Yeah most people believe they are fine. I picked a fight with you? Oh you think that is a fight, you must really be weak minded.

anyone ask when it was going to be on?SaintSimmo wrote:soooooo....anyone seen it on tv yet?
I tried emailing them to correct them but it came back to me- Beva doing alousy job of keeping them in linematrix wrote:healy giving it too us as we type
saying that we have lockouts when we are saying we are open to the public
someone ringing in saying that he rang the club asking for when the next open training session is so his die hard son can go and he was told to ring the next day
rang the next day and it had started at 10am that day
wasnt happy reckons the clu bare saying theyre doing open sessions but actually doing locked sessions
blah blah whine
drugs perhaps?
stupidity??
seem to be able to find out about training sessions on here no probs
given they are even advertising the closed ones nowSainterK wrote:That's crap IMO, the club has been doing everything right in regards to this kind of stuff recently...
Even had posters on here telling us they've watched unadvertised ones!
Why didn't he give St Kilda heaps when the security guards were ushering people away?
The 10am session they are talking about was probably an unadvertised one, as everyone so far as been 9.30
Fair?

The whole matra since Scotty took over was 'open, receptive, vibrant'. A complete off-field revolution from Rossy. Nick gave a speech about Us Vs Them last year. In reality a line in the sand. You are with us, or against us. You may say it is a catchcry given our target and impressive ad, and it is an impressive ad, but surely they could have come up with a much better slogan. The club always seem to paint themselves as a club trying to fit in, and be up to AFL footy, but never really comfortable with themselves. This may seem very minor, and in the scheme of things it is, but this popular coach 'catchcry' is the only disappointing thing that has come out of our great club recently. I love this idea to promote and sell our club, and while we need to be tough and demand the highest standards, we cannot afford to proport ourselves in an us against them mentality, when all that has been coming from the club since Scotty was appointed has been the exact opposite.
Isn't there some serious disconnect here with all these membership targets?
Each year the bar is set a little bit higher. Collingwood on 70,000 and pushing towards 100,000. Saints trying to get to 50,000. The Pies play at a stadium that holds about 97,000 and we play at a stadium that holds about 45,000. And of course all games involve 2 teams.
Memberships are mainly sold to those who want to go watch their side each week. How many people are going to sign up when the membership no longer guarantees you'll be able to see all your club's home games?
Or am I missing something?
That must be level 2 seating because you can get much cheaper membership with reserved seating. Level 3 reserved seating is only $260.hungry for a premiership wrote:Agree.sainter27 wrote:I am the biggest fan of what has happened at our club since Scotty took over, and I love the idea and execution of the ad, but the membership catchline is terrible, 'draw a line in the sand'.

The catch phrase "Draw a Line in the Sand" isn't on the money. It's not a big thing, but "Draw A Line in the Sand" doesn't really sum up the mood, the vibe of the expectation of the season. Something a bit lighter, fresher, like "Saint's let loose" or "Saints off the chain" or "A New Era" or something like that would have been better, IMO.

My old man has been buying me St.Kilda Memberships for years. I never bothered to ask what they cost.
Yesterday, he asked, "guess how much the member ship was?"
I had absolutely no idea, so I thought, "Well, it cost around $22 for an adult ticket if you just rock up to the ground, we've got reserved seats for 11 home games, so 11 x 22 is around $240, plus the extra for the reserved seat is let's say $100," so I responded with the figure, " around $350?"
I was shocked to learn it was priced at around $550. How on earth do you get value for money? Price wise, your better off just buying a ticket at the ground, sure you don't get a reserved seat, but I prefer watching the game from the higher levels anyway, you get a much, much better view of the game when your above ground level. When it comes to finals, grand finals and blockbuster home and away matches, well, you've got to pre-book your seats in those cases anyway, so you can still do it.
I hate to dissuade people from buying memberships but honestly the pricing is ridiculous when you consider that it really doesn't gaurantee you anything, not even a seat at home games no that there are more members than seats at stadiums!
I am assuming that is a concession tickethungry for a premiership wrote:[

see I don't read it that way at all- unlike the Pies catchcry which is actually 'Us against them"sainter27 wrote:I am the biggest fan of what has happened at our club since Scotty took over, and I love the idea and execution of the ad, but the membership catchline is terrible, 'draw a line in the sand'.
