i think collingwoods membership is fos and manufactured
they do not have 70kplus real members
Like it or not they do, they sell alot for those 3 game memberships.
Plus they sell a fair few 16 or in their case 17 game memberships because they offer something that I reckon is a great idea and that's reserved seats for away games. Hence, their members have the same reserved at the MCG for every game. Extremely popular!!
Been saying it for yonks RFC should look at doing it too
Is there a reason we don't have reserved seats for Away games at the G? Is this a question for RFCO?
I have asked so many times. Been told that it's too cost inhibited for a couple of reasons
1/ with the amount of work involved because we would not be able to have the same reserve seats for MCG away games as we do for home games.
2/ Club not sure they'd be able to sell them all as they would need to buy a block
Now before anyone asks "why" regarding point 1. Just go back to Mr Tigra's complaints about the Saints cheersquad and members having the Punt Road end last week when the MCG is our home. That's why other clubs outside the Pies use the Punt Road end for their home games.
As for point 2 - easy way for the Club to do it is to organise a block of say 2000 seats in say the Ponsford stand and then offer them in a first in first served basis and see how quickly they go. Actually for those with 3121 or other Coterie m'ships just included it as an option and I reckon they will be gone in a flash
