2008 Membership Pack

[ExTasDeeMan]

Anyone else recieve the renewal pack - the good thing is the membership card comes with the form, however the pen included is tacky and piss poor marketing.

Judging from the mailout, all members over 15 will get a free Tie. They still don't get it...

Are they going to send us some decent ****ing stickers that don't fade after a week?

 

[Deenamite]

They've slipped back into a more conservative design this year. And I'd prefer my gold one to the platinum one, the only real difference being you get to really stick it up the bandwagoners that have been members for miniscule amounts of time.

 

[JuveRule]

The pen's an absolute joke...but i bet i won't be laughing when i have to use it to remember a vital piece of MFC trivia

 

[festa1234]

yea i got 1 even after i told them not to send me anything as im not renewing my membership because i am getting an afl membership

 

[Marns]

Why would you do that?

I like the idea of having the different levels. I think it's a good incentive for the fickle out there who would like the prestige of having say a gold or platinum as opposed to missing a year and having to go through the process again. Sneaky, but good.

Do the stickers come once you've paid for the membership?

Just renew it. Pleaseeeeeee.

 

[melbournemartin]

Does this mean we don't get a new card each year? That'd be silly because the consecutive members thing wouldn't change.

I think that the design looks wicked and being a gold member is nice Not too many 18 year olds would be able to boast that

festa1234 is probably becoming an AFL Member with Melbourne Club Support. So he/she would still be a Melbourne member. As is the case with me.

Does the club recieve money for that? And does it count towards our membership tally?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think its yes on both counts. So really the guy who is joining the afl members is still supporting the club as much as anyone else who buys a membership.

 

[DemonErrol1964 - dees]

Yes I'm pretty embarrassed by the cheap plastic pen as well. Sheesh they give a a gold card and then a el-cheapo dollar shop pen.

Sure the club need to raise revenue but please give us supporters something back especially as I don't need to be one as I am an MCC member.

 

[DemonErrol1964 - dees]

Upon recollection of my previous post a Premiership would a good compensation for the nasty pen.

I would have thought that love of the club was enough reason, and that people wouldn't need pissy novelties to convince them to sign up.

 

[melbournemartin]

If you buy some expensive supporters pack you apparently get a decent pen

I didn't see the tie bit in your post until now. Really? I'm over 18 and I didn't get one (though I didn't read the form very carefully)

I'd like a tie as I'd actually use it. As for the pen....yay

 

[Marns]

I think the tie comes once you pay.

 

[Bartram_Class]

I like the pen.

Proudly carry the thing around.

yes getting an afl membership with melbourne club support so the club still gets money and im pretty sure it goes towards the over all number its my 1st year as afl member so it will cost me a bit around 500 from memory the 1st year is the dearest

 

[Deenamite]

At least the gold sets me apart. The platinum just looks like the silver. Is anyone a platinum here?

 

[Bateanator]

I got the gold membership. Only have to wait another decade until i upgrade! That pen broke for me as soon as i pulled the damn scrolling paper thing out

 

[melbournemartin]

A fixture would have been handier with the pen.

Your complaining over a pen? No wonder why us supporters have the reputation we do in the AFL. Who really gives a shit .... it's a pen!

And yep the tie, stickers, magnet fixture and all the other stuff comes when you pay.

i'm 14 and i'm on 9 years! 1 year off gettin a gold, what a bummer! 2009 i'll have to pay the big money to get a membership instead of the kid's 50 buck one. looks like more paper runs for me.
