Season 6- Memberships

[Jesus]

Spot on - our early season crowds were actually better than similar times in previous seasons.

We dont usually start with scum and bling at home.

Though both of these games would have got higher crowds if post nrl season IMO

We didnt get any favours from the League in scheduling some of the games. Derby matches should be scheduled to ensure maximum attendance  - so not clashing with NRL should be something they look at.

Either scum or bling should be our NYE opponents as well, as happened in season 1. Maybe the club should put a bit of pressure on the HAL to ensure this happens.

The club should get good crowds to scum/bling regardless and have been using NYE as more of an "event".

Good crowds are likely regardless of who you play.

however.......................if the team is going shit, no one wants to go

Get a winning team and people will go

SFC being the exception of course. No one goes regardless.

To be fair, the wheels falling off the team probably had little to do with whether we were playing home or away.

I agree. My point was only about crowd numbers, not the reason for the wheels falling off. Crowd numbers near Christmas wouldn't have been helped by the wheels falling off.

 

[Arabmariner]

The huge gap in home games really hurt crowds though. Going to the football is a habit, allow casual attendees to get out of the habit and you have to work very hard to get them back.

Surely it can't be that f**kin hard to have most teams playing at home every second week,with allowances for the odd two on the trot.We only play half a season as it is ffs.

In our case no one else uses the place regularly so you'd think we'd have some say in how the joints used.

Good idea not to piss your landlord off though isnt it..........

Well we're just about the only c**ts using the place (apart from the odd motorbike or team of knuckledraggers) so stuff the landlord.

All home games to the new boutique stadium (hurry up and build it).......it'll be big enough to take our 3,000 crowds this season no problem.

3,000,rubbered,packed in under a roof,close enough for the players to hear the shouts................

Ever thought of emailing or phoning the club to ask?

Irrelevant to me until they clarify home game situation.

To quote from Fever Pitch, "they can f**king well f**king f**k off"

Indeed it does seem odd. Though if price remains the same, they should get similar home games.

If we were playing all home games at home, i would have had no trouble signing up as soon as last season started.

Why is it odd? I renewed my Dees membership (AFL) 2 weeks after the grand final in September last year. It's odd to me that you can only buy memberships from a few weeks before the start of the season.

Club emails said May as Mick pointed out.
