the masses as well as for use as a function area.

I was fortunate enough to get a personalized tour of the museum, which for the information of Peter Goers amongst other things has memorabilia celebrating two premierships at AFL level as opposed to Port's solitary one. The museum was really interesting and once again beautifully done.

I enjoyed the replica changeroom as there is enormous history on the door of each locker. Who played in that number and their achievements.

I had a good look inside the holy of holies - the board-room where some good decisions and others best forgotten will be made. Naturally I couldn't resist having a sit in the Chairman's seat!!

There are excellent first floor outside areas from which training can be viewed.

I have to say, I was super impressed. Our club does most things right, and IMO this time they have excelled.

Sounds good, pity the supporters will never get to enjoy it

whats Macca23 then? a Carrier pigeon?

 

[taylor_walker_13]

whats Macca23 then? a Carrier pigeon?

Im talking 'supporters' (not that macca23 isnt a supporter) you know the not so cashed up supporters who in the past 19 years have gone back to the shed and now wont be able too.

One of the lucky elite with corporate mates by the sounds of it

I will begrudgingly buy the membership despite the fact I may never go back to the damned thing.

Personally if it’s a special fee it should be offered regardless of class of membership, you can even get it stand alone if you like.

Adelaide Football Club provides a payment receipt for your account as follows:-

Reference:
Title: Premium Terrace - Gold Shed Adult 2010
Details:

Amount: $411.00 (Includes GST of $37.36 and Administration Charge of $0.00)

Transaction Status: Approved

Got this today - problem is, I ordered two tickets. Might have to call and ask about the second.

 

[Cap]

so that is Silver and gold incluing shed then?

 

[kimirocks]

Got my renewal forms today, not exactly happy.

For years (since they put the media boxes up top, before that I sat even further back) I have sat in Bay 305 with friends and family, it's a ritual, one or two grab the seats, the others have a bbq outside and we rotate.

Next year however it's going to have to change. I am a gold member and go to most shed parties...

Should I want to continue this;

AAMI Stadium membership - $310
Reserve seating - $130
Gold Membership - $150

So $590 - Can go get ****ed. Nice reward for two decades of support.

Oh and my parents who have Crows and Port membership would have to pay another $170 on top of that, so over $700 next season each, almost double the price.

**** gold is getting expensive, I remember when it was $80 or something like that.

Isn’t there going to be 2 categories for ‘gold membership’?

An ultimate gold membership that gains theses membership into the shed and the second one will simply be a standard gold membership that allows a grand finals ticket?

The ultimate gold membership one will be $150 and the standard gold membership $100

I just cannot find or remember where it said an actual price. Maybe i'm not looking hard enough.

 

[Symesy15]

I read the 2010 Membership Brochure today. Gold Membership is $100 on top of a season ticket and Gold Shed Membership is $150 on top of a season ticket and the only thing extra that you get with the Gold Shed membership is entry to the Shed. It didn't say anywhere on there that it was limited to only 3000 though

do I see this as a way the SANFL can get money seeing Adelaide and Port are moving to Adelaide Oval, and they're trying to money now before they lose their main form of income.

or perhaps SANFL memberships are getting sold out, and now they have the supply and demand crap pushing up the prices
