so Collingwood supporters are paying $50 for a 1 game membership?

The supporters aren't paying for it. It's the poor unsuspecting people who have their stuff stolen to pay for the Collingwood supporters membership

And we are doing exactly the same thing

It's called the Allannah & Madeline m'ship. It gets you into one game for $50

So don't go whacking the Pies...

Or scoffing Tiger fans  :whistle


The AFL requires that $50 is spent in some kind of membership package for it to count officially as a membership. That minimum spend figure has been reduced in recent seasons. Some clubs sell one-game "memberships" in packages that might also include club apparel while others do not offer one-game "memberships" and quietly scoff at the notion.

Why? Don't think some people can't make any games but would contribute if there was a one game membership they could buy?

Exactly, club have listened and now they offer a real membership at a reasonable price for those who genuinely cannot get to games which as an extra has its proceeds going to a very important charity

Well done RFC  :clapping :clapping

I thought the $85 3 game membership was for the people who couldn't get to games.

Originally it was

But after a lot of feedback from people who couldn't get to games and others who said they needed to offer something else  ;) they introduced the AMF membership last year

They've retained and tweaked it for 2015 by adding the entry to one home game as part of it.

As I said well done RFC, they've listened and will reap the benefits of it

If they want people to actually buy it, it needs to be called the Richmond 1 game membership (with all proceeds going to the AMF), the fact it's called the AMF membership is a tad misleading

Should just be a one game membership full stop, without forcing people to donate to a charity they may not wish to.

I like the idea, if you live hours from anywhere the side plays one game could easily be all you can make.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

no ones forcing anybody, rather than scunge a membership privilege on the back of a one game option, perhaps just buy a GA ticket  ::)
