It's actually customary for a group of supporters from the coterie group of the away team to pay for a table or two at the home teams function.I was in the Pivotonians last Fri night and even in that area , there were some Bulldogs scarfs in amoungst the Cats. And believe me thats not cheap either.
They should have built a deck out back like the medallion club and allow smoking. Those memberships would go in a blink. Or have they stopped the smoking at Etihad now? It's been a while.Yep, agree with Vdubs.
I imagine they will be expanding the social club in the new stand so you will probably see some new (younger) patronage.

Welcome aboardMy wife and I just signed up and payed the deposit to join the social club next year. Hopefully it will turn out to be a good decision. If not, I can always go back to getting reserved seats in 2018. I don't think I will regret it though. Looking forward to it, and hopefully enjoying it for many years to come.

Medallion club had it.NEVER
Some people are respiratorily compromised by just a sniff of tobacco smoke.Medallion club had it.
I appreciate you don't drink.
But being able to buy a fresh cooked burger off the grill, have a beer in glass, and have a smoke made the benefits worth it.
A little but need to see the city end of the coaches box side near the Ford Stand end of the construction

Welcome aboard
Making the move from Brownlow to Social next year. Very difficult decision and I'm still not 100% sure about it.
Negatives are: losing the best spot to watch from, not being able to on-sell my seats if we can't attend, membership is not transferable (ie let a friend use my ticket if I can't go- although the membership staff told me they are looking in to ways to allow this) and not having a reserved seat.
Looking on the bright side is not having to put up with the same annoying seat neighbours for a whole season and the view will be almost as good- in fact it is exactly where I sat when my parents first started taking me to the footy. It will also be good varying my seats game by game. Good weather in the open, rainy games under cover, etc.
The plusses (the things that decided the move) are: easier to bring extra family/friends along through guest passes, Grand Final ticket access (I already had a Premiership membership anyway so the extra cost I paid covered the dearer membership), seats at Melbourne home games included (level 2 at MCG and Etihad) and, possibly, seats at other Simonds Stadium events (again, membership staff said it is being looked in to, but no certainty by a long way.)
If you are contemplating a similar decision I can understand uncertainty. I guess I can always change to another stand in the future if it doesn't work out, but getting back on the wing might be as hard as it always has been.
The membership team were keen to recommend the Social Club saying that the rest of the new stand will be much like the Premiership and Players stands, whereas the Social Club will be more like the MCC in regard to facilities, comfort and benefits. Here's hoping (and no 20 year wait!)
If it's like it used to be there's just an area on Level 2 that is like the social club but at the G (maybe a couple of bays side by side). Even has a bar behind it for social club members.Hey Thunder Road, I have also made the move and signed up to the social club for 2017. I have previously had reserved seats in the Hickey stand. I, like you, was initially uncertain but I have opted to take the risk and go for it. I think the benefits sound really good. Can't wait to see the setup next year. You mentioned something about having level 2 seats at Melbourne games included. How does that work exactly? Do we get the option to upgrade to seats on level 2 at the 'G and Etihad for our home games? Level 2 would be great!
