would assume they will need to wait for processing of the memberships

I have a feeeling when I first got it it was into the new year

Maybe worth a call to the club.- membership dept

[Armoooo]

Didn't get it last year, would you say that it is worth it?
It's only the weekend paper though isn't it?

It's a 4 day deal.. Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon

I think it's a good deal. Have had it for nearly 2 years now. Will be renewing !!

Oh, that's ok then.
I thought it was just Saturday and Sunday...

It's a fantastic deal - for 48c a week (sounds like an ad for your ABC) you get The Age 4 times each week, being the main sports editions.

and the entertainment on friday and the education on Monday

G Rated forum !!

that's the bit you guys throw out or wrap the rubbish in

same as I do with the entertainment section

[Enrico_Misso]

It's a terrific deal.

Last year I renewed in Feb.
This year I will renew before Xmas to get that "MUST HAVE" DVD.

Does that mean my Age subscription will run out in Dec 2008 or Feb 2009 ?

[saintbrat]

to my experience it doesn;t run out unless you don't renew

I have actually never asked someone who stopped the subscription as to when it stoppped coming

but have heard of some newsageents 'arrangements"

[noddy]

Be nice to be able to take up the offer or something equivalent for Interstate Social Club members

Using The Age to wrap garbage up is too good a use.

I lay it out for the dog to pee on.

I think it was february.

It depends if you want to read The Age or not.

I find The Age's footy coverage to be absolutely appalling.

It all seems to be off-field gossip and opinion pieces. Far too much opinion from Caroline 'Need a Headline' Wilson, and the other Patrick Smith wannabe's. Even their 'factual articles' are filled with personal opinion.

The Herald-Sun is a trashy glorified tabloid magazine - but it's footy coverage leaves The Age for dead.

Yes true - however we used to subscribe to the Age prior to this offer so it saves us about $180 a year.

We got it for the paper not just the sports which is below par compared to the Hun. However with the internet I can get all the info I need before the paper is even printed.

Age today says readership is highest it has been since 1985 with 30,000 extra readers. That equates to the Saints membership

[riccardo]

We never read it when we got it for free, to be honest, it just clogged up the recycling bin. Why would I want it now I have to pay for it?

They used to hand it out at Victory games, but people ripped it up and used it as confetti - no more free Ages after a few weeks of that!

good points JB....remember the Age $25 offer is not just for Saints members, also Melbourne Victory members (22,500) plus I think 2 or 3 other footy clubs.

Quite obviously it's all about subscriptions, even if they are almost nil-revenue.

I think advertisers pay more based on not only total newspaper sales but also subscriptions - they couldn't give a stuff if someone has got their paper for 48 cents a week or $4.80!!!

[Armoooo]

Yeah I wouldn't mind it for entertainment and politics (school )
But I don't even think I would read the sports section, it really is just crap, and to make it worse the writers are so ego driven...
