10+ years member jumper

Post: # 1224647Post Saint_Ash »

I have received this email from the club, i think it's a good way of honoring the 10+ year members but not sure if it is worth the cost.

Dear Ash,

On August 25, 2012, The St Kilda Football Club will be honouring the heart and soul of the Saints by wearing a guernsey with the names of our longest serving Members.

For the first time in our proud history, we are offering all 10 year + Members a once in a lifetime opportunity to have their name immortalised on a guernsey which will be worn by all Saints players in our round 22 clash against GWS.

For $250 (postage included) you are able to purchase this guernsey with your name on it, along with a Loyalty Recognition Certificate and collector box. This is truly a timeless piece of Saints history and an opportunity to have your name forever sewn into the Saints Fabric!
Hurry, names on the guernsey will be allocated
on a strictly first-come, first-served basis,
with space extremely limited.

The exclusive offer ends Friday June 22*

Available in Adult sizes, XS-XXXL

Your My Saints Account details are provided below:

Member ID: XXXXXXXXXXX
Password: Personal PIN


*10 year + Members exclusive period ends on June 8, after which any remaining spaces will be offered to 5-9 year members.

For any additional information please call our in-house Membership support team on 1300 GO SAINTS

Be great to have one but asking people to come up with $250 in the space of seven days isn't ideal.

I think it is a great idea & I just purchased mine.
It will be great to look back on in the years to come.
Its a better fundraiser than what they have done in the past.

250 bucks is out of control. 10 years of membership (i aint in that boat) should see some love. under 100 bucks would be respectful. 250 is a joke!
great idea, insulting execution.

I just read the email correctly , what a crock !!!

They are only honouring us 10+ year members , IF we pay them the $250 .

How is that honourable ?

Already the fundraising to try and cover the $1m were most likely going to drop in Membership income this year starts

I think it is an awesome idea, I have just purchased mine as well.

It's basically just a fundraiser, and I reckon it is a much better fundraiser than a raffle, or an auction night, or a straight out donation ... I reckon it's great, about to purchase mine

I said in my OP i wasn't sure if it was worth the money.

I should have said it is worth every cent, just not sure if I can afford to cough up the money in just a week. Especially when i'm about to travel to both the Gold Coast and Adelaide to support the club.

Happy to have made the purchase - although it is a fair chunk for a jumper, i'm buying a piece sport memorabilia rather than a jumper to wear.

It's the sort of thing that will only fly once. I would be extremely dissapointed if they had something like this again in a year or 2, it cheapens the whole concept.

I'd be interested to know how many names they can fit in?? Anyone know how many names other jumpers have had (Geelong did one a couple of years ago.)

I forwarded the e-mail to my kids with a hint about Father's day. I don't think I trust them that much. I'll have to do it myself.

Should bring out a guernsey with the names of all SS dudes on it?

I'll pay $2.50 for that

the back of the Jumper is now being filled
with 5-9 year members

get your name on the jumper the team will wear in Rd 22.

also the round where there will be a would have been legends match prior to the Saints game where I beleive Warney and others are being invited to play
