Toast Round of applause for our CEO Jen Watt

[Chadwiko]

Ok so the bumped your original seats down to level 1 monetised the original level 2 seats you paid for by opening them up to opposition supporters and getting a premium.

Is that right?

Not quite, and ignoring the troll (who has previously admitted that he had no info on the issue as he was unaffected) here's the general summary;

In late 2023, Premiership Club members with reserved seats in bays along the L2 wing/southern pocket received emails from the club indicating that these bays were no longer available "due to Marvel Stadium and the AFL reclassing those seats at the conclusion of the Marvel Stadium redevelopment at the beginning of 2024."

In subsequent contact with the club, these members were explicitly told that this was a Marvel Stadium decision, and that all Marvel Stadium home teams were being impacted.

(For what it's worth, this was the point in time where I forwarded that info to a footy journo because it seemed pretty interesting).

Turns out that this information was not truthful, and North Melb was the only club impacted. This was because the club was instead allocating these bays for corporate seating/events.

Did the North supporters get compensated?

lol no. Nor would we be entitled to compensation to be fair. The club made some efforts to assist impacted members choose new reserved seats of their choice from what was available, but those of us who had reserved seats on the L2 wing no longer had that as an option.

The issue was never about the loss of our reserved seats. The issue was the club lying to its members.

Club said it was due to AFL works/Arden Lounge but those seats have been available to the public

It's not a good look to lie to your members. If it costs too much to reserve those bays be upfront.

Those bays were used for guests at the premiership reunion last week, weren't they?

What have those blokes ever done for the club.

Oh I'm just recalling what was said. I think they offered discounted prices for the move? Can't remember.

I sit on Level 1 Wing and have never been Level 2 but it's still a shit situation.

FWIW, pushing your loyal members out of the Level 2 Wing area is a shitty thing to do but I guess what they could've done was offer discounted Level 1 Wing reserved seats.

We want the Level 1 areas to be packed full of NMFC brethren. The atmosphere is electric.
