General Bombers Talk Questions and discussions that don't warrant a thread

[DapperDon]

Too late for what? Asking what it is all about?

Players can have different levels of sponsorship, the money doesn't go to them but to the club. It's another way of helping the club out. A couple of years a few posters got together and formed a group sponsorship Minimum $20 to contribute and up to any amount you see fit. Later in the year they have a meet and greet night where the players give their thanks, names are drawn out at random and those selected go along.

Doss will be able to tell you more as he organised it this year, BTG all the other years so he'll have more info too.

EDIT: Yeah, what Doss said

 

[Andronicus]

Cheers for that.

Was really just curious because I've seen it around a fair bit and wondered. Does the cash go directly to the player or towards something in particular?

Just goes to the club in general. It's really another way of just getting involved and putting your money where your mouth is, so to speak.

It's more symbolic than anything, but if you're so inclined, the opportunity to meet the players at the function is pretty cool. As is getting the signed, framed picture.

Do you want me to make an enquiry on your behalf?

 

[Andronicus]

Probably not now, but will keep it in mind for next year.

Thanks again for the replies.

Doss is actually a Nigerian Prince and takes all our money.

What can I say, those ten Hugo Boss suits I bought last week had to be paid for somehow.

Just so everyone knows- The Essendon interstate members are being seated in bay 119. I booked tickets for Bay 120 so I can be as close as possible!

 

[Tassieboy]

Booked flights for Anzac Day and for Melbourne R.2. Excitement is building.

We're having that meet up before the Melbourne game.

Drop by if you aren't busy, mate!

This damn ad that comes up along the bottom everytime you open a page, i'm guessing there's no way of pissing it off? Damn annoying.

How many tickets can I buy for Anzac Day when they go on sale for members?

 

[bergerson33]

Looking to go to the Round 3 vs Freo on the 12th of April. Will be in Perth that weekend. Ticketmaster says they don't go on sale til 10 days before the match. Do they go on sale any earlier for Essendon members? Or can you get them through the club at all? Are you also seated with other members if you buy through your membership?
Thanks in advance

As you can see Lady Melksham won tonight at Moonee Valley. Surely an Essendon fan. Wonder if any Bombers fans took those odds?!

bergerson33 tickets for those games for Essendon members go on sale on March 27th for Rounds 3 onwards. General public can get them from March 28th.

Is it 6?

 

[Tassieboy]

Although it's not an Essendon home game, flying over to take the Mrs to the Dreamtime Game too. Slowly converting her away from Carlton, or rather rapidly

 

[freddy mercury]

Hey fellas, when do Anzac Day tickets go on sale to general public? Cheers

I dare say Jake Melksham is now an Essendon fan, so yes.

 

[Doss]

It's a bit of a gamble going this route because this account doesn't appear to have been posted from in a while, but I'll have a stab anyway:

Essendon_FC, do you know if there are plans for the mobile version of the EFC website to be revamped and improved? It's very limited at the moment and in certain circumstances, having access to certain information (like membership, for example) on the go would be very handy for our fans.

With the mobile site in its present form, stuff like this really doesn't seem to be possible.

Thanks in advance.

In random news, VLAD used to an Essendon supporter growing up.

 

[The Jet]

Got my tickets to the Melbourne game last Friday, going into the city on Wednesday early to get my Anzac Day tickets
