Membership 2015/16

[Futbol_Crazy21]

With the league and discounted cup+acl tickets, theres lots of games to make membership worth while.

no. memberships so far = 3,897

Two weeks seen an increase of nearly 200 members, hopefully theres a lot more to come or the club haven't posted yet, because we should really be breaking 10k.

Yeah AU, Perth and Brissy should all be aiming for 10k.

I'm yet to get my interstate membership yet....

This is the first year i havnt renewed immediately.

Ill be missing a few games due to work and travel so ill probably be taking the 10 game membership or what ever the equivalent is this season.

I signed up again just before the discount window closed. This time I didn't do the captain's club/financial membership. There was no incentive this season for someone who doesn't vote etc, I'd rather put the money towards some new merch.

I only just re signed with an interstate membership but i also signed my daughter to her first baby reds membership. She still does not fit into the aufc beanie and bib yet.

[bpowell454]

Still counts as 2!. I forgot about the baby reds membership. I'm gonna sign up my 9 day old now!

If everyone on here keeps having kids we'll reach 10,000 in no time haha

Sounds like a plan.

I dropped my Captain's Club membership as well, pretty much the same boat as bpowell.

[Max Power]

Same as you guys, normal red membership now, no more captain club.

I'm curious, for those not buying the captain's club membership, are you opting not to because you don't use your vote, you don't know what your money is going to or simply just it gives you nothing so you see no point?

A few seasons ago I would say there was very little point to it.
Now the AUMC runs the AU NPL side and generates extra income thru the Castle Tavern.
Hopefully once the Playford training facility is ready to go they side will play their home games there making the facility far more viable.
In the coming seasons the NPL side will have to set up a youth system if they want to remain in the NPL. All of these things will benefit the AU HAL side in the future so I think the AUMC has never been more important.

I did it again this year. It's pretty much just a donation to the AUMC but I'm not convinced it has any real value. Especially if there's not enough take up as the only thing I can see it's useful for is so the AUMC to be able to say that it has x thousand members so how about some government funding for project y.

Yeah which is exactly why I'm gonna sign up for it this year. I've been meaning to do it in previous years but I was a lot of talk and never ended up doing it. May as well sign up this year, go to the AGM, see if my money is being put to good use (invested in the youth team etc.) and then I'll decide whether to sign up for future seasons.

But I was more interested in why ppl who have signed up to it in previous seasons and have now decided not to.

I wouldn't be surprised if more people think the same as Claw and are keen to put their money into some Griff operates.
