Are You Renewing Your Membership?

[Peter C]

So if success on the field is not a requirement to establish a large membership base do you think it might be the way the club is administered, or the way the fans and members are treated?

Just saying.

Perhaps administration is an issue, but I would say a bigger issue is apathy from supporters, we've had enormous success over the past fifty or so years, and we've taken it for granted, we always expected successs.
We got a kick in the arse and a rude awakening when the merger with Norths was forced upon us, but we came out of it with results better than ever, yet our membership numbers are still low, and I hate the cliche that Manly fans will not go over the Spit Bridge, I do, I travel from the Sutherland Shire for every home game.
In regards to the administration and Toovey, what's done is done, it was obvious he was not wanted by the owners, for whatever reason, but they will both have move on.

It's been talked about before. It's a demographics thing. The style of person resident on the Northern Beaches is different to the South and West. Norths had this problem to an even greater extent than we do. The North Shore resident is a different beast again.
Sport takes a different place within the psyche around these parts. Not necessarily lesser or greater but it's approached differently. Bandwagoning a big event seems more important (though it still generally doesn't involve actual attendance). Sitting out in the elements (and that includes at an all seater stadium) just doesn't seem to appeal to these people unless it involves a beach. I don't get it and as a lifelong NB's person I never have. But that's how it is. Weather also seems to play a huge part in decision making. To me weather is an enemy that I refuse to allow to get the better of me. This is not the NB's way. Weather is a partner that has the deciding vote, in the mind of your typical MWP resident.
They're a weird people and it's a battle the current management don't seem keen to take on.

Ahh you beat me to it. First an email. Then 33 more. Then a letter or 2. Got my first text message today. They clearly have my mobile number but it seems all they want is my credit card number instead. I wonder if sportsbet will have odds on an actual phone call?

Terrible marketing with, as per the now nornal, no idea how to engage fans

 

[Eric Galt]

Certainly in no hurry to renew especially after another ridiculous decision to employ this braindead wanker as a coach.
