The Tribal Council has Spoken - RFC Membership 2006

[Moi]

The lovely Rachel told me today that because i'm a gold member, components of that package are still being shipped in from o/s - hmmm I believe you lol
I will get my membership card in the mail prior to the season but may have to wait on all the goodies.
Don't need tickets for the preseason any more, which is another rip off - remembering we used to get all these games for nothing on our membership and just paid for finals games.
Oh well, i'll patiently wait as always lol

Does it depend on who you talk to and what day it is as to what reason you get?  I was told that because I have a Social club membership as well that was the reason for the delay. 

So far, it's the fault of the gold memberships, the social club members  the we paid lots of money memberships, and some other categories that I've forgotten that are causing the delays?

Clear as mud.

The only thing that is really clear is that we still aint got our memberships.

With hardly any publicity the figures look alright - big test will be after the NAB cup (especially after we win ) to see what impact that has.

my bro just renewed his membership yesterday, he told me last night. he has a family of 5 so u can add 5 more to that figure

[PuntRdRoar]

we are only a couple of hundred behind last year. we're going fine imho. we need a nice 6 or 7 goal win over the hawks to keep up the momentum.

[one-eyed]

Only 100 down on ticketed members from the same time last year so pretty much even stevens.

Interesting that we are ahead in non-ticketed members

Hopefully things willpick up after this Saturday's NAB cup game

[mightytiges]

Do we still have the issue that was brought up when Rex was found not to be a member of someone donating a significant amount of money to the club yet it not counting as a ticketed membership because there's no game entry component?

[PuntRdRoar]

I would of thought that the membership no's are going ok for now...it would be good if we were over 20,000 ticketed by friday night.

Was said at the time it would be fixed MT. No idea if it has been but you'd hope club membership would be a certainty for putting up big money.

I think the whole ticketing break up is an issue (I'll just go and crank up the turntable so I can play that broken record). 
Let's see.....an example......oh, I know - an MCC member pays the yearly subscription but wants to also contribute to the club and be a club member. MCC Tigers sounds ok, $139 for entry to 4 TD home games, steep but at least you're a Richmond member.
Hold the phone....you find you're called a "non-ticketed" member because you don't have access to finals tickets.....as far as "official" membership figures are concerned you are not included....some kind of claytons member. Insulting rubbish. 

The AFL have made the rule yet all other clubs seem to package their memberships to get around it. (or they ignore it)

Ridiculous isn't it

Is it also non-ticketed because it allows entry to only 4 games. I remember reading somewhere that the AFL placed a 5 match minimum for a membership to be classed as ticketed. Is/was our blockbuster (5 game) membership classed as ticketed? 

[Moi]

A week later, still waiting for membership
