2024/2025 Memberships

[marinermick]

I bought four memberships thirteen years ago. Like Mariner Mick who says that he brings a thousand dollars to the club each year, I also have helped fund the club. By pandering to his whinge for special attention, the club celebrates the division between Foundation and others. I refuse to be a second-class member, so no renewals for me next season.
Pass that on too will you Jimmy

You just don’t stop with the passive aggressiveness and the aggressive aggressiveness. I will apologise now for kicking your dog in the past ten years. I just don’t remember it but I feel it must have been something like this.

I'm not a foundation member. I lived in Newcastle in season 1 - 4. I didn't support the jets (although I did go to some games as it was the only show in town). I went to season 1 and 2008 GFs with mates.

I probably got my first mariners membership in 2012 with my son who was about 6. I took my old man for a few seasons but he's getting on and isn't keen for it anymore. I sign up me and 2 kids now, although the kids aren't keen as much - teenagers 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I don't have any problems with foundation members being recognised. I certainly don't feel like a different class of member. If you stump up for 2 decades from day 1 some recognition seems appropriate.

I joined in season 2 and have total respect for the originals. The (old FFA) wanted memberships to show support for the licence.
Arguably without these guys we may not be here at all

. bastard! i lost my sweetheart deal when Dan moved out of membership

This deal is incorrect. Gold members who sat in Bay 6 when it changed to Platinum were kept at Gold price as a gift for them. That is the only situation like this.

There were no deals for Season 1 members getting Platinum at Gold price. If this was the case for someone, it wasn't cause they were a Foundation Member.

They lost the spreadsheet some years ago.
No back up apparently

There is still data on Foundation Members. Granted it's not perfect as yes the spreadsheet was lost in season 3 I believe. However, it still has enough info on it of who the original 1000 odd members were. Can easily use that data to see who is a member this year. What they may not be able to confirm is who has been a member each year continuously.

Due to the lost spreadsheet plus not having a proper CRM ever (Memberlink via Ticketek is f**king shite and should never be called a CRM), they can't see year on year data unless a spreadsheet of every member from every season has been saved. Dan and myself did have this in place but won't be surprised if it's no longer current.

I am pretty sure there was a deal offered in season one. It involved a photo of the team as well. Pieman and his family who sat next to us in Bay 38 was one of the recipients. I can remember thinking when talking to him that I wished I had taken advantage of it when it was originally offered.
It was still running when I moved from GA to platinum in either season 3 or 4.
We need someone here who was a beneficiary with a better memory than me.

Ah ok I get you. Maybe there was a deal offered back then, but when I was running memberships there was nobody sitting in Platinun paying Gold price because of a deal like that, that I am aware of. So it must have stopped by then.

If this can be believed (from season 3), it appears that there were only 600 members in season1.
