On my last working day of the year, I’ve just attended a BBQ with our playing group, coaches and support staff and there’s an unquestionable excitement in the air! This isn’t because there’s no training for two weeks but it’s largely driven by you – our members and supporters. I think we’re lucky enough to have the best supporters in the league and everything we do here at the Saints is focused on exceeding YOUR expectations.
The response to our membership drive has been outstanding and the additional benefits that we’ve offered have obviously hit the mark. We’ve just reached 18,000 new members before Christmas and we are still counting - this is already 10% more than the same time last year. Our all time record pre-Christmas is 18,200, which was the year after the Preliminary final against Port. We may well beat that number once we have entered and processed all the forms over the next few days.
So let’s not stop here. In the New Year I encourage you all to rally your friends and family that support the Saints and get them on board as a member for the 2008 season. With our first five games of the 2008 season at the Telstra Dome (and 11 home games throughout the season at the Dome) all members get immediate value for joining. Let’s not just break our membership record – let’s smash it!
We’ve had a big year in 2007 and our new Board committed to driving more value back to you our members and that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’ve got some exciting new recruits, made key football appointments, our club is in great shape and our team is looking fitter, stronger and more focused than ever.
On behalf of all of us here at the Saints thank you for your support and have a safe and fun filled Christmas break. We’re all pumped for a big 2008!
Cheers and Go Saints!
Archie Fraser, CEO and on behalf of the whole team here at St Kilda
