[1 red eye 1 blue eye 759]

I opted for the don't worry about sending me the goodie pack.

[daisycutter 28,640]

They are all on the way to the bin DC as soon as I finish here.

Well except the 2010 version I need one for this year and the pictures of the new one do not fill me with glee.

Mrs OD will be wrapped.

However if we have a another 2011 year I am coming to get you DC

haha, no chance of another 186 with bails gone................................or is there?............hmmmmmmmmmm

[Red and Blue Flame 142]

yeah the scarves are great, but maybe we could get something else this year?

[Bluelegs 36]

Far too logical...Women think like that!!!

You're absolutely right, the idea wasn't my own but one of my mates, she's crafty like that.

Now I am worried by your indecision!

Perhaps I should get the scarves out of the BIn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took the initiative and renewed myself last October.

Good for you.

Anyone out there that was a member last year NOT received a membership renewal pack??

This http://membership.melbournefc.com.au/News/Are-you-a-Hardcore-Demon/174 posted on the membership site today plus the new banner on the main page: HARD WORK, HARD MINDS, HARDCORE DEMONS JOIN NOW. Looks like they are ready to step up this years membership drive.

Good for you.

Did you renew for 2012 before Christmas ? If so, I'd contact the club. Contact the club anyway.

Bit of a concern we've slipped behind last years tally. I can't see us pushing 40,000 til we start performing on the park.

Given the numbers J-Riv and the apparent ~2000 behind, whilst I'm more often an optimist, I think unless there is a momentum swing such as a string of good wins, a membership push, and a massive uptake in membership - 35,000 looks about it at this stage.

Hate to agree with you ...... maybe 37500 .... but 40000 might be stretching it.

We have a relatively old group of members. People are going to keep dropping off the end so its going to take a fundamental lift in our on-field performance to achieve consistent growth.

We really need that big FOJ sponsor to kick along our revenues

I struggle with 35000.

We are well behind last year and I cannot see it being made up.

We need to win on Saturday and win the first 4 games to make last years tally let alone 40 000

Our first half draw is a lot tougher than the second half so our win loss ratio ( when memberships have to be sold ) will be poor.

That figure is a pipe dream unless we start performing on the field.

I good 2012 IMO 12+ wins would give the wavering supporters hope of a good year in 2013

My prediction 32496.

PS we should run a contest like last year to pick the final number.

[drdrake 3,047]

We have stalled, we have no chance for 40,000 and will be lucky to pass 35,000

[BarrassHarrass 25]

Does anyone know if we are doing a membership campaign on TV or on radio. Heard heaps of other clubs have days on SEN. Nothing from us though. Pretty poor marketing

[Hells Gates 505]

The Club is to blame for this stall in Memberships.

A week or two ago I posted here in regards to doing my bit for the club. (See my post earlier).

I contacted the club in regards to voluntarily going out of my way in my time off to go out and chase new members which we have potential for here in Darwin. I also mentioned to them that quite a few members didn't receive membership renewal packs this year and suggested that this figure could very well be in the thousands. The club thanked me for my support and thought it was a great idea for me to chase new members up here and they would get back to me with an action plan.

A couple of weeks have past and numerous emails to the club (approx 5) and still they wont get back to me!!

There is only so much I will take and to be honest the novelty has now worn off and I have no desire to help out as the club has made no intention to contact me back. Its this type of attitude from the club that will drive members away and fail to attract fresh blood.

Sorry to be negative but this is where our club is at and its a long road ahead.

Cheers.

The membership tally has been making me nervous, so I've just signed up my niece & nephew. I've a sneaking suspicion that I'll get in trouble for it, my brother and sister in law are Tigers and Pies fans. But they're not members so hopefully their lack of effort will be to my advantage. Add in a Birthday Club each, how could I go wrong?

My Dad's getting married next month. I wonder if I should sign up his fiance?

[BarrassHarrass 25]

Mmemberships listed at 27,868 as of today. A slight jump. Does anyone believe that the events of yesterday will help membership numbers?

[Samsara 65]

I think it will lead to an increase in numbers, and I wouldn't be surprised if some non-MFC supporters buy a membership even.

[BarrassHarrass 25]

I know that it is far too early, but club must sell Jimmy's message. Its what he would have wanted. Its his dream to see us strong. I will ring every non member and/or members who have not renewed after Tuesday next week for free. After work. I wanna see us achieve the 40k.

Still much too early, but i agree that the club needs to get on the front foot and drive Jim's endeavour hard. Wait a week for the dust to settle, then strongly campaign that it was Jimmy who wanted to see us reach 40,000 members. Honour him by helping the MFC reach 40,000. If you haven't signed up, then now is the time to do so.
