would it be 11 but reserved seating $ would be reduced as we only get to sit for 10 ?Otiman wrote:Does this mean we willl only get a 10 game membership this year?
Or 11 including one away TD game (nominated by the club, usually against bulldogs).

Don't like it.
We are compromising our integrity for money.
Why not sell off 11 home games?
That would raise us around $5m !!

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

Welcome to the AFL.
And the cost?Why not sell off 11 home games?

While I'm not a fan of selling home games I don't see the problem with a one off situation.
However I doubt we'll get any favours in the draw as a result of doing it - unlike Richmond & especially Carlton that are already guaranteed certain fixtures in the draw.
Because we need $400,000 not 5 Million. The only problem I have is the home game will be against Brisbane from what I understand which is really a home game for them but the club obviously agreed to that.Enrico_Misso wrote:Don't like it.

Also seems like we are going to draw the short straw and have to play Brisbane up their.
Such bulls***.

FFS the 400k is worth more than 4 premership points isn't it.
esp when you get outnumbered at 3 straight finals matches - where were the "dyed in the wool " supporters that came out of the wood work when we got the dbl chance and didnt come to a game in the 1st 3 weeks of the finals.
?
we have just as much chance of beating a team at carrara than at north moe oval or the MCG at the minute.
id rather play at carrara than have a 2nd game at AAMI or SUBI ?
wouldn't you ?

Apart from the fact that it appears we are playing the Lions I'm OK with it. If we are transferring a HOME game it would have been nice to at least have 1/2 a chance to create even a little bit of home up there...as we did v North. Much harder now with a few thousand Brions "fans" there.
Oh and just for the record..there are a million reasons why people might not be able to travel Interstate to see teams play..not just financial.
Sorry matrixcutter but it gets on my goat when peple translate "real" supporters as ones who are lucky enough to have the time and money to travel

Just for the record, I could afford to get to Interstate games should I choose, and I amy well be arranging a trip to the GC should the dates work out,. but I choose to spend the time with my invalid father instead. I'm not trading on this, I am just try to illustrate that its more than just money for some people OK???????
Plus..I'm more a museli person

Look I dont want to get into a slanging match with you, but I just think its important to realise that everyone lives their lives with their own set of priorities, committments and responsibilities. Saying "wa wa wa" to those who dont have the opportunity to travel is showing a disrespect of that IMHO
Save your scorn, perhaps, for those who DO actually state "Oh I could go but we never win interstate so why bother". IMHO that is the only attitude that deserves your response..and I reckon on this site anyway theres precious few of them

Personally last year's trip to the GC was one of thr great week-ends of footy and a season 2008 highlight. It certainly beat the hell out of that passionless, soulless, morose night (afternoon) spent at Telstra Dome watching them play Port...my god that game was like eating chalk!!!
