Did their membership survey

Gotta say it's got me nervous and a bit angry and struth it was painful to do

Throws up all these options for different packages but give you no option to simply say "like what ive got, keep as is"

Based on what it showed as suggested packages they are looking at for me to get exactly what i have now would cost me more than double what i pay now  :o

Be very careful RFC,

You have to choose an option from a list and then it says would you buy, I just kept selecting NO

Our [Hawthorn's] membership continues to grow and has now passed 74,000 and is on its way to this year’s target of 80,000. I believe we are second in terms of membership, but a long way behind Richmond who have shot past 90,000 without taking a breath.

The Tigers have well and truly been aroused after 37 years and might become the first club to hit 100,000 members. If so, a remarkable effort, unless of course we at Hawthorn beat them to that magical number!


http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2018-04-18/letter-to-members-a-quick-note

If they can't get there after 3 flags in a row, they never will.

I think the 3 peat has been underappreciated, it is a magnificent achievement and the fact that their membership is at 70k odd mark speaks volumes of the type of people that follow that club.

Majority of Hawthorn fans I know, and there is plenty of them are there for the good times and drop off like nobody's business when they lose.
Pathetic fan base really



Which one?

Hawthorn's supporters. Without a doubt.
Most Richmond supporters I know or have met are loyal or rusted on, not all but the majority.
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

Hopefully we are doing everything we possibly can to get to the 100,000 mark right now this year, there's never a better opportunity than right now, less than 10,000 off the mark and we can put pay to the Hawks and the Filth for good. Sign up all the kids, interstate supporters and as many international supporters as possible.

We're over 23k ahead of this time last year:

19/04/2018    90,896
19/04/2017    67,583

We added another 5k from this point in 2017. So we're on target for 96k by the official audited cut-off date (end of July IIRC).

We then added a further 3k past the cut-off date and into late September last year. If we go deep into September again then we could potentially crack 100k.

Be very careful RFC,

I haven't received the survey but a work colleague got it yesterday & we just completed it at work.

After talking to a mate who completed it when it first came out & comparing notes,I believe they have changed the survey completely.

The one we did didn't have any Membership options or $$$ at all, just a dozen or so very generic questions that took less than 5 minutes to complete

Maybe they got some feedback & didn't like what what they heard ?

that's interesting Taz

People I've been speaking to (and you know from 3121) got the same survey as me

I'm starting to wonder if the questions in the survey or the survey type people got was dependant on what type of membership you currently hold  :huh3

Yep, the survey I did was very simple with the usual generic questions you always get in a members survey:

How would you rate your support of Richmond?  [choose along a range from latent to hardcore]
Why do you buy a membership? [select from options such as 'connection to the club', 'cheaper game entry', 'be with friends & family', etc]
How many home games and [a separate part for] away games did you attend?

The start of the survey said it would take 15-20 mins but it was over in about 5.

Again imteresting MT

The one i got was totally different

Only really generic question was how would you rate your support of Richmond....

Then it went into all these different typrs of packages  and their cost and would ask from the options which appeals most, youd select and option and the next screen asked would you purchase it and my answer was always no

It took close to 30 minutes to complete it

Yes I got this one too but I lost interest and didn’t complete it in the end.

So would you guys read anything into the fact that as an interstate Gold member I didn't get a survey at all?
