The whingers won. Can’t wait to see half empty stands for games that should be sellouts because opposition supporters don’t show up (demons in particular).

So, if I’m reading this correctly…. I no longer have the same seat for our home AND away games?

If true, that’s pretty shit. I pay $1000 for that (and guaranteed GF tickets) so if that’s no longer the case then I’d hope I’m allocated similarly good seats (second level) or provided with a discounted membership if I’m having to watch away games from the nosebleeds.

No, my understanding is it only affects 'away' reserved seat holders. Home seats will remain the same as they are.

Our original away reserved seat allocation was 15,000. This has now been reduced to 11,000-12,000 from next year onwards. Unfortunately, 3-4K members are going to lose their seats. How they determine this is anyone's guess.

Yeah… so currently I sit in the exact seat regardless whether it’s a home or away game…..

This won’t be the case for 2024 onwards.

Right?

So the away games I’ll have some other seat, probably not second level Ponsford.

That’s crap.

Yes, unfortunately it's a possibility.

You must be one of the lucky ones - and I presume this applies to people who have a long standing Legends membership. I have had mine for 12+ years and have always had a reserved away seat on level 4 of the Ponsford (home game reserved seat is on level 1).

If that's the case then we should stop sharing the gate receipts for our home / away games.

Time for us to make a stand.

20 years or so I think.

I don’t want to give up my reserved seat in the second level of the Ponny.

This is bullshit!

Help the struggling pieces of shit clubs & this is what you get in return, a good old shafting.
Time to think of ourselves for once.

No more giving away QB/KB gate takings (I get we’re no longer doing this, just using this as an example) no more financial assistance to prop up the likes of Bulldogs & NM & to some extent RICH when they were cellar dwellers for years.

Fk the lot of ‘em!

The strength and attractiveness of being a legends member is sitting in the same seat with the same Collingwood people around me. I’d be buggered before I have to share space with supporters of the filth or Richmond near me (home and away). …..(I might want to reframe that😉)


Club will lose members over it

I don't mind with my Reserved Seats are being Moved but IF lose them all together I just downgrade my Membership unless the Club makes the Legends Membership Cheaper
