2010 Membership - "Yellow & Black - Feel it. Live it. Love it"

[Hellenic Tiger]

Who on OER has a reserved seat on the 2nd level in the Olympic Stand with their membership this season?

I finally upgraded and decided to get a reserved seat for this season.

[WilliamPowell]

yes, renewed before cut off (my wife got her seat and guess who paid for that at the same time!) and yes will see them tomorrow. They only arrived today and I discovered the cock up when I arrived home from
 work tonight.

every year i hear of at least one stuff up like this

Must say if they did that to me I would be ropeable. Hopefully they haven't allocated it elsewhere and all will be good.
The caps last year were probably the best of the lot over the years, but nothing to write home about.
How much more would it cost to make them in that climacool elastic stuff so they fit and look good. Not much I'd dare say.
Got my stuff today, must say the scarf is OK even though I don't wear them and allready have the other in the backseat of the car.

NB: Noticed I have just notched up 30 years - 20 more for yellow and black and a finals gaurentee (Make it just in time hopefully) 

Oh and welcome to the Southern stand Jack

Agree CUB last years caps were great probably the best in a while hence I will be more than happy to wear it to the footy again this year as I do on days when I hide my hair.
The 2009 Gold member cap did not feel cluttered and just looked great with just the right amount of yellow.

I loved the 2004 cap too and had that for everyday use for years until I forgot it in the dressing rooms after playing soccer and never saw it again.

Have to say I wont be using the scraf - it's average (best scarf they've had was the one for the centenary year)

When I do take a scarf I take Ma Powell's scarf (yep I am sentimental old fool). 

As for a cap - I'll stick to the Reebok one I bought at the end of 2009 for $15

Got to say for the life of me I don't know whay they don't approach Reebok and try and get somethng through them. Great for kids = a brand name and great for Reebok = brand exposure

A quick question - when and where is the 'Cocktail Party' this year?

No date for it yet Stripes

They usually don't announce the date until about six weeks out for the actual event.

I didn't go last year so I can't remember when they had it

But for (my very poor) memory it's usually sometime between May & July....

What, June?   

The cocktail party last year was July 22.

Thanks WP and Fishfinger!  Looking forward to attending.

In November I purchased 3 memberships with 2 being reserved seats memberships.
Today in the mail I received:-
2 memberships, my sons didn't arrive
one reserved seat membership, one standard membership (I have a receipt that shows payment for  2 reserved seats).
And to rub salt in the wound, they have me as a first year member not 19 th year!

The one that really rankles is losing my reserved seat which I have had for 14 consecutive years and stuffn paid for nearly 3 months ago.

stuffn thanks Tiges!

Thats a huge kick in the guts when loyal supporters cop that kind of treatment 

[Smokey]

Got mine today so at least I know I can get in to the first game for nix!  And booked my accommodation for that weekend today as well - it suddenly seems much closer.   

[mightytiges]

I expected somthing branded with RFC or Tigers, but the cap, and the stickers, are branded, "Yellow and Black".  It's not a winner.

Someone should be asking marketing the hard question.

What were they thinking?

After last year it might have been a deliberate ploy to avoid any mention of the RFC
