Anyone else going to the Focus group the club has on tomorrow night? I am going to one at 6 O Clock. Light refreshments and a 70 dollar voucher. They want to know what we want for next year. For one I would like the price to come down but that aint going to happen.Any Legends members fell free to PM me with any ideas. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Hadn't heard a thing about it. Did they contact you by email or phone?
Seat buyback would be something I'd be hoping is discussed. Similar to the system the Swans and the Bombers I believe have in that if you can't make it to a game you can tell the club and they can offer the seat to other members, with the seat owner receiving a reduction off their next year's membership. I haven't been able to get to as many games as I would have liked this last season and a half and that system would have been handy. We are moving to Brisbane in August this year and I am not sure what to do about membership. _________________ "The night is a very dark time for me" Chaz Michael Michaels |

They only pick a small cross section.
Sometimes they get it wrong. When I went last year it was a discussion about how to get the group to sign up to be members. Seeing I was a Gold Legends member at the time I think they missed their mark. _________________ Now Retired - Every Day Is A Saturday |

Well the usual cocktail party got turned into a Collingwood Conference last year, what happened this year, it has completely disappeared. So now we get nothing for the extra money! |

I got all excited when you said 'Legends Focus Group'. I thought brilliant, a forum to bitch about the massive rip off the membership is!
I was disappointed. |

I was asked to attend one of two Club 5 sessions this evening.
I sent the Club an email with feedback instead.
xbromley@collingwoodfc.com.au.
He was appreciative of the response.
I think Club membership prices are OK in general. People will always complain they are paying too much. I am not sure of the value of 5x$900 up-front for Club 5 relative to a Legends membership of $895 in this the 5th year though. Should be some discount for providing an up-front contribution rather than in effect a penalty as it turns out. The club has done a reasonable job of keeping a lid on membership price inflation in the past 5 years in my opinion.
Things to consider
- What do you think of your seat allocation?
- What do you think of the club communication to members and Legends members in particular? The new 'Ask the Coaches' is good I think but we'll see what the responses are like
- Do you get preceived value for the extra membership for things like 'priority access to Copeland Trophy'. Obviously AFL finals access incl GF is a benefit _________________ One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership |

One thing I'd love to put forward -
How to fill up the Ponsford End, particularly ground level, and bring back a bit of atmosphere at all home & away games, not just ANZAC Day.
We get good crowds but they are spread out throughout the G and the Ponny's usually half empty - I believe due to seats being allocated in the area to members who don't turn up, and seats are set aside for members signing up on gameday.
My solution has the membership department allocating seats in this area to those that turn up every week. Maybe via a check-box on the seating form with a "attend most games" option, which is easy to check up on these days with the electronic barcodes. _________________ "I am a great sage, equal of heaven.

Yep. Seat buy back would be worth considering. Give the seats back to the fans and at least get the bottom of the Ponny filled. It looks crap with so many empty seats each week.. |

And it would be better for them to end up in the hands, actually backsides of Pies members rather than making their way to opposition supporters.
I think the club had/has some sort of partnership/arrangement with a third party ticket seller but that seems like bullshit to me. A system like the Swans and Bombers would be much better. _________________ "The night is a very dark time for me" Chaz Michael Michaels |

I got a text and rang them. 2 groups at different times and a balance of age and sex. I joined to get a GF ticket and wouldn't know where my seat is because I stand. Although next year I will be living in Thailand (coup withstanding) and will get an overseas membership. Only going because I am 4 months away from full retirement and I have no money and am bored so a free feed and 70 bucks is handy (it had better not be a merchandising voucher). I am also gooing to ask about the lack of a fridge magnet. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

^ I thought it was full? Some people drop off Legends this year? I know I did last year. Just too expensive for me with a little bub. |
