barrymitchell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah but it depends on when you signed up as there's a certain amount of notice that needs to be given to a bank to setup a direct debit mandate. For example if you sign up now the first payment wouldn't be taken until the 1st of August as typically we do indeed take payments on the first of the month.

Aljarov Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Was sat with my Dad having a drink in Vancouver (Canada) on vacation when he mentioned he had signed up. He never mentioned it before. He has lived in England for 35 years, while I've been in the USA for 15+ now. I laughed, he's Paisley born but has always been more of a rugby man (played into his 60s). Still, he asked me what I had talked him into signing and other than assuring the clubs future in the right hands, and a name on a plaque, I wasn't too sure. Has anything started to be firmed up for what membership means? What kinds of things we'll be involved in (outside of electing a representative)? Kit choices? discount pricing on certain things? I dunno...I guess these are the kinds of things normally you'd ask BEFORE buying something but that wasn't ever going to be the case here. It was about getting it done first and foremost. I'd like something as simple as a member card, or a member's only scarf (even if we have to buy it, an exclusive design for members). Maybe a patch to be worn on the shirtsleeve. That kind of thing.

There are a number of ideas, like yours being considered in regards 'what do i get that says i am a member' i must say i like you're exclusive SMiSA scarf idea. I will make sure that is something that is considered too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aljarov Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Other random stuff i've seen for things like this over here in MLS are: all the names of season ticket holder (or in our case, members) in the design of a shirt http://www.coloradorapids.com/post/2013/02/25/new-rapids-jerseys-feature-fans-names-tribute-colorado-flag I've also seen the pictures of STHs in the numbers http://soccerblog.dallasnews.com/2015/07/fc-dallas-honors-season-ticket-holders-by-putting-them-on-game-jerseys.html/ http://www.nycfc.com/content/season-ticket-holders Something like this, as a one-off, would be a nice keep-sake for those who purchase jerseys. The numbers could, theoretically, still be doable for the current campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers could, theoretically, still be doable for the current campaign. Hearts did something similar. I don't think it particularly rewards members but it is a clever bit of marketing as it would be expected that most people whose name is on the shirt will buy it. The Scotland Travel Club used to give stuff out to members when they renewed. I don't know if they still do it but I've had a scarf, a keyring and a DVD of the Scotland v Netherlands match.
