Spacehooch Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hi all, I've been looking at the memberships that the club offers. I think we could really expand what is available. I'm in Australia and I'll use my AFL club as a good example of what we can do at SWFC, check this link for all the options https://www.weareportadelaide.com.au/membership/ One thing they offer that I can't see at SWFC is an international membership. For people that want to support the club but can't get to games. It includes streaming of games, picture attached. Is this offered at SWFC? Would anyone else take it up to support the club? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresh Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Not a membership as such, but we have iFollow to watch or listen to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacehooch Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 The international membership would add money to the clubs coffers but also add numbers to the confirmed membership at the club making it more attractive to sponsors. I'd pay a bit more to get iFollow and a membership pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same same esp. if it gives better chance to get Play Off final tickets this season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumbullowl Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'd like to give more to the club than just buying iFollow, so I'd buy an overseas membership with something suitable attached. The university I went to is endlessly asking for money, but I'd rather give it to Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacehooch Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 There's also a pet membership option for pet owls. No game access though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) You already need a degree to work out the different ticket schemes & memberships without adding more. Edited August 18, 2018 by matthefish2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 If we can break away from the I-Follow service and eventually do our own thing the sky is the limit We are as a club tied into so many nonsensical contracts that once the club understands and learns how to go their own way on them will not just bring a shedload more cash in, but will also give us better reach as a football club and more opportunity to deliver more exciting things.

Philb125 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I’d love a ‘bronze lebel’ Membership for those that want to support the club and feel part of it, without the need for discounts etc. I’d gladly pay £30 a season as an expat to feel I was supporting, that’s far less than many fans spend in a day let alone a season. I think the club will do their own iFollow version soon especially with the radio deal scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Streaming season tickets is what is coming. There is so much money in it for clubs. If you notice with ifollow, it started off streaming games for international fans, now its midweek games, then next it will be all games.

Like breaking away and making our own shirt, what can possibly go wrong! Having a global media channel with our budgets/expertise is probably pushing our boundaries a bit too far.

Guest hk_owl Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 A mate of mine has international membership to Palace. £40 for the year with discounts in the shop, local hotels and a digital copy of the matchday programme. I subscribed to iFollow last season, but due to the poor quality of streaming, probably won’t bother this season. I paid £5 for the Hull game and every couple of minutes the picture went... I’d be straight in for an international membership... and a digital subscription to the match day programme. I’d love to give my money to the club, but they make it so difficult...

@owlstalk Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Just now, sw1867 said: This should have been in place BEFORE the decision to ditch the BBC. We are currently losing money and pis*ing everyone off. Lose Lose. If we couldn’t get it up and running in time for this season DC should have accepted the BBC offer but made it clear that next year we wouldn’t be held to ransom and we will have everything in place to go it alone. DC then gets BBC money now and has the potential to make more money whilst keeping everyone onside. Win Win. Its not rocket science. That's what I'd have done 1 year extension with the BBC and run I-Follow alongside it whilst preparing to break away from that and doing our own thing SWFC don't get the money that people pay to I-Follow either - just a small % of it Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
