The only reason to jump off is if you believe the club is doing something unethical or if it's a protest vote against the Board.

Bartlett seems to be having a red hot dip and whilst they've made some mistakes - not just this year but in years leading up to this year - I think they are well worth sticking with.

It's a crucial time to support the club because our best chance of sustained success and finally leaving the rubbish of the last decade behind us is investing in this current playing group and investing in getting a proper home base. 

Jump off now and you're pretty much saying you want to see the club fall back in to the awful ways of 2007-2014. I know this year has been like that but it's a one off if we snap out of it.

We'll  only know the club is having a red hot dip at fixing this shizen shambles AFTER its  had this 'said' go and we see one effect...i.e...heads on stix might be a start...but in seriousness. ..only when we see new  fabric.

Until then same same. 

The club owes us nothing...and guess what..we owe IT nothing.

The thought of not renewing has never crossed my mind.

My husband, daughter and dog will also get their membership renewed again. My parents and grandparents would roll over in their graves if I ever stopped being a member of the MFC. I think I would be haunted forever.

Good for you Jane. A true, dedicated supporter. I have been a Dees supporter all my life and that's 71years.  I don't know what has happened this year but I look forward to us being a dominant team next season. We DO have a talented list despite what some may say.

Can those who do not to choose to renew their memberships maybe also take a rest from demonland for 2020 too please? Maybe if things get better next year, you can come back to both the MFC and demonland in 2021?

I’m just as tired of the same rants in most topics by the same protagonists as I am watching the team I love and I just want 2019 to finish. However reading the posts in this topic by frustrated but largely LOYAL demons has been a nice change from the usual posts. Thanks all.

3 of my 4 kids who have just got mcc memberships and have been MFC members all 17-20 years of their lives want to give up now that they have to pay for it. I told them that it’s cheaper to by a MFC add on membership than leave the family house and live somewhere else - so it guess its their choice now! 

As an international supporter now I can't get to games (maybe 1 a year). I've taken out a membership every year since I left Australia to support the club and this year I foolishly (in hindsight) upgraded to a premium (guaranteed GF) ticket as a result of 2018. I will definitely be downgrading the membership next year but I think I'm done financially supporting this club at all considering the meager offerings of joy that I receive in return.

I purchase an annual subscription to this site every year and make the odd donation but have decided not to renew my families memberships next season(my kids aren’t old enough to disagree, if they were and wanted to sign up I would in a heartbeat). If I want to post on here I will. There’s also plenty of posters on here that aren’t members of the club, it’s their decision and I’d never suggest they don’t post on here.

I dropped my MCC membership a few years after moving interstate, really wish I hadn’t.

I'll buy an 11 game membership next year, because that is what I do. I am too far invested in the club to back out now.

Having said that, if the club is going to continue to serve up the 2012/13 era quality of football that we copped this year, I expect to be paying 2012/13 membership prices next year. This year's price increase for long suffering members was a disgrace.

Funny how this has turned into a thread for renewal virtue signaling

Sure sounds like this is the Last Goodbye for some members.

Have already canceled auto renewal. Live in NZ now and after 15 years of futility I won’t sign up until after first 6 games.
