don't mind the bonus- Mine will be in early

looks like those after a cap will be dissapointed

I am very happy with the scarfe being offered. The only shame about that is (what I believe Hawthorn do) which is have the number of years you've been a member. Otherwise, well done Saints, more than happy to wear the 2008 premiership scarfe

the scarf and "saintsational" dvd look good

BUT I NEED A STICKER!!!

Westaway toyed with my sticker love in the first effort - I better get something better than the see-through effort this year. Otherwise I need to crack open one of our believe or burn tins.

Cap - Scarf.....Same thing....

...Makes you feel like the $220 for Social Football club membership is actually appreciated.

WOOO HOOO

I think the Bonus DVD is a cracking idea. A genuine incentive to sign up early that really does appeal to ALL Saints fans, not just those who wanna drool over the guys with their tops off.

Great stuff, fantastic package.

It will be great to see all of our members waving the 2008 scarves in TD, round 1.

ROFL, nice one there

Yeah the bonus DVD and the scarf is a very good idea. I'll definitely renew before Christmas now.

same here I want that DVD.

luke.l_26 · Post: # 475368Post **luke.l_26** » Sat 13 Oct 2007 4:32pm

that's sweet!
while the calendar was good, The dvd sounds like an awesome initiative.
I can't wait now!

st_Trav_ofWA · Sat 13 Oct 2007 6:31pm

in honesty i think the DVD would of been a cheeper option then the callender (if ever you have tryed to get a callender made you will understand why )

correct.....DVD's would be dirt cheap to produce en masse and easy to mail out also.....the calendar only really appeals to chicks and gay men, DVD appeals prob to a wider cross section of Saints fans (ie. most males!).

The scarf will be handy.....my current one is about 15 years old!!!

But will we get our tin also??

saintbrat · Post: # 475678Post **saintbrat** » Sat 13 Oct 2007 10:48pm

I am imagining that the DVD is for early birds and the scarf is for all members- will await the brochure and see.

is there no bumper sticker for 2008?
if there isnt i will be very pi$$es off as our car looks pretty boring at the moment with only the 5 saints stickers on it!

saintbrat · Post: # 475720Post **saintbrat** » Sat 13 Oct 2007 11:41pm

I would imagine there will be a sticker- we all await the first news of the brochure and packages but the hint looks good.

OneEyedSainter77 · Sun 14 Oct 2007 12:39am

Wow terrific news! No doubt I'm renewing my membership -gotta be pon board for the saints every step of the way!

Wish they offered the DVD every year, would have been nice to have some 2005-06 highlights as well.

riccardo · Post: # 475788Post **riccardo** » Sun 14 Oct 2007 9:21am

Finally with a members scarf! We're only about 5 years behind.

I put this down to the new board, every year in the satisfaction survey a scarf idea is floated but kept getting knocked back because of price, but if North can afford it, why couldn't we?

I guess selling them to those who wanted them last year could have been a factor as well.

They look great, anyway.

saintbrat · Post: # 475802Post **saintbrat** » Sun 14 Oct 2007 9:48am

new board is NOT official yet
and to create a scarf would have taken some planning

So I say THANKS to the membership department and maybe supporters giving enough hints.

Dont want time as member on the scarf, lot of people sometimes personal / financial problems etc. should not have to feel de-valued by having a scarf saying 1 year as their contribution is still important.

My wife was/is a dorks member for about 10-12 years and when they traded Croad she took a year off in protest, soon after they provided her a scarf saying member 2 years or something like that, she was too embarrassed to wear it as it made her look like she was a bandwagon member when in fact she had been paid up and passionate

for about 15+ years

st_Trav_ofWA · Sun 14 Oct 2007 3:28pm

thats a good point a 1 year supporter who buys a membership is not a lesser supporter then one who has been for 20years they all are suporters and put their money where their mouth is

after all ive only in the last 3 years been in a situation to buy a membership and i feel im as passionate about my team as the next guy

The new board is happening, official or not....creating a new scarf is not rocket science and if the new guys actually did extract the digit it is possible they have it organised....well, the design at least......the actual produce doesn't need to be delivered until the membership packs come out.

keep saving.

Got a question on Membership if someone can assist.

Have been a football club member for nigh on 10 years now and a social club member for the last 5.

However I am going overseas for about 3 years in a month with my partner to complete some studies.

Is it possible to get an 'international' membership (cheaper) and pay the social club fee on top of this as;

1. I want to keep supporting the Sainters
2. I do not want to break my consecutive years of social club membership (you know - the optimist)

If I could do this I would sign up today before I left but I haven't had a response yet from the membership dept at the Saints.

Cheers

Splayder
