Also plenty of medium income families have both memberships, it's not exactly a exclusive club. You just have to put your name down fairly early on.
For full mmbership I think it is 15+ years for the MCC and 8+ years for the AFl.
Any member can nominate anyone else, you don't have to show your bank balance :lol:

And if tickets for MCC and AFL members were reserved for those that actually supported the teams playing we could get another 50,000 members of the competing clubs into the ground.
It’s an old-money old-Melbourne boy’s club scam set-up by parasites for parasites.
The Grand Final would be a million times better it was reserved for the people that actually put in the bulk of football revenue, not a bunch of tossers that pay a few hundred bucks per year and expect and get the world in return.
I pay anywhere between $450 to $600 per year for my MCC membership, as do thousands of other people.
Calling us parasites.....get a clue you flog!!!
I don't need to be nominated by a parasite do I?
That nomination doesn't need to be seconded by a paraside does it?
I surely don't need to sit on a waiting list for 20+ years do I?
It's old boy exclusivism of the worst kind.

Stiff that you're out of work, but If you can afford what you say you have, you're doing a lot better than many I know.Gurgman wrote:All im saying is dont bite your nose off despite your face , your not the only ones getting screwed , they only created the AFL members to pay off the Southern stand , once that was done they soon cut back what we got with our membershipCURLY wrote:What does it say clown?

Sounds like you've been doing very well for quite a while.

Why would I bother placing forth any arguments when all you do is bitch and moan because you feel hard done by? Obviously you cannot afford the memberships for these areas (as most cannot in these hard times) but don't begrudge others who can. To call them 'parasites' is pitiful and childish at best.suss wrote:Gee that's a clever argument with some really cogent points.
