WTF with The Age?????

[Dr Spaceman]

Early last week I unexpectedly received a copy of the Sunday Age commemorating the historic Grand Final draw. The packaging indicated this was through the Age sponsorship deal with the Saints.

Well this morning I open my front door to find a copy of the commemorative Pies Premiership Sunday Age!

Memo to whoever's in charge of this, and it's really quite simple

Saints win = send to members
Pies win = bin the idea

Can understand your annoyance, I would be a little pissed to

[St.Dianne]

My copy went straight into the bin - would have been welcome if we had won.

Are they mental?

[saintsrus]

Yes mine arrived too, gave it to my 85yo pies neighbour

I only subscribe to the age because they are a STK sponsor and I always try to use a StKilda sponsor where I can.

After the 16 page Collingwood wankfest delivered in August and yesterdays little effort I won't be renewing my subscription next year.

I am also closing my Westpac accounts tomorrow.

And don't go to McDonalds either
Or fly Emirates Airlines

Sponsors look for exposure and commercial gain.

I'm redoing my bathrooms at home so as a true Saint I've called Regency (a Jeldwen Company) in for a quote.
They'll most likely get my business as a direct result of their sponsoring the Saints, and I'll be telling them that.

Alternatively if enough people avoid sponsors of Collingwood then they may think twice before renewing?


Needless to say I won't be buying the Age Subscription - the 16 page 'Collingwood wankfest' was enough for me to withdraw any financial support for them.
It's minor I know, but it's my protest.

[SainterK]

Got mine today

[fingers]

Sttraight to the recylcing bin

[Dr Spaceman]

Sttraight to the recylcing bin

Yep that's what I did as well.

Which, as it turns out, is a bit of a shame.

I was cleaning out the cats' litter box this morning when it hit me

Flung it in the wrong direction?

Unfortunate choice of words upon reflection

Lucky there's no fan in that room!

[Furphy]

Are they mental?

They don't call 'em "The Spencer Street Soviet" for nothing.

[Superboot]

I already subscribe to The Age (Fri-Mon) through the club's membership application option. I'm pretty sure the subscription doesn't run out until early next year.

I've now received two additional copies of the Sunday Age by mail after already having received it last Sunday anyway.

In my case it's all a waste of time, effort, and money.

[Sainternist]

They kicked us in the (Luke) Balls and now they just have to keep rubbing more salt into our wounds

[St. Luke]

My copy went straight into the bin - would have been welcome if we had won.

Same!

Mind you, I should have lined my cats litter box with that Collingwood Victory poster! It'd be looking pretty good about now! DAMN!

[ace]

I got one after the first grand final but not after the replay.

It must have been taken by a filth supporter who lives nearby.
