Hi ya Loris, I had tried to forget that day......our group got home to the hotel at 0700 on day 5 after lamenting the loss the night before it happenedloris wrote:PLUGGER14...look forward to catching up again.......we can reminisce about that wonderful 2nd Test in Birmingham in 2005 eh?PLUGGER14 wrote:Yeah in Perth from lunchtime Friday till 4pm Monday.

"One hundred and twenty five runs to go ....High Ho the Derry O" ..
(We softly sing in unison without much faith from the first over of the morning on the last day's play)
"Two runs to go......High Ho the Derry O"..
(We loudly sing with so much hope, faith and anticipation of a glorious come from behind win)
Ooooooophs Kaspa did you really glove that ball and give the Poms such joy??
Will you be there again in 2013 Brett? I've already put my deposit down.
we actually watched it in the bar of the hotel with no one game enough to leave their seats to duck down to the ground as it got closer!! Unfortunately one of the party uttered the words "Kaspa's looking good we r gunna do it" & of course next ball..........

i get all of the above. i think because i am a 11 game holder and social club they have some how missed me. its pretty f***ed that i pay for a higher membership and therefore dont get tickets to wa games even though i dont use any of the 11 home games in melbourne.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:ok its obvious by the question both you guys are not getting emails from the club ... first thing i would do is go to http://www.saintsmembership.com.au/mysaints.php and make sure you have your email address set up on your membership Secondly i would send an email to myself (westernsaints@saints.com.au) and get on the Western Saints mailing list ... thirdly i would "Like" the Western Saints on Facebook by clicking on the following link ( )
then you will be up to date on all the info ...
back in April all members who have their email/mobile number registered with the club recieved an Email or SMS advising that they needed to register their want for tickets to the Freo game by the 20th of April .. now this was sorted on a first in first served basis and given we have over 1400 WA members and a ticket allocation of about 300 tickets most members missed out ... now this is not the clubs fault nor the Western Saints as Subi oval only holds 45k people and with freo hovering around the 44K member mark and the WAFC rules stating 1000 tickets must be available to the public we have no options of giving more tickets ....
i just logged onto Ticketmaster then and was easily able to find tickets still available to the game so that would be the best bet !!
i have heard that some members with the social club membership in WA were not getting Western Saints information ... i have chased the club up about this and they are investigating it ... the thing is the club do not (and in my opinion should not ) factor things like years of membership or type of membership if they are going to hold a "first in first served" style allocation process it is as it says First in first served ..this year with us only having one game in Perth makes it even harder to keep everyone happy , if i were you i would be very happy that you got tickets to both games last year as i know some members who missed out twice ...defacto wrote:i get all of the above. i think because i am a 11 game holder and social club they have some how missed me. its pretty f***ed that i pay for a higher membership and therefore dont get tickets to wa games even though i dont use any of the 11 home games in melbourne.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:ok its obvious by the question both you guys are not getting emails from the club ... first thing i would do is go to http://www.saintsmembership.com.au/mysaints.php and make sure you have your email address set up on your membership Secondly i would send an email to myself (westernsaints@saints.com.au) and get on the Western Saints mailing list ... thirdly i would "Like" the Western Saints on Facebook by clicking on the following link ( )

last year i got tickets to both the wce and freo games. sounds like our membership crew have once again f***ed up and not used common sense.
defintely not having a go at you mate or the good work the wa saints do. i am also very gratefull that i got two tickets last year. no complaints there.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:i have heard that some members with the social club membership in WA were not getting Western Saints information ... i have chased the club up about this and they are investigating it ... the thing is the club do not (and in my opinion should not ) factor things like years of membership or type of membership if they are going to hold a "first in first served" style allocation process it is as it says First in first served ..this year with us only having one game in Perth makes it even harder to keep everyone happy , if i were you i would be very happy that you got tickets to both games last year as i know some members who missed out twice ...defacto wrote:i get all of the above. i think because i am a 11 game holder and social club they have some how missed me. its pretty f***ed that i pay for a higher membership and therefore dont get tickets to wa games even though i dont use any of the 11 home games in melbourne.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:ok its obvious by the question both you guys are not getting emails from the club ... first thing i would do is go to http://www.saintsmembership.com.au/mysaints.php and make sure you have your email address set up on your membership Secondly i would send an email to myself (westernsaints@saints.com.au) and get on the Western Saints mailing list ... thirdly i would "Like" the Western Saints on Facebook by clicking on the following link ( )

again if you want to complain about it try directing your anger at the WAFC for their stupid 1000 general public tickets .. or the WA government for sitting on their hands for the last 15 years and not having the forward sight to build a 60K stadium in Perth ....
I know other Social Club members that don,t get these too from what I can work out it is only the members with Coutry/intersate memberships that get them as that is what is promised with their membership. So while you get the WA info you technically don;t get offered the ticket (if that makes sense)defacto wrote:sorry if my post comes off angry. just so frustrated with one small part of the football club. so easy to fix too.
to reiterate, i dont blame the western saints or anyone volunteering their own time to help the western saints. i think they do a great job especially with the very limited resources they have.

nah its ok i understand your frustrations and ill be honest the club is the first to admit that there are some bugs in the system and i feel personally it stems from the AFL actually controling the membership information not the club ... basically the AFL give the club the information it asks for now in this case i think the problem was it asked for interstate/county members within the post code range of 6000-6999 ... what we should have asked for was all members within the postcode range of 6000-6999 ... i might be wrong but when im not doing Western saints work i work in a marketing role and i know first hand how the slightest mistake can cause a marketing list to give wrong data ...defacto wrote:sorry if my post comes off angry. just so frustrated with one small part of the football club. so easy to fix too.
