Just worked 20 hours overtime this week so I'll be buying my home & away membership despite the fact I can usually only get to about 10 games or so. Payday tomorrow & I'll be parting with the hard earned tomorrow for a renewal.

Yeah, they were confused. It was all about on field performance and the scheduling had not to do with it. I am sure you have a better understating of their reasoning than they do. They must also be confused about where they live and how long it takes them to get from the MCG to their home.
Wake up to yourself. You are speculating on the motivation people that you do not know and probably have never set eyes on..
It is all about getting enjoyment and value out of their investment into their membership. There is little return if they do not attend.
By the way their family have still maintained two Captains Membership to share. |
I totally understand where your brother and sister in-law are coming from because poor scheduling, affordability, distance and just growing disillusionment of the game can cause people to jump off from attending matches. It's disappointing to see loyal members like them drop off because of poor scheduling and frankly this year's scheduling was some of the worst I've ever seen.
Sure the AFL is trying to rectify by saying 2015 is the 'year of the fan' with much more family-friendly fixtures and activities but when people drop off it's very hard to convince them to come back. I don't think one bad year of scheduling can cause people to drop off but I think many years of disillusionment on this matter can though. Also the AFL shouldn't declare 2015 the 'year of the fan' because every year should be catered to the supporters who help the AFL and TV networks generate revenue in the first place.
I must admit scheduling looks drastically better next year after a decline in crowd numbers in Victoria this year so hopefully it lives up to expectation next year.

yeah im with you, I know a few saying the same thing!!
the prickles will be back hopefully by mid season!!
hey, you gotta think positive!!  |
They are done TP. They will be putting the money saved into holidays. |
It's a cycle thing to though. I went to every game for about 4 years as a teenager, including the commodore cup. Then I started riding horses, stopped for a while, then when the kids were young, stopped again, now I go with one daughter. When she decided it's not cool hanging out with mum, or has friends to go with, I'll probably call it quits rather than attend every game alone. Cheers

Haha wow. I forgot the then-vocal 'Varcoe sucks' contingent. Thankfully he made them look pretty stupid pretty quickly.

^Nobody saying don't recruit Varcoe at the time looks stupid now at all (well, not for the Varcoe reason anyway...).
He was crap at Geelong, and has played all of about a dozen pretty good games for us so far.
