MFC MEMBERSHIP - SEASON 2015

[CBDees 3,162]

As we started life as the Melbourne Cricket Club Football Club (MCCFC) we should increase our MCC subs by $50 per annum and automatically include all MCC members in the MFC total. This would give us the largest football club membership in the Southern Hemisphere (in any code)!

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

They way we are going be lucky to get 30k next year.

[H_T 2,941]

So we've lost members on last year, correct?

35,336

Correct.

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

The next 11 games will determine if we even get to 35 next year, if we only win one or two then we will struggle.

Six plus wins and things might look better next years tally.

And I believe that Gold members of the football club should be given a chance of becoming members of the cricket club to reward their loyalty.

Get on the phones this fortnight people - how long til the cut off date?

[Bitter but optimistic 21,487]

Richmond have just reached 70000 members. Will we ever see that number at MFC?

If you and Biff provide a post game entertainment package.

C & B as a MCC member there is no need to pay for MFC membership.

I do and most of my MCC-MelbourneFC supporting mates do as well. One of my sons the Melbourne supporter does not. ( He is o/s this year) The Richmond supporter (who cares) does not pay for RFC membership.

I would be surprised if an extra couple of thousand MCC members could not be persuaded to become MCC/MFC members.

All of my colleagues probably more than 20 have both MCC and MFC full membership or above

get the lads signed up, bbo

i'll bet they have plenty of cousins too and you know what hird mentality can do

Nope.

I think if we start winning and playing finals we will get around 55k regularly. Not much higher.

when is the close-off date, or have we reached it?

Not sure myself but am coming over for the Essendon and Brisbane games and wouldn't mind sitting with family and friends in the members area.

Would I be better off purchasing a three game membership for the 2 games?

I only have an interstate membership at the moment.

Essendon is an away game Ethan so it's not much value in that case.

interstate membership should get you admission to 5 home games in melbourne

no reserved seating but you could ask the club about this

Thanks mate, I'll look into it.

[daisycutter 28,677]

essendon game is an away game

don't expect a big crowd, bombers fans will stay away

can get general admission at gate for $25

check afl site for where ga tickets can sit (not optimal areas)

otherwise book online for ticket plus better seating

No - I think they will all be there with their "we stand by Hird" banners

maybe, but i doubt it. they stayed away in droves for the saints game last week

anyway, even with a reasonable turnout of bomber fans there will be no trouble getting ga tickets at the gate

i'll be buying a ga ticket

When did Jackson want 50,000 members by, again?

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

When we get merged with some other crap club.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,523]

Richmond have just reached 70000 members. Will we ever see that number at MFC?

So, the combined IQ of all Richmond members nearly equals the combined IQ of all Melbourne members. Is that the correct conclusion to make?

[Ethan Tremblay 28,504]

We should implement a new membership called the "sympathy" or "pity membership"

Many footy fans over here in the west don't mind us. I'm sure we could get a few to sign up.
