I went down to PP and renewed my membership today.

FWIW . . . The guy from the membership department said we're about 20k atm.

He's spot on. We're about 20,000.

20,000 short of where we need to be. :lol:

Haha, when attending the First Bounce a couple of years ago :shock:

I picked up the tip about ticking the box to be a Bullants Member for an extra $5. Well, I finally did it this year and my Bullants Membership has arrived in the post, but not my Carlton Membership.

:lol:

I told my tutor last night I wouldn't be able to make it to Monday's class.

"Got something on?"

"Yep, a meeting"

"For work?"

"No, the Carlton FC AGM"

"I'd be there too but I'm not a member!!"

"Then get one!"

"They're about $480 aren't they?"

"Social 11 is $180 with concession..."

"OK - Sold!"

:-D

I thought encouraging unconventional marketing techniques was un-Carlton-like

Got my membership goodies in the mail today.

Geez, Kouta is looking a bit second hand on the cover of the Club Lifestyle brochure â€¦ a big night the night before the photo shoot maybe?!

Got mine too. I got my membership card before the Port game & the goodies came yesterday.

Good on the club for bringing back the meter on the web page!

It takes balls to do that when everyone's writing your numbers off this year already......

19133 as at 17/03/06. Carlton members are perennially late resigning so hopefully there is a surge in the next few weeks, especially after our 1st home game in Rd.3
Still tracking a little low unfortunately

I understand the sentiment but is it really voting with your feet? Isn't it voting in short term anger? I just can't see how not signing up helps anything, apart from frustration and a fe whundred bucks.

The Club simply can't afford for many of us not to sign up.

It would be interesting to see what type of memberships arent renewing.

is it your normal silver 11 home game member? or is it your higher social club 17 game membership?

Im once again a social 17 member however, at times i question why i am.

Its not the performance that concerns me, well it does, but aslong as i can afford to get membership i will, but from what happened last year there isnt any real benefit to being a social club member like there was when we where at OO.

Last year i was social 17 and gen blue member - gen blue was a joke, i went to one event and that was the Pre OO Last Game and it was okay and i got a cool stubby holder but far more imo needs to be done regards membership.

IMO - the club has to make massive strides over the next few years to improve the membership becuase at the moment we are miles behind what others are getting.

And it may be selfish or not - but for $460 bucks i expect more than what im currently getting. It gets a little tiring to hear constantly, the club needs you, you should get membership regardless, and to a certain extent i agree, however, there has to be benefit to the members putting up their hard earned.

We had a great social club at OO - can we reproduce that? I dont know, i dont think we need to as no matter what we do it wont be as good as what we had at OO - however, something has to improve greatly IMO - at the moment, they only reason anyone has to be a member of the club is their loyalty to it.

an example - the social club member token - what a flower embarresment. Change the "06" Its flower a disgrace. My brother in law has been a Collingwood Social Club for years, and he has each token he has set up in a display case and it looks awesome, he has been a member for 10 or so years and has done the case in such a way that he can continue to add to it with his "yearly" social club member token.

What can i do, get my nose peirced and put it there. Its little thinks like that, that are just a joke. @#$%&!, make some money out of it. I would gladly pay $5 - $10 extra a year if it meant i got a unique social club token every year that i could set up in a similair fashion to what my brother in law has.

quite frankly, what we get as members, just isnt good enough.
