A good mate of mine, known as The Professor, has just racked up his 50th year in a row as a member of the Melbourne Football Club. He is also a member of the MCC and pays for a FULL MFC membership

The 50 years in a row has been acknowledged by the Club with a small cardboard certificate.

Are they kidding????

Am I wrong to think The Professor should have received something a little more than a pizzy little cardboard certificate.

How many punters would get to 50 years in a row as a member of any Football Club. Very very few.

Surely the Club could do a wee bit better.

Rant Over

yes that does sound like a rather pissweak thankyou from the club

50 years straight is phenomenal

Ordinary from the club, we need to be better than that.

Deserves the new Jack Watts showbag coming out this year.

More than that he deserves some sort of medallion and a free gin and tonic,next time he visits the members.A cheroot even.

But dont hold your breathe,you will probably sufficate.

At least a special scarf with 50 years embroided in gold leaf.

And a years supply of Panadeine.

maybe a year's supply of biffo's orange label viagra?

c'mon biffo, with all your profits it's a drop in the ocean

I suspect he should have his mental capability checked out.

Half a century of continuous membership!

Quite obviously there is something amiss here.

Perhaps free admittance for life and afternoon tea which is what the MCC give their 50 year members.

I'm guessing the recipient is not whinging as he is a fair dinkum Demon.

masochist

He deserves a win. I'm sure he would love that.

Pretty special too as they don't come round very often.

My uncle notched up 50 years as a full AFL member recently - Saved $60 on his grand final ticket but that's about it I think

I never knew AFL memberships had been around for 50 years.

Agreed! However we are a [censored] weak club! That is one of the reasons why!

Last I looked (which was a couple of years ago) it was about $15 per year for 50 year MCC members. Not far off free though.

If he wants a free cuppa,He will have to earn it.

OD has been a member for 103 years and even he doesnt get those privaliges.

I think cardboard is a fitting representation of what MFC have served up.

Three replies from old die hards that only have 145 years between them.

Actually I would have had 50 years if not for my employment overseas.

Women used to love a man (boy) in uniform.

It doesn't matter these days. They just don't give a toss.

Just a small amount of humour PD

If someone has been a member of the MFC for 50 years they most likely have the best sense of humour going around.

I have been a supporter since 1960 so that makes makes 64 years

but did not become a member till I came to live in Melbourne in the early 70's

Then I got in a huff a couple of times and let my membership lapse.

I quite often think I am a few cents short in the dollar especially over the last nine years.
