No Oppo Supporters NMFC 2019 Membership Thread

[Snake_Baker]

I was on a Vice Presidents Coterie membership which cost me $5000 to join then $5000 per year to be a member. It gave me access to all Melbourne games but nothing for the one WA interstate game where I lived. Before joining I was sent an email by the Coterie manager Graham Osborne saying that if I joined as an interstate coterie member, they'd look after me and provide me access to the game in WA, room access before and after the game, a seat at the Chairmans function in WA before the game etc. Being cashed up and wanting to support the club I joined, I received my membership ticket, the Coterie manager changed and Mark Roberts took over. In the lead up to the first North game in WA I called the club on numerous occasions to find out what was occuring with my WA ticket, dinner and room access. I finally received a call back from Mark Roberts who explained that my membership only game me access to Melbourne games, that If I wanted to go to the WA game i'd have to try my luck on Ticketmaster like everyone else. I explained to him my agreement with Osborne, and I forwarded my email to the Fridge. He responded that they couldn't honour the agreement as the tickets allocated to the club were gone, the seat at the WA Chairmans function had already been allocated. I told him I wasn't f**king happy with the treatment, he said he'd see what he could do. I received a ticket for the game and finally a ticket for the Chairmans function. On the day of the function I turned up to find that I'd been shunted into a corner of the table, was questioned by one of the north people on the table, when I explained who I was I received a comment about how someone had to hand back their ticket to the Chairmans function to allow me to attend.

Well after that treatment, plus the addtional membership issues others have mentioned on here, I have decided that my hardearned cash is best kept in my pocket rather than the clubs.

Appalling treatment, trying a to make a member feel guilty because they ****ed up their agreement. No doubt that ticket was for one of their cliquey mates, who probably isn't even a ****ing member anyway. Good on you for telling them to bang it. I'll be doing the same thing unless there is radical change down at the club. When the money dries up, reality will set in.

they ran out of scarves at gate 5 at 1/4 time and took people address' down to send out.... didn't know the club had so much money to spend to send out packs via post all because someone didn't add the numbers to get enough scarves. Club feels like it has totally gone backwards

Indeed. What is REALLY going on down there with the books?

The crowd was muted yesterday, on level 2 it was apathy from everyone around me.

It’s gone beyond anger, we are fed up and at the point of being completely over it.

It was the same at ground level.

 

[Only Forwards]

Forget it. There is no medallions. You won't be getting them.

This is about the only part of my membership pack I actually collect.

I mean I have a bunch of stuff from other years but he medallions I specifically store.

I have been informed that we won't be getting them.

Save your cardboard envelope cut out of the fixture as this years memento.

 

[Quivorir]

Well. My new seats on level 2 are nice I guess. That an upside.

 

[I Want To Believe]

Signed on for the Premirship Club this year and was really impressed. Great seats. Premiership bar was Great. Staff were excellent. Bit quiet, but suspect that will change when we start winning .

Well it seems your a True North person and see you treated like that is nothing short of a disgrace.
Stick fat champ hopefully good times are just around the corner

Same here, got a collection of mine & dad's going back close to 40 years. We are both annoyed they are not part of the package this year. And don't get me started on the mothballing of our traditional jumper.

This is one of the worst stories I've ever heard. At $5,000 a year when they stuffed up they should have arranged to fly you over for a Melbourne match and given you a bloody club chaperone for the day. Just depressing to read.

 

[Grossy Morrell]

I’ve already vented my thoughts on here, but the club risks alienating its members with its membership bullshit this season, traditional home jumper replaced with jumper that got shat on by a 150year seagul, and it’s general admistrative incompetence.

That is some outrageous nonsense. You have my sincere sympathy. The club you love, you hand over good money, and then they mess you about, and when you finally rock up for what is probably the main highlight on your calendar for the year, get treated like shit.

Mark Roberts, if you read this, you'll either contact Elroo directly to offer an apology and attempt to make amends, OR you should feel ashamed of yourself, and whoever is responsible for your employment (Carl Dilena, I would imagine) is god-damned turkey.

What an utter disgrace.

I hope you stick fat with the club, don't let one or two shitheads ruin it for you. And thank you for sharing your experience. I am a little pissed off on your behalf and I don't even know you. What is going on at the club I grew up supporting?

Actually slightly relieved to be honest. Figured something internal must have happened.

Snake_Baker the Events Manager pozish is calling your name. Get the Social club rocking and rolling again.
