There's usually someone who congratulates a first poster when their post is a goodie. Allow me to jump in: Well done and welcome PD.

one thing ive always wondered is why we dont offer away game reserved seating packages for Redleg, Trident or Legends members to games at the g or etihad like some other clubs do?

id happily pay another $100-150 a season for it and it would be great to have a dedicated section of bays with all Dees supporters.

considering we have our substitute home games due to the NT deal and our home game at etihad without a dedicated seat i thought this would have been a given and would boost membership revenue by around 500,000 with a 3000-4000 uptake

Anyone see Gawn on 360? Said the next 1000 members to sign up get a New Balance voucher (I think it was $70?) May offset the cost of a 3 game membership if you want to spend it on a new pair of shoes.

Just got the email this week from the club for 70% off from New Balance.  I certainly have saved more than my membership cost with a couple of pairs of shoes and a new pair of Footy boots.

I was sitting in the Southern stand on Sunday night and there was a very definite Demon presence coming from the entire Northern stand which was tremendous.

Yep like being at a revivalist meeting except we were worshipping the Demons. Come to think of it, it  is ok to worship Shiva.

Uhm don't know if I'm the only one but I can't see any Dees gear on the site now. Old mate who sits next to me at work bought Dees gear yesterday. Appears sold out on Dees gear... I have email the club.

I was in that stand, and looking at the members/Northern stand was a great sight. 

Even better when Razor Ray made a blue early on with a decision and the entire stand went up in unison to vent. 

Water off a duck's back with Razor. He even had the cheek to demand a water bottle from a MFC trainer for a swig.

That is a little unfair to Bugg as he can actually do his job fairly well, something Ray simply can't. 

[hells bells 2,023]

Just added 3 more. Renewed myself and my two boys.  Go Dees!!

true, and he's better looking too 

comparison was more about getting under people's skin, showboating and being a cocky little bugger..... beyond that chalk and cheese

[CBDees 3,167]

While the momentum is there, this post is merely to keep this thread at the top of the first page to motivate my fellow Demonlanders!

[daisycutter 29,740]

still creeping up

[H_T 3,049]

If we can be close to 39,000 by the lead up to the Bulldogs game, I reckon we could get there! 

The latest marketing tool should help too - "Race to Renew", which Maxy announced on 360.

Received the below in an email from the club earlier this week.  Not quite reserved seats but sitting with all Dees supporters. 

Do I have access to my reserved seat?
Reserved seat members do not have access to a reserved seat at this game, however there will be areas within the ground that you will simply be able to show your 2016 membership card and sit amongst other Melbourne members. These bays are on the wing on Level 1, aisles 36/37 and 37/38.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

I bought my Ticketmaster Reserved seat quoting my barcode I am in Aisle 34 level 1

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Need to keep winning games, pretty simple really

I'm assuming that specific to this weeks game rather than "away" games at the G?

I tend to avoid our away games at the G these days as I don't really want to be stuck with the opposition supporter or behind the goals. If there was this Level 1 wing area I'd probably start making my way in again.

[PaulRB 6,411]

I wonder how many unique memberships we've had over past 5 years, I.e. People who were members in 2013 but dropped off. 

I imagine it would be well over 40,000 and that the key this year is to win them all back, again...

Does anyone know the extent the MFC membership team trawl through the "lapsed members" list?

Ticking up nicely.

Re the New Balance 70% offer. Does anyone know if that's available to MFC/MCC Premium members?
