Interstate members is it any hassle to swap a MCG games?

I have been told that the club sends a letter asking if there are any games that interstate members would like to substitute.

Has anyone on the site done this before?

From The Age:

Wallace also made an impassioned call for Richmond supporters to jump aboard the bandwagon, chastising them for their apathy and lack of commitment to the cause. He said that as one of the big four Victorian clubs - along with Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon - it was unacceptable that there were 8800 members from last year who were yet to renew.

COACH Terry Wallace has turned the blowtorch on Richmond fans, saying if the club cannot crack the 30,000 membership mark it will have no chance of long-term success.

In 2004, the Tigers were 11th in membership numbers with more than 27,000 members. But nearly 9000 have not renewed, and the club has 21,000 members so far.

"We have 400,000-plus Australia-wide barracking for the footy club," he said. "We, as yet, can't turn 10 per cent of those into members."

------------------------------

I think a number of tiger supporter have been burnt over the years as TS said in another thread with false hope that they want to see some on-field results before they all jump on the bandwagon. The free sunnies might have also blown up the figures last year.

  What can I say - fairweather nuts - I worked with this dude in 2003 and he was allways talking Tigers to me about being such a great member etc etc.

Then 04 comes and he's going on about eff richmond I'm not buying a membership for that poo etc etc.

Basically I gave him a gobful - told him he is not a real supporter you dont just jump off etc etc.

He hardly bothered to speak to me after that 

I really cant stand the fairweather nuts - no fckn spunk or personality these days - It sums up people as humans sometimes and all clubs have them.

Now that's of my chest our first 8 games are in Melbourne so maybe they will jump on then - lets hope for a good start.
Cause it doesn't matter who jumps on as long as they are on.
