You would swear that Easts don't care about members or gaining new ones. I have been a member for many years yet haven't been able to afford it this year yet , I will join when I can, yet I have not received one phone call or text msg like previous years asking if I'd like to rejoin or why I haven't etc..I'm happy I haven't been bombarded as I would feel awkward I couldn't afford it at the moment however if they want fans to rejoin or become members they do have to be a bit active and get it out there and push people. When a mate joined up he was told on the phone " we usually have around 17-18k members yet with the 15k members of the SFS already with tickets to the games it's hard to get anymore to join so it's harder for our club to go any further"..Not a great attitude.
In the last 3 years they have had Rooster membership billboards in Bondi,Clovelly and Randwick yet this year nothing. No ads or anything.Ever since Ted Hellier left the club it has seemed to go backwards off the field.Very Weird what's going on this year, losing many star players then a highly respected CEO..wake up Easts
You must have changed your contact details as I was getting SMS requests, emails and phone calls almost daily at one point
I renewed with a 4 game membership pass
The no auto renewal must have really destroyed our member numbers. Not a smart time to do that with Maloney & RTS and now Jennings joining and Pearce most likely to join them
I doubt we'll convert any new members with the backline they have now
It's all gone to shit rather quickly at Easts
I might upgrade to a Bronze membership so I can spend a little more time beating myself up and wondering why I bother.
