Will WE be part of MFC 150th celebrations?

[TonyMelb 7]

As a die hard Demon family we are all looking forward to participating in some special events to mark the MFC reaching its 150th year milestone.

I only hope that we are able to join into whatever the MFC has planned!!

MFC corporate email received last night included the following invitation to a Gala Dinner in June -

MELBOURNEfc 150 Heroes Dinner

Join us for this Gala Dinner, where we will announce the Club's 150 greatest players of all time. The opportunity for every guest to mingle with the Club greats throughout the evening.

Date: Saturday 7th June 2008

Venue: Palladium at Crown, Melbourne

Time: 7.00pm

Inclusions: Three-course dining, first class entertainment & 150th anniversary commemorative gift for each guest

Cost: $500.00 per person

Would be wonderful to be part of such a night to honour the MFC's best 150 players of all time.

But at $500 a head how many of us true red & blue Demons will be able to participate?? Very few I doubt.

I hope the whole focus of the 150th plans are not targeting the mulit millionaires and corporates only.

NOTE: We are happy to wait and keen to see what the MFC program is for the year but would like to know soon so are assured.

That is a lot of money. It's clear that the club is catering for a certain group of people.

its a lot of money of which i cant afford. Struggeling enough with rent and petrol that that sort of $ is ridiculous and a expenditures not worthwhile. On the other hand, melb are a struggeling team finantually so if they can charge that much and fill up the room then im all for it
