Resource 2024 Membership thread - it begins - with a kiss

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I have been thinking about this since last week and I know a few posters on here hate when the club gets held to account publicly, especially by the Herald Sun or SEN who are parasites.

My preference is that North handles this issue internally but sadly you are right.

The SEN/Sam Edmund route works because the club responds to him.
But why? Why is it good enough for a joirno and I’m a paid up ******* member who gets it ignored.
This is where our frustrations boil over.
If I don’t hear back from the club by Thursday I am going to go to public.
11 years is a joke and it’s most likely been a problem longer than that. You can’t defend an issue like this.

The club is always right Taz.

Even when they’re not.

Here's my take on inclusions.

Sticker - too busy. Not obviously NM from a distance. I usually put mine on a notebook or folder.
Lanyard - doesn't meet industry standards - no breakaway catch - is actually a choking risk. Do it properly or don't do it.
Tear off fixture to fill in - anyone actually use that?
Key ring - nice enough. Will use for something.

I am not much of a lanyard person - just hang on top of the others. Would anyone actually use theirs?

They are cheap options but it is nice to get some branded items.

I was directing you towards someone who wanted their gift voucher honoured a few pages back left <<<<<

Never put them around your neck at the footy; great for Shed/Gate keys

Why am I lowkey embarrassed that it’s been 25 years since our last premiership

My old man watched them for 40 years before we won our first in a 12 team competition. Patience is a virtue

Same with my folks. Nobody can imagine the joy the 75 flag brought to the old school shinboners. Watched men cry that would never shed a tear publicly for any reason. I cried. Mum cried. I remember the moment the siren went like it was yesterday. It was especially good as we had lost 74 and many of us thought that would be our only chance and we blew it.

My great uncle was in his 70’s at that point. Always said that after that moment he’d die a happy man.

Received the kids memberships packs today, absolute rubbish.
Not sure why they bother sending anything at all.

Should just do a retro year instead.

…it’s embarrassing to be one of three clubs to have not played off in a GF in a time of socialisation that wasn’t in those 40 years.

Agree, can't compare.

Does the retro year also come with 11 home games?

Comes with Elephants on the ground at every break and woollen scratchy jumpers for the early 25 degree games

 

[HELLSBELLS]

How many Staff do they actually have in membership ?

To be so lacklustre in the membership department blows my mind.

No members the club dies yet the department is clearly understaffed and not seen as valuable as all the other departments.

It has me baffled.

Club needs to extract the digit from their rectums and get another couple of people, pay the salary and get it to an acceptable level.

Because atm my local club does it better.

Will point out that if you're gold level telstra user (I think its $3k a year spend) you can get Kayo for $150 a year ($12.50 a month)



Also lol @ the eagles.

Mine expires in March

Does the offer continue?

And so do North Members get Kayo for free because I will not renew

Its still available as on offer today so I assume it will be around in march.

The North Membership that gives access to Kayo is a separate membership package to the one we pay for for game access.

When a team has continued success for a long period it will at some stage regress, its called the cycle of football. Players get older, form can disappear and players can leave for a variety of reasons. If you don't rebuild you'll stagnate at the bottom for a time until you do.

Also, after our great years, the 90s, up until the early 2000s, not knowing how old you are, if say your in your mid 20s, that means you were born right after our reign, so your a bit unlucky on this point, but I wouldn't worry too much because with the players now at the club things are going to change, with the players, coaches , game plan and extra fitness and some class, be very excited for what's

coming!

Would be good to see footage of the celebrations

And taking your own esky with longnecks in tow

Got my legendary membership today. Didn't even receive the membership card. Did we need to select that somewhere or have I got screwed.... Looks like I'm scanning into games with my sticker.

That might come in part two of your membership pack that some of us seem to be getting.

There's a part 2!!!! This is exciting news.

I got my membership card and voucher before Christmas. Got the 'membership pack' this week and it had a section that said here is my membership card - it was blank coz I already had it. Amateur stuff really.
