I'm very interested in how my fellow members feel they're being treated as supporters.
If they're being treated great, then speak up and tell us what a great job they're doing. If not, speak up and say so. Supporters are the club - don't EVER forget that.
And if this isn't the place to discuss St Kilda issues with fellow supporters...I'm lost as to where that place should be. And if you don't like that people are expressing their views about the club here, then don't look - you know what's in here.
Obviously, some people have higher expectations than others.
From what I've seen in the business world, there are often various "levels" of inclusion to memberships.
It's abit like flying. If you travel economy, you get what you get. If you travel business, you get more... and 1st, you get silver service.
As a supporter, you get to follow. As a basic member, you pay for limited priviledges.
Over the years TBH, I haven't felt any more or less loved by the club. I doubt any of them would know from a pile of bird poop. Always been that way, and unless I get involved... will always be that way.
My expectation as a member is to get entry, and a vote. As a Social Club member.. it's only an option taked for the opp of a GF ticket.
Beyond that, all I ask in the club is that it makes responsible decisions that will:
A- Keep us viable financially, and
B- Give the players every possibly opp to win a flag.
The Level 2 fiasco was poor form. Granted. But as Degruch rightly points out, the best way to make the club aware is to make a lot of noise.
If I was Archie and I was aware, via this forum, I probably wouldn't do anything either, because it's 4 or 5 out 30,000 make the noise.
In answer to your question... over 38 years the club has done jack shyte to make me feel loved. Only various levels of pride and frustration.
As a basic member, I don't expect anything different. I'm a part of the club because I choose to be, and do so under the full understanding of my relationship with the club, and my entitlements as a member.
If I want more, I'd volunteer to help them in some sort of way.
Others, obviously feel different, and it's your right to do so.
My view is that if you're p1ssed off, let them know. And good luck to you all. But just because some of us aren't as emotional about it, please don't ask the question "what have they done for you lately?"
It's irrelevant coz we ain't disgrunteld in the first place. So we really don't have to back up our point of view. You Jb and a few others have made the running here.
So do something pro-active if it p1sses you off so much.
Peace.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
