There has been considerable debate about the lack of publicity regarding the club's 150th birthday. What I cant believe is the lack of functions the club is hosting.
-Walk to the G on Queens Birthday game (free)
-150th dinner ($500 a head)
I would be very keen to go to the 150th dinner however being a uni studen means the $500 is too much, I simply cant justify spending that much on an event.
Others have said they would be prepared to fork out about $100-$250 which is my limit also.
My solution is to have more events which are targeted to different types of members.
The 150th dinner should be in the price range I outlined. MFC would get less per ticket sold but no doubt you would sell at least twice as many.
I dont have a problem with having an event that charges $500 a head but make it a smaller event which isn't the main event of the 150th celebrations. All it does is alienate the majority of supporters and results in a lot of empty seats when the event should be a sellout.
Correct me if I am wrong but does the club do business lunches? This would be a great opportunity to get supporters togeather to network but would benefit the club greatly.
-Club would make cash out of everyone that turns up
-get supporters involved in the club
-develop ideas and business opportunities for MFC whether it be sponership etc
