At an MFC function launching the President's Club tonight Jimmy Stynes said he wants to make 4 announcements before the start of the season:

(i) the deal with Casey Council;

(ii) an agreement with the Melbourne Cricket Club re the future;

(iii) the club's major sponsor (up to the last week there were about 3 options including dual sponsors, now a couple more have emerged); and

(iv) the #1 ticket holder.

Should be an interesting 2 to 3 weeks ahead.

Regarding the number 1 ticket holder i would not be suprised if thats where Hamish Blake comes into the picture

Can't wait for both the mcc/Mfc deal to be announced, and also for the major sponsor/s. Also have to agree Hamish could just well be the number one ticket holder.

Would like to read he will have 4 announcements not wants to.

No 1 ticket holder Diamond Joe

I sincerely hope that Hamish Blake is NOT our number 1 tickets holder.

Someone that actually knows SOMETHING about the game, and perhaps does SOMETHING to actively promote the club would be better.

Regarding the number 1 ticket holder i would not be suprised if thats where Hamish Blake comes into the picture

Stynes said at Youth Summit that Blake would definitely not hold this role as Hamish felt uncomfortable in this role being a casual supporter.

Which I'd say is fair enough. Good on him for agreeing to help out at all if thats the case.

What are the chances that most of that will be announced on the Footy Show? 5-4.

The other important announcement that Cameron Schwab spoke about at the AGM was a deal with the Melbourne City Council that would involve Red and Blue all over the CBD.

Does anybody know what's happening with this?

Re announcement with MCC -told you so!

Was thinking the same thing, big exposure on the night for us, oh well, one can hope.

This is all sounding good. What else happened at the meeting last night? I am considering joining the Presidents club, what better way to keep in touch with the workings of the club than to be able to speak personally to the El Presidente every fortnight.

We're two-thirds of the way through the month and two out of four are ticked off:

(iii) major sponsor (x 2!!) = Hankook and Kaspersky Lab

(iv) #1 ticketholder = RD Barassi

Hope there's announcements on (i) and (ii) before the month's out.
