Membership Packs

[joffaboy]

Just got my membership pack and was suprised to get another scarf.

Dont want to sound ungrateful, but why does the club outlay such expenses on such a frivilious piece of apparel considering if you are a member for the past 5 or so years you will have numerous useless scarves clogging up the wardrobe.

Surely these would be fine for new members, but I would think that the club would be looking for any way to cut costs. The costs for the scarves wouldn't be huge and considering the club has no worries about blowing half a mill on paying out the previous coach, I would suspect, it doesn't really matter that much.

More the obvious waste on something not many people wear. Maybe a yes/no to new scarfs on the membership renewal would be appropriate?

Oh and in my opinion the scarf is hideous. Like our horrible all white strip, the scarf is mostly white.

I agree with you joffa, however last year I remember some sort of uproar from a faction of fans because scarves weren't included and people had to pay...I preferred last year where we had the option to purchase the scarf... I got last years one because I liked the look of it... Don't really like the look of this one and could probably have done without... But we will see the same now with people like you and myself not really seeing the point of the scarf .... I have more saints scarves then I know what to do with.... Can't wait until the boss lets me build my "pool room" LOL

I. Can't wait until the boss lets me build my "pool room" LOL

i know a dees supporter who sewed them all together to make a throw rug to take to the footy......but then they have to play outdoors.....

How did they get in there in the first place, i'm tipping the postie didn't deliver them to that spot.

[SainterK]

It's only rollover members that get one isn't it?

Possibly, there wasn't a scarf in the diamond membership pack i received recently, there wasn't much at all actually.

[Con Gorozidis]

Agree with you jb
Seems like a waste

[mr six o'clock]

I'm a member .... moan moan moan
I'm not a member .... moan moan moan
I got a scarf .... moan moan moan
I didn't get a scarf .... moan moan moan
We win a game .... moan moan moan
We lose a game .... moan moan moan
My brain hurt's .... moan moan moan

[joffaboy]

Mine was a Platinum pack. Maybe it is only at that membership class.

Still it is a crap design

As for moaning Billy Crystal, wasn't a moan, just an observation. you sound like a tolerant type of person.

didn't men to upset you jb
it's like they say

" hanging around
nothing to do but frown
rainy days and mondays always get me down ! "

[skeptic]

I think this is one of those instances where if common sense prevailed it wouldn't be an issue.

Surely the club could just have a tick box on the application form/page etc

Yes I would like my free scarf or No I wouldn't

easy

[PakenhamSaint]

I got a scarf and I'm a bronze member. When I was re doing mine this year they asked if you wanted to go on the payment plan.

[saintbrat]

As stated in membership, email, letter, brochure, and online

Scarf is being given to those who
A) are on rollover plan
B) elect to be on roll over plan

I can see the aim, to encourage more to do rollover, cut down on delay of membership numbers rolling at the beginning of campaigns

Just to be different, I like getting a scarf each year. Yes I got one because I am on a rollover membership.
I liked this years scarf design too. Thanks SKFC.

good on you Saintbeth, wasn't a critisism, just to me, it is a waste of money

Billy Crystal, I have been on holidays for a month, just spent two weeks in Vietnam on a great adventure and life is great. Not down at all, and you could not ever possibly upset me, an anonomous person on an internet forum never has that effect on me.

[saintspremiers]

Why not have our years of membership embossed onto the scarves like what the Hawks do??

[bobmurray]

The club could ask the ladies in the coterie groups to do it, the ladies could work it around their media engagements...

[Armoooo]

Great looking scarf, top effort saints.

[matrix]

yeah got ours the other day
im over the scarf thing, it doesnt bother me if i get one or not tbh
we have that many now its not funny
theyre all shoved in a bag in a cupboard somewhere.

i will say that hte 500 coins i paid for in memberships was really just a 490 coin donation to the club
the stuff you get sent really REALLY is crap
and ive gone from being able to get 5 games in melbs down to two i think
not that we're going to get over for 5 games but blimey they are cutting costs in a serious manner.

i thought this years scarf design was one of the worst for a while
no matter, it wont be worn

just bring on some footy and f*** this cricket shite off

Agreed. I said it last year and I'll say it again: the last thing Australians need is more cheap crap from China.

[matrix]

yup..we have enough of that crap being driven on the roads and we have more in the future

[SaintPav]

The scarf is ok though but what's with all the white?

Like I'm going to use the key ring. Will go in hard rubbish.
