Membership 2019.

[Saint_JimmyG]

Ive never understood the whole membership thing from a supporters point of view. Why do it? What do you get out of it?
Tickets can be purchased at the gates and merchandise an be purchased at sporting outlets. Why buy tickets upfront? Maybe its pissing rain that day and you don't want to go? Maybe you have a headache and prefer to watch at home?
I've never been a member and I'd consider myself a diehard Dragons fan of many years.
What am I missing?

It comes down to perspective.

Writing as someone with a physical disability, the value I receive from a Red V Membership is a reserved seat at both the club’s home grounds. On average, it takes twu-and-a-half hours (one way) for a trip down to the ‘Gong, and there is great benefit in knowing that there’s a specific place for my tired legs (and ever widening arse) on the halfway line.

If it’s not the best seat in the house, it’s close to it.

All the other bits are superfluous, including a stupid cap which makes us all look as though we’re paying homage to the defunct North Sydney Bears. For those interested, this year’s design won by an “overwhelming” majority of 26%.

It’s a fair Question.
I became a member last year, even though I have been living in Europe for a long long time now. It’s probably a waste of money as I can’t attned games etc. I just felt like it was a way to boost involvement, though in reality I get a supporters package and not really anything else... it’s really the feel good factor and commitment from me.

If cash was tight I wouldn’t do it.

I get the faithful package. You can then pick the games you want to attend and get a discount in tickets. I also attend most lower grade games and get a discount on admission l, that alone pays for my membership. Fans also like the members functions.

It's convenient more than anything for me. Also it's cheaper than buying a undercover seat every time for every home game. If I can't make it I give my ticket to a family member or friend so somebody will always go but now that I don't have to pay for my ticket for little different. There is events for members that are exclusive and a very handy for the children or grandchildren especially. But otherwise in that probably no more convenient than anything else.
Have to agree with Jimmy This year's cap I'd not the best as it is to small.

Well, I forked out $250 for my Kogarah season ticket & I was pumped entering the ground tonight. Get to my seat (Top tier, halfway) & my seat is broken - Dragons footy.....

Damn it @possm I want to agree it's a mess but facts and evidence suggest otherwise. We may need @muzby to help adjudicate

My good forum friend, we go back a long way however, I doubt we will ever be on the same page for many subjects. However, I do respect your right to express your opinion and always enjoy reading your posts.

All I can say is just look at the state of our leagues club and the number of competition won before and after Frank Facer was in charge. We are in decline, on and off the field, and with no real prospect on correcting this some tome soon.

So merging with our long time enemy Cronulla, as you suggested, is a better fix?

It might help if you consider Cronulla as SGI's parodical son.

Imagine how many members would have if we were performing consistently well and winning comps regularly

 

[Alec’s-saints]

Should be aiming for 30,000

Hmmm...Not a good sign tbh. This is kind of successful in a way and will be used as a way to advertise numbskulls reinstatement. Argh!!!!!
