I want to help posters on here who can't afford a membership

Post: # 1950353Post SunnyErnie »

Is anyone else on here interested in pitching in to buy a membership(s) for those on here who can't afford one?

To those that don't have the finances to buy a membership but would like one, please send me a DM. I can't promise anything but I will do my best.

To those that want to get involved and help out with donations, please DM me.

This is not a s*** stir. I would like to do this to help our fellow posters that might be down on their luck and at the same time help the Saints!!!

Personally I think we should be trying to encourage the poor to support North.

Come on people. Even if we can buy a 3 game membership for someone that's not going to set us back too much.

I just had a look and it is less than $100.

All I need is say 5 people (including myself), to contribute less than $20 each and we can make someone on here very happy with a 3 game membership!!!

It's too bad we still don't have pokies, we could also donate betting coupons and drink cards.

I have been warned about you saynta. Always trying to sabotage posts and bring others down.

I am happy to donate $50 of my own money and I'm prepared to deposit it into St Byron's account. If you match my offer then we can buy a 3 game membership for someone not so fortunate on SAINTSATIONAL. @st.byron

I'm eagerly awaiting your response.

You guys are all very welcome to deposit $50 into my account. Make it $100. Round numbers are nicer.
It's a nice idea Ernie, but it's not something I'm willing to take on or hold money for.

Cheers

All jokes aside, anyone on here that knows a Sainter that cannot afford a membership please let me know. I am more than happy to pay for it myself. Three game membership is only about $100.

How would anyone know which posters on here can't afford a membership, it's not like SS runs an unfortunates list.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Very altruistic of you oh Sunny one. Very hard to manage on a forum such as this, to that end I'd steer clear for a number of reasons if I were you.

I'm sure the Club would accept a donation to brighten the lives of sainters experiencing hard times.

I agree GL, the best idea Sunny Ernie, if you really want to help someone that can't afford to pay for a membership, is to contact the club and I'm sure they will be able to nominate someone who is deserving. The other thing you can try is to get in touch with a charity (St Vinies or Salvos) in the Moorabbin area, which would make it more personal for you....

Thanks for the ideas but I would like to help someone in here. They are doing the same on Bigfooty/St Kilda and I thought it would be nice to match them

The thing is with this gesture is
If someone can't afford a 3 game membership , then they won't be able to afford all the other costs associated with going to the footy these days .
Train ride $12+ ( don't actually know as I haven't been on one in en years )
Car park $10+ ( depends where you park )
Food and beverage $15 ( that's a pie and a coke , shedloads more if you want something substantial and alcohol. )
So say $50 minimum spending money is needed per game .
So I reckon your gunna have to spurge at least 6 pineapples to make the lucky recipients footy dreams come true .
Good luck 👍

Sunny good on you for having a go
I’ve been doing it tough this year, have lost access to corporate box and now have to pay for my pies etc lining up with the horde. What makes matters worse is I find I struggle to get jam doughnuts at Marvel
$50 direct to my account would mean I can get an Uber out of the ground at half time, grab my doughnuts and make it back for the 3rd
All jokes aside - I think I’ll need $100.
Yours faithfully
