Membership question

[happydude]

Yes i am 20 moved out of home last year and have pulled enough money together for the past 2 years for a social club reserved seat membership.

i turn 21 in september and this is my 20th year of carlton membership, first season was 1992.
Before i moved out to la trobe valley i used to make the hour trip more than once a week into calrton to watch training and got to know a couple of players, now i just make the weekly 2 and a half hour trip in to watch the games.
the way i see it we should have more members even if it is only the 3 game package.

 

[1995]

17 years old and this is my second year of being a member. Although according to the membership department and the certificate that I was sent I'm a 10 year veteran.

 

[Mr_Plow]

17 years of age and not yet a member. Plan to sign up when I'm 18 and have the money to afford it. Doubt my Collingwood supporting family were ever going to invest in a Carlton membership for me as a child.

I've been a member since 1995 and will remain a member for the rest of my life. I started supporting the Blues when I was 5 and living in Perth because the jumper (on black and white TV) was nothing like any of the WAFL jumpers. It was a great decision because I really should have supported Melbourne because they were red and blue and had the Grand Old Flag for their song just like West Perth.

Been a member since 2008, so this is Judd's 4th year.

Will be a member as long as J lives.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Myself and all my baby girls. Must say the baby and jnr memberships could be improved

 

[AlecDuncan]

First joined as a junior about 1971. Solid since Fitzroy went down the gurgler.

 

[Claypigeon]

10th year as a member. .. 2nd year continuous. .. Was a member for most of the dark year. .. 1999-2006 then 2010-Now. ..

16th year as a member... most important card in my wallet - ok maybe the drivers license is but it's debatable

Have enough bloody hats as well!!

You reminded me of my lost caps. .. I once went to a mad hatters party and wore all of my membership caps, I think I had 7 or 8 (had caps hanging from my belt). .. We went out afterwards so I left my caps at my friends place. .. and someone stole them

Mine just sit at home gathering dust... hate wearing hates (occasionally will wear one if it is sunny when playing golf), I didn't even pick up the one that came with this years membership

Also it is good to see the Club is finally honouring their longer serving members. My grandmother has been a member since 1945 (good year to start ) and was invited this year to a function at the start of the year because of this. Wish they did this sort of thing more often as she has given heaps to the club and lives and breathes footy and still goes every week, even at her old age

Not a member yet but contemplating becoming a 3 game member on Sunday at the game. Will be an 18 game member next year if I can find a full time job now that I have finished Uni.

[SOLAK]

Been a member since 2002, Being a member through the dark days makes me enjoy these times that much more



p.s joining durring those dark days means i got killer seats for both MCG and Eithad

 

[reg_lower91]

Was registered as a member the minute I was born. But have had an AFL Carlton membership for 12 years now.

 

[thylacine60]

Registered the same day the club did in 1864. Ran foul of the anti-marsupial crowd and have been a relatively low-key, non-voting member ever since. That's 145 years continuous. Pretty sure...

 

[Poseidon]

I once high 5'd Fev.

 

[thylacine60]

Before or after he cleaned the window with it?

 

[blues4flag]

I once had Walker dedicate a game to me.

NAB Challenge game but it's the thought that counts.

 

[Big_Luch]

I'm 20. Family of soccer crazy immigrants and nobody else really cares about footy so being a member when I was a kid was never really an option though I did receive a fair amount of merchandise. My teenage years, well I was a maverick & still had no money really. My brother actually bought me a membership at the end of 2009 for the 2010 season, I bought my own for 2011 and plan to stay a member for life.

Ive only just this year become a member as well. I too come from a soccer family, so getting the football was always difficult. And in recent years i worked weekends and had nobody to go with. All changed this year...only missed 1 or two melbourne games ....lovin capts club.

 

[juzz88]

Just got my 3 game membership.

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

Been a paid up member every year since 1979 when I started my paper round in teh streets of Carlton so i could pay for one

 

[JuDDysthacaptain]

Been a member since 2007, living in Brisbane for university at the moment. Bought a 3 game membership today

 

[Blue Dawn]

Been a member for about 22 years now since i returned to Melbourne in the late 80's.

 

[happydude]

I have a membership question.
I see people with 20 year badges ect, but this is my 20th year and i have no badge.
i also believe mum has been a member for around 30 i think but has not badges?

i like these badges and hope i can chase them up (if they still do them will be disappointed if they dont.)

 

[thylacine60]

Prepare to be disappointed, hd. I was due my 30 year membership badge this year and got nothing but a couple of misprinted sheets of cardboard. I presume they no longer do them which hacks me off a tad.

 

[happydude]

i will ring them and ask and when they say no we are using the cardboard recycled by visy to misprint your membership years i will let them know of my disappointment

maybe we can complain enough for some little badges
