Full MCC and MFC Member ($160 Package) which is purely a donation so i recieve club emails!

Same, but don't mind the texts on selection, the stickers for the car, the poor quality scarf, and the self-satisfied feeling of being a paid up member through the last decade of sh!ttiness.

Same here Pipes. Love my MCC membership and up until this year was getting very good use out of it. Always signed up as an MCC/MFC member. How could I not!

I am an MCC member and I also take the MFC membership. With the proviso that one is financially able , I see my MCC membership as a payment for easy walk up to games, good seats, good view and access to finals and the Grand Final. I see my MFC membership as giving money to watch the club I love play.

Mate we are still trying to work out how to keep this one in one piece!

Actually it is funny rnd 1 I had the little boy at the gws game and took plenty of pics of him in his Dees gear. All the boys got stuck in with 'child abuse", "DHS will be around later to take him away from you". They are not laughing now!!!

I wonder how many Essendon supporting MCC members also buy an EFC membership. Signficantly less would be my guess.

Do MCC get access to Docklands? EFC supporters may need to buy a membership considering their home games at Docklands.

This weekend is Essendon's first game at Etihad for the year whilst we have already played a "home" game there against the Saints who have it as their 'home' ground! Go figure!

Plus 3 I just ordered for family (whether they like it or not).

[Pates 9,536]

We win this week then 40k is on the cards but we're now at the point of 95% of those who wanted to sign on have done so. 

I wonder if the club could offer some kind of incentive of first time members get a 10% discount off next years membership if they sign on now. Might get people thinking further ahead.

I'm an MCC member and MFC member. I get nothing for the MFC membership - it is purely donation. I don't even pick up the scarf! 

The fact that almost 50% of MCC members buy MFC memberships when they get nothing for it is pretty amazing and is a credit to our wonderful supporter base who have largely stuck by the club in the last decade.

With every passing home game an MFC membership becomes less value for money. So unfortunately, I don't reckon we'll crack 40k this year.

I don't understand you get nothing for it all we get is a scarf and a sticker.

Thank god for you Robbie - that membership tally reminded me of Jeremy Howe. Now I can move on.

We went up around 1500 from this time last year to the cutoff.

I think we will make 40k.

[Its Time for Another 4,052]

38,102 this Friday, 37,766 last Friday. Increase of 336 for the week. There are 7 weeks left to membership cut off. At the last week's increase that will be another 2,352 so we would crack the 40,000. Obviously the rate of sign up's will drastically slow in the last month so will be touch and go. Bring on another win on the weekend and the chocks might start to shift from under the bandwagons wheels. 

 

 

[Dr. Gonzo 22,412]

Any idea what the other clubs numbers are?

[Its Time for Another 4,052]

Bulldogs   35,487

Saints.       37,206

Norf.          42,760

North have 42,000 members? Wow. I wouldn't have thought there'd be more than 35,000 North, even in years that they've been playing finals.

[spirit of norm smith 12,886]

I would think 98% of those who are true supporters are all on board.  40,000 is possible but unlikely.

If you still need convincing that the MFC is on the rise, a win over the Bulldogs would have to satisfy.

I'd say playing in Tassie has bumped that number up by a few thousand.
