CCM Membership feedback and thoughts

[Wombat]

The Newcastle membership deal was genius. My son only came to 1 game at CCS but went to both games at Scum stadium and got a big buzz out of it. He will renew next year on the back of the scum games only.

Spotless looked like a hole, the photos from where our fans were located was horrible. There was no way I was paying +$30 to sit there.

The 1st WSW game the away bay was shit but the 2nd game was better as we were behind the goal.

I'm a non-ticketed member as I live in Melbourne and proudly wear my Mariners member hat around town. I've noticed that we have a small following of Mariners in Melbourne, probably around 100, I would personally rather paying for a far more expensive membership if it were to possibly include games in a certain state, an interstate style membership (sometimes seen in the AFL) would encourage a few more in the away bay I feel but can completely understand if that is far too hard a thing to negotiate with other clubs.

The club introduced this a couple of years ago but I guess for Melbourne or Sydney it could be enhanced given at least 3 games are played there each season: http://memberships.ccmariners.com.au/Packages/Home-and-Away

Thanks for the heads up Timmah! I would go for it but does the General Admission include the away bay?

I think all in all the membership was good value, especially with the Newcastle freebee. It would be nice to maybe have something thrown in ( or as a small cost option ) for the young kids ( eg back pack ).
And Dan the man was awesome. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

I think until comments like this stop coming from the FFA senior leadership:

"What is also critical to appreciate about our governance model is that the A-League clubs in Australia are not ‘clubs’ in the more traditional European or South American sense. They are all privately owned … and as such are ‘for-profit’ entities whose objective … is to act in the interests of their shareholders (and in doing so build the sales value of their asset) and not act in the interests of the game of football in Australia as a whole."

People who pay money to become "members" arent going to feel too critical to the club, regardless of whether you call them members, shareholders or sheep.

. i find it interesting that most of you have are discussing the merits or reasoning of being referred to as members or season ticket holders

. i find that interesting because i reckon probably half(?) of our current members are not even season ticket holders ... they are occasional ticket holders, some even being non-ticketed

And still not members in the true sense of the word.
Australians i believe call this type of support membership because with our league and afl "memberships" come actual club memberships with voting rights for board make up and such.
Don't know that the aleague will ever be able to have that type of model.
Our club may be able to offer something extra when the COE is completed in regards to membership but i can't see any aleague club under the current ownership models ever offering voting rights for board membership

I got my sister to her first game in the scum dom . I thought it was a great promo .
I also want to know about renewing .
Atleast if ive got my membership i can hang on while the season comes around .

Watching the local football also helps .
Come on you yellow and brown
