Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
I did, and since, but I'm a diehard.The amount of people that claim to have stood by the club in 11/12 and gone to every game is staggering.
We must have had crowds every week of 35k not 12k.
I was there for every one of those games. Should've handed back our license when we had the chance.If those people exist they are more likely to be represented here
Everyone who renews should be given a ticket in the club raffle - that way they might get rid of all the tickets and stop keep ringing me.
According to the club, I've been a member for 18 consecutive seasons, so I can provide evidence that I didn't jump ship in 2011/12. I do remember going to a lot of games during that time, but probably not all of them. At one point it become an exercise of mental endurance to go to games during those days and my motivation to stick with the club was high. But I suppose I stayed home a few times.The amount of people that claim to have stood by the club in 11/12 and gone to every game is staggering.

I didn't know BF existed before 2014.We know they exist and we know who they are. Well the ones that were posting on this board back then anyway.

Meh I reckon picking a captain is far more important than the coach right now.
There are financial excuses why we could be failing to replace our coach, and there is even a chance he actually comes good with training.
There is absolutely zero excuse for why we would go through our 150th season without a captain like we did in 2019. Zero.
To those who haven't renewed/won't renew, what will get you back on board for 2020?
We all know a large percentage want Ken gone, but it's also fairly clear to see that won't be happening right now; so what could the club do today to get you on board?
I get we all want to get the message across that we aren't happy; but I'm also not sure the solution of cancelling memberships is going to help get us back on track; so keen to hear what people want/expect that the club could actually do as of right now (with the understanding of other major changes at a later date).
- More accountability?
- A clearer message across the board?
- One captain?
Back in July KT recognised a disconnect between the Club and its supporters.
Since then we have seen a membership price freeze and a scarf thrown in.
The Club has remained silent on the dual captaincy.
What exactly is the Club proactively doing to fix this disconnect?
Are they waiting on auto renewal numbers before seeing how high they might need to jump?
Silence isn’t helping, even if they just started by giving a timeline on the one/two captains would be a start.
yo gib me ur beenee inda meen timWaiting list won't be one of those for a while mate. I'm not trying to convince anyone just sharing knowledge I have come across from multiple sources. This thread is entitled 2020 membership renewals is it not?

we have no reason to have faith in any meaningful changes happening if our threat is withdrawn - they will have simply bought the 150th year to pat themselves on the back.(with the understanding of other major changes at a later date).
Faith in the integrity of the club’s management, and in particular in what its leaders say, has been destroyed.
I think a lot of people are at the point where they'd like to renew, but they don't know if they should, for the good of the club. Matt Richardson's comments give me cause for optimism, granted we've had that before. So I understand the decision for those who opt out, but it won't be me this year.Port 'supporters' who pulled out when we were at AAMI Stadium running off of the smell of an oily rag are cowards. The club was genuinely doing all it could to succeed at the time, the problem was in the situation that we were in 'all it could do to succeed' wasn't very much.
Port supporters who pull out now, I completely understand. The outside excuses that existed for our struggles in 2011-2012 no longer exist. Our current malaise is entirely self-inflicted.
I liken it to parenting, in a way. If you've got a kid who's a bit slow, is trying their best but is really struggling to get by, of course you continue to support that kid. That's what the club was in 2011. Now the club is a talented but lazy teenager which could be doing great things but which is choosing to sit on the couch getting stoned and eating potato chips instead, and then coming to us as the parents/members and asking for more money to buy weed.
The club right now needs tough love. At some point 'supporting' becomes more like 'enabling'. It needs to be made clear to them that the current path we're going down is unacceptable, and given our lack of ability to spill the board there's no other way for a Port member to vote other than with their wallet.
