AJ as a child going to Camberwell games, I used to love the ticket being punched at the gate. I remember lots of clubs having different shapes, some circles, some triangles, squares and one a star. It's a little thing but it remains a great memory as a young supporter.
Funny you mention this because I was looking at my 2019 membership card the other day and noticed the back of it had numbers from 1 to 21 on it, and the first number had been clipped. I can't remember this being a common thing as a kid but maybe they were planning on bringing it back until COVID scrapped those plans.
Yeah NorthPort, that's one of those weird little things I miss about the old days of footy too! I was both a Carlton and a Frankston member and wouldn't be satisfied if even one game wasn't clipped by season's end. I remember the bloke at Port laughing at me one day because as an away member he reckoned he didn't need to clip my ticket and I asked (probably way too strongly to sound normal haha) that he do it anyway. He looked at me like I was nuts (fair call) and did it thankfully. God forbid someone saw my ticket and thought I'd missed a game!
Billy, I'm sorry you feel that way about buying a Zebs membership, but completely understand given the circumstances there at the moment. Is there any positive news about you lot escaping the Saints' clutches? It's horrible to watch such a proud old club being stripped of its' identity like that.
Paul, am glad you still keep that connection to the place, and yes you're right, we need every member we can get. The landscape is showing no signs of getting easier for clubs like ours.
Always a Dolphs member nowadays, since the AFL stopped distributing $$ to standalones the revenue from memberships is absolute lifeblood.
