Demon4Life 603 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I sign up, and nag my folks to as well, once the first correspondence with a renewal form comes out every year. Also last year I managed to convert my 12-yr-old cousin from collingwood to melbourne, and am now working on his 6-yr-old younger brother.
_becks_ 35 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Paid up and proud. If you really care about this club and you have the means to then it is inexcusable to not be a member.
Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 [quote '4dees' That's right, 4Dees!!! I(and my family) will be proud to once again sit through a bad season as a staunch supporter,as in "65 to '87, with little or no joy. I'll watch the reigning premiers every year revel in ephemeral "bandwagon jumpers" patting them on the back. I'll know that when our day of glory arrives(should have been '87 or '90), we true supporters will really deserve the euphoria that a premiership would bring.(unlike the West Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide "new-chums", who have no idea what loyally following a Club through years, no, decades ,of thick and thin is all about.) In the mean-time, we'll have to go back to mid-nineties mode , and concentrate on the survival of our club as we know it. Every year we survive in our own right is a year of triumph. If you join up now, after this rotten start, you're showing the sort of loyalty we want!(though you should have joined earlier, now it is a real feather in your cap to make the commitment.)
Demon Tragic 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 AFL member with Melb club support Seems as though im the only one You're not on your own there. Best thing about AFL membership is seasons like this. I'll be able to catch some goods games for my troubles and the Dees still get their fair share.
demoniac 1,337 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Member since Squadron days in mid 70s. Currently 1 x Redlegs and 1 x AFL.
Guest Schtacker Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 wow I expected it to be high, but +95% so just who ARE these 250,000 supporters we supposedly have
deestroy08 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I'm an MCC member and to be honest with you (don't hate me), I haven't bought a 2008 MFC membership yet. This is the first year that I've had to buy my own and I will hopefully get around to it soon. Sadly, I do know quite a number of supporters who are in the same position as I am (age-wise and having to buy it themselves for the first time), who have not bought a membership and have no intention of doing so.
mikeod 21 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Am only a $40 MCC/MFC member - which would surprise some I guess. I decided it was better to buy a $40 membership for myself and 3 of my friends than the one full MCC/MFC membership. Adds 3 members to the tally and get the club the same amount of money.
Rogue 585 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 wow I expected it to be high, but +95% so just who ARE these 250,000 supporters we supposedly have It's not very surprising that the vast majority of visitors to this site are contributing financially to the Club.
Bring-Back-Powell 15,578 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 AFL member - Melbourne support package. Am that passionate about my club that I'll be going down to Skilled on Sunday to see another probable 100 point loss.
Ewok 9 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 AFL Member with club support since 88 (signed up GF day ) MFC member for about 8 years prior to that. In the next intake for MCC apparently (waiting list since 94)
Deeoldfart 8,205 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Absolutely!!! Lived in Canberra for last 40 years, but a Platinum member and proud of it.
mauriesy 7,445 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I've just chopped up my membership card and posted it back to the club in pieces.
redman 28 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I'm a redlegs member, thought the good access to finals tickets was a good enough reason... clearly not required this season
Tony Tea 2,816 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Have been an MCC member since 1982 and a Redlegs (or whatever it is called now) member since 1990. Update: Just checked the card. It's still Redlegs. Thought it might have been called Gold or Premier.
QLDEMON 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 paid up country membership, Brisbane game the one i usually get to. Got my uncle and grandma to sign up last 3 years as well
Demon Disciple 12,544 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 AFL member with Melb club support Seems as though im the only one Another AFL member with club support here too. Also direct member of the footy club with reserved seats in M16 (great seats). A total of 3 members in our household (other 2 same as me).
Gus 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Been a member for several years and currently a Trident Gold member - 4 members in my family.
jikajika 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Nah. Grew up in a small country town and hadda take a 10 year hiatus from Aussie Rules til I was able to forget all the miserable, bullying, chauvinist, hyper-blokey, pack-mentality shite that goes with country footy. If yr a country footy hero, well, you can't get away with murder, but you can certainly get away with rape. It's the kinda thing to turn a principled young buck off footy for... oh, about 10 years. But anyway. I'm back. And just in time too. I'll be lodging an application to become club president after this Gardiner bloke nicks off. In fact, I'll be lodging an application to become centre half back too. But to answer yr question: I'm not a member. Tried to buy a membership online, no good. Tried to buy a membership before the match against the Hawks, but I showed up at the G late in Q1 and although there were two Hawks tents not far off, there were no Demons tents in sight, so no good. I'll get around to it. I do attend every home game, unless I'm high, low, or flat out sideways.
Ballarat Demon 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 2 x adult 3 x kids could have country member ship but have normal 2 x ballarat demons member ship 3 x birthday club for kids
