I read this site once or twice a week - and i NEVER EVER go to the MWSE site. I have never heard ONE THING about membership from this club. I have been going to games since i was 9 years old, went to school across the road, and i get a ferry from Manly to the City EVERY DAY.Â
I love my club, i love the area. I have been a member of the leagues club.Â
But there is ZERO incentive for me to join..... Other than to make a \"donation\". Who the F wants to make a friggin donation????? I don't go to ,y local pub and say \"here is $70, just wanted you to have it because i like you to be here....\"
We live in an age where people demand value for money. We (I), and more than happy to pay money if i get value from something. I need to know it exists, and i need to know what i get out of it. these are cornerstones of marketing......
I feel like i support an amateur club sometimes......
Are you just trying to stir sh1t?
Your local pub is a private enterprise run solely for the profit of the owners. Of course you don't donate to that.
The Football club is more of a community facility to think of in a user pays way.
Every time you feel happy that Manly has won, you're using the facility. Every time you argue footy with someone who supports a different team, you're using the facility.
The fact of the team existing is what you get out of it. That's your value.
Why shouldn't you pay?
