How about 1. SMISA premium members - Picked-up and dropped off from their door to their padded seat every game, a halftime finger buffet, a full 60 second applause from everyone else on the 25 minute mark (every game), a new commemorative pin badge (every game), to decide on the quarterly vote subjects (and the only people allowed to vote on them) and our own board elevated above the original one highlighting how great a collective support they truly are. 2. Everyone else - Flogged on the street before games. After all we they are all sooooo much better than everyone else and you can't move for them turning their noses up at other fans.

The thing about additional benefits is they have to be benefits. Something that's nice to have. Surely you could make the argument 'everyone should get' for literally anything they choose as a benefit for the premium members? Great idea £20 for non SMISA members, £10 for steerage class SMISA members, with 7 members of the family in steerage class, would be a great stocking filler for Christmas, can picture the Christmas dinner with non members without there badges Edited September 17, 2018 by portmahomack saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 20 hours ago, bazil85 said: Bit of an over reaction Billy, don't you think? I don't see a 'them and us' strategy at all. It was well advertised from day one there would be additional benefits depending on what membership level you went into. It's hardly like the badge says 'look at me I pay more money' it's a simple pin celebrating us winning the league. Would you really be happy with people jeopardising the whole BTB model over them making good on what they promised? Must admit I also think SMISA has got this wrong. Yes premium members should get benefits such as a match day experience a certificate and so on. To produce a badge that can be seen worn by a member I would have thought why did I not get one. Certainly not going to pull out of SMISA over this but it has not been thought out very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it ever happening. Even if it did, why would anyone rise to it? The person would have to be very shallow to think they were better than anyone else over £13 p/m. In saying that, it's people's opinion and they're welcome to it, if that's how they really feel. I struggle to see the difference in applying the principle to say someone posting on social media about match day experience because they're a premium member to showing off a badge. Again, I doubt either would ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like yourself who can put in extra to the pot should be commended just the same as the £12 members after all we all want the same thing for the club. So my opinion is not against you or any other members. A badge should be available to all members I stand by that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't missed by SMISA, stop making stuff up. They were completely transparent this was part of the package and unless someone can tell us otherwise, received no feedback that this wouldn't be a good thing to give as a benefit. SMISA 'We're going to have pin badges as a benefit' No feedback on this as an idea SMISA do as they say and give pin badges as a benefit LPM 'They should of known better' Your unfounded, anti-SMISA agenda beggars belief.

BuddieinEK Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Anyone fancy swapping their SMISA elite badge for a genuine Jim'll will fix it badge I think the superfluous "will" points towards your badge being a cheap foreign counterfeit!Besides; for some reason, even the genuine ones have failed to hold their value.

saint in exile Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 This is a load of fuss over f*ck all. I don't and won't have one of these badges, and don't feel "oppressed" or diminished in any way because someone else has. Grow up, FFS. On the other hand, I have a brick, so I spit on all you lesser fans who haven't. F*cking peasants! Lick my boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 My final post on this , we won the league last season , probably the only thing we'll win during the Smisa purchasing process. Smisa are dependant on keeping a decent amount of subscribers to see the whole thing through , they need everyone onside. Given that we're Smisa members , and that we may not win anything else during the process , would a wee memento of our league win , for everyone involved , be too much to ask ? Ach , naw , just give them to the big shots ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
