I just recieved a reminder SMS to buy my membership prior to end Dec ... But the strange this was it says it comes from StKildaFC!!!

I can only presume they all use a company to send these out. I just hope they dont mix up the databases.

Ha ha ha Just recieved a resend now from the "MELBOURNE fc" reckon somone got a smack over the head.

Haha!

Got the same message and laughed out loud - attracting attention from the rest of the office...

Haven't got the resend yet

Message Media in my building do the St Kilda footy club, so its probably them.

They text the players updates of training venues and times. It's a pity they don't fill in the key supporters on this forum who would like to watch training, but get shafted with late changes and end up going to the wrong venue.

This happens because the AFL run both the MFC and ST Kilda Membership Departmants

What?

What?

The AFL now has most* of the Victorian clubs membership departments run from AFL House in Docklands...

*I believe...

it is only us and the saints who have gone cap in hand to the AFL no other clubs

I'm not actually sure thats the case... I certainly know at the very least that the AFL have pretty much standardised all the membership packs of clubs - you'll find they are all almost exactly the same these days...

If they haven't got more than MFC and StK they will keep trying to get the others.

And the AFL don't run the membership departments.

The memberships are run by the clubs from within the clubs office.

However, AFL Membership, Bulldogs, St Kilda, Kangaroos and Melbourne base their processing of memberships, card printing and call centres now at AFL House.

Each have their own goals, but work similarly in the same environment.

I beleive this makes the process a fair bit cheaper as they share a card printing machine, printers etc.

Also, they hire lots of young trainees, and they are cheap.

That was the impression I was under Robbo - I knew it wasn't just Melbourne and the Saints in any case.

It is much cheaper certainly.
