They started theirs about 3 weeks before us so its likely they would already be able to count the sign-ups quicker.

In my household "She Who Must be Obeyed" is a rampant Hawker and I spotted their strategy, very interesting.  They send all the membership goodies in a pretty box with a hawk on the front, then ask for it to be returned if you choose not to be a member.  Obviously if it is damaged or bits missing in any way you pay. Also are advertising their pants off down here hoping for more Tassie Hawks.

Seems we are holding our numbers from last year despite the memberships being sent out later this year and coming off a wooden spoon. In fact we could be slightly ahead  as we're just under 12,000 and it's only the 10/12/07.

Same time last year:
15/12/06 - over 11,000
20/12/06 - broke through 13,000 for the first time

[WilliamPowell]

I think will have similar numbers to last year despite the spoon

There is genuine excitement around the Tiges at the moment (for alot of people at least  )

Oh yeah and I've renewed my Player Club membership today. I am a player sponsor once more

Great stuff WP 

The preseason is a good time to be a Tiger supporter. No games to remind us of reality lol. Seriously I think people can see the Club is progressing forward with most of the decisions it is making and it will eventually pay off on-field in a few years.

Hi  does any one have anything to say regarding the player sponsorship thing  I am tossing up the idea to go in as an "option B" and help out one of the new boys, living in WA i suppose I wont get to too many games except at Subi but still would like to support the club a bit more than just the interstate m/ship  how much does $550 help out a player
how many of you do this ?

I am not quite sure what you mean by "how much does it help out a player?"

The money from the Player Club (player sponsorship) whether it be option A or Option B does not directly go to the player. It is a membership category that the club puts under its "Coterie Groups" banner, therefore all the money goes to the club.

They only thing that directly impacts on a player is your name goes on their locker. there is of course the other benefits in option B like the Player dinner etc. The dinner is a great night

The best thing about Player club is the supporters get to met the players one on one. And in some of cases you can really get know your player well. The dinner is great for this. I know that when I go and watch Coburg for example my sponsored player always comes up and has a chat. I actually think it is a great benefit to the players as well - those who make the effort

Sounds sensational when you do it as an individual.  I guess you wont be telling us who judging by your posts but do you continue to try to sponsor the same player or mix it up each year?
