    The current memberships are set by the standing costs of the organisation (player salaries, staff etc) + ground rents. There is no reason why the standing costs should change significantly, so the only real change is effectively one and a half ground rents. What they've said to date is that Subi was $1.9M, so over 6.5 games it was effectively $290k/match. They've also said that ME Bank halves that, so call it $150k/match. Spread across a working average crowd of 15,000 (say), that is a tenner a match so there is not really any justification for the memberships to go up by more than ~$20 even assuming no additional revenues from the expansion.

    They may well, but if so it would likely have more to do with the operating losses last year, what might happen this year, the amateur clubs needing/wanting more money and support, and even the simple desire to cash in on the seating supply/demand equation at ME Bank. The cynical view might be that we've helped make it popular, now we may have to pay for that.

    For us it's membership or foxtel, not both.
    Hence, we miss most of the away games and other team games.

    Not sure what we'll do next year - can't bear the thought of not being a member.

    In fact, I think I would need therapy, which also costs - so may aswell retain membership - good logic?
    Flawless logic. Anything that gets you out of the house has to be good, yes?

    WF1964 - Is an out of town membership + Foxtel an option? You get priority purchase to all the tickets, while you don't get a guaranteed seat if you can't make a game due to basketball games or lack of lift (my experience) you haven't wasted your money. You still get all the packages and stuff. I had one during 2008 (first year I qualified for a membership thanks parents) and it served me well. Then you would get Fox too - a win win situation

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

    Saw that. I'd love to go into next season with Tyrrell, Whittaker and Charles as our hookers. The only problem that I can see is that you can only play two during a game!

    True, but can you imagine the competition for those two slots?

    There's nothing better for rapid development than a genuine shot at stealing the jersey off an incumbent!
