Invitation from Matthew Lloyd

[TonyMelb 7]

I have received an Invitation from Matthew Lloyd to sign up membership of Essendon FC!! Any one else get one?

Addressed to me by name as a "keen Bomber supporter", I find that insulting as I hate them particularly after 2000 GF!!

How the hell did my name get on a Bomber mailing list???

I know I have nearly ran Lloydy over a couple of times - he was a bit slow and kept walking in front of my car while in rehab!

My friends who support the EFC would not even give them my name a a joke as I am 2nd generation lifelong Demons supporter.

##### rude !!! I have to get me name off that list ASAP. Dont want to be linked to one of the cellar dwellers.

I am also letting MFC know.

Maybe Bombers having snagged Mel Michael are going poaching other clubs members???

how much are they paying you to join?

[Tassie Devil 28]

Let's hope they did a massive mail-out that costs them a fair bit for no return.

[Jaded No More 68,915]

I thought I was the only one!

It was a very formal letter, and it was addressed to me. I don't know how they got hold of my name.

Needless to say I spat on it, tore it up and threw it in the bin. Ugh, I felt dirty for just having read it.

[brey9186 102]

people can buy mailing lists of names, addys, phone numbers ect off certain companys, you may have filled in a free raffle or somthing, thats how they make their money

[deeangel 2]

Yes -I got one too! Very annoyed with it.

Is it 3 mobile phone the connection between all of us?

I'm not satisfied you did enough!

It's not like it's a total fire ban or anything.

Nope. I'm with Optus, and I haven't received any letters asking me to donate to the 'rebuilding fund of Princess Park', or to join the CFC.

I'm really interested to know how they got hold of our names

If there is a reply paid envelope in there, put all the crap in there & send it back. That way they have to pay for the return mail as well.

[WonnaJurah 5]

i got sent one for the lions as well,saying we would love to have you on board

i made confetti out of that letter

[Big Kev 369]

I got a letter and an E-mail. Until now I thought it was one of my mates who is a Bumber supporter (or Ash32).

[TonyMelb 7]

Nope its not that! I have telstra mobile and optus home phone so is not 3!

If I knew which house was Matty Lloyd's I could have stuffed them in his mail box last night!! Wouldnt be seen with their mail in daylight!!!

I like the idea of sending mail back to bummers without stamp !!

We are everywhere. We're bigger than the UN.

You guys are lucky you just got a letter about membership, if we really don't like you, you could wake up with a horses head in your bed.

Yes I got one to. I'm not even with 3. I was shocked and thought how did they get my details. I actually rang the number to there client services department and said I have no idea how you got my name but I don't even barrack for Essendon. They then took me off the database. They are the club I hate the most and I hate Lloyd so much. I couldn't believe it. They wasted so much money sending out letters to the wrong people.

Gold!

I just got an email as well!

[conebone69 0]

yeh i got that letter and an email....i replied to the email asking how they got my personal details and also let it slip that i was a dees member and they couldnt pay me to be a bummer!

they called me a 'passionate bommer fan'.....that made me want to throw up!

i wonder if they know that they are sending this crap to supporters of other clubs?

maybe it has something to do with where you live...im in essendon...maybe thats why?? but then why didnt anyone else in my family get one?

[deeangel 2]

Should we let our membership department know there is an email/letter war out there? Maybe the press might be interested as well. What do we think? I am still annoyed 3 days later.

Is everyone giving their details to bomber blitz? in order to participate in the forum. then they would be mailing stuff to u?

[Rogue 585]

I'm sure the MFC staff have NOTHING better to do than hear about how Essendon sent you some promo material

Unless Essendon somehow got MFC member details and decided to send out letters to them - which would stupid and not just in a business sense - I doubt they'd care.

What's the common thread with you guys? Someone suggested the forum but I find it odd you'd give your address when signing up on a forum, although it could be just me =p

From Sydney

I have never received anything personally from the swans to join up to their club

But in the Daily Telegraph the only AFL news they report on is Sydney Swans, and purchase a 3 ticket pass to Telstra Stadium to watch the swans

But thankfully, I can get AFL news via big footy, hearld sun and news about the demons from this website

they got the our information from ticketmaster.....

I take it you know this as fact?

Did any of you guys tick the box (assuming you book on-line) that you agree to receive promotional material? That is code for telling them (Ticketmaster) to sell your personal details to any trustworthy organisation that has something to sell you that you don't want. You'll have to tell them to de-list you (something seekers and most other posters here wish essendon had done to Heff before we traded for him).

they also sent me a email so i replied to that and asked how essendonfc got my details..

last year when melb played essendon at TD i remember that we werent able to buy tickets at the gate or something so i was forced to use ticketmaster...im assuming thats when they got my details....however i dont recall clicking any boxes as i hate getting those 'promotional emails'
