New Stadium Email

[Danish]

Expensive yes. But at least we get to see The Roosters and not Parramatta.

Yes I couldn’t live with myself if my membership dues were partially paying Moses or Gutho’s salary

I typically hate sitting behind the posts. Always somewhere near half way on an elevation (like the back of the old chookpen) But Bankwest is pretty damn good from that perspective. (need to be elevated)
I would prefer the new bronze tickets to be at least around the 20 metre line not behind the post. Anyway, looking forward to attending the ground!

The only problem with Bankwest is the bottom level doesn't go up far enough. There is a concrete walkway along where there would've been the best seats in the stadium.

The email allowing members to submit a group of friends to sit with arrived today. Only problem is that they didn't let us know pricing. Group members will want to know how much before committing to a particular class of seating. A pretty important detail I would have thought.

Discretely intentional 13.

IMO the club should give back to their season ticket holders who have remained loyal during covid times and continued renewed their membership despite playing away.

Well they are trying to shepherd everyone to gold. However if they had an inkling as to what they are going to charge, there wouldn't be anywhere near as much interest. Existing members are seen as a cash cow to the club and you can bet come round 3 and half the gold seating sold, they will probably offer the rest at a huge discount for current non members to take advantage of.

Bronze members really get shafted in the new seating plan having to sit behind the goal posts.
Thinking of cancelling my membership now.

Silver members are outraged too...on the tryline.

The most outraged are people who were Roosters members in the old stadium who the Club promised would get the same seats in the new stadium, but haven't.
Disgruntled members everywhere.

"Oh Mr Hart, what a mess"!

It's only June, the allocating of seating for Roosters members in the new stadium should cease immediately.

An investigation should be conducted immediately into alternatives to what's being dictated now by the marketing dept or whoever is running it now.
This investigation should be headed by Club CEO, a Board member and senior Roosters officials...it's that important.

Our team is now sliding down the ladder, the last thing we need is for angry members to slide away too.

So, as it's been explained to me:

Gold members get the middle, Silver get the tryline, and Bronze get behind the Goalposts.
As I remember it...in the old stadium, in the middle were season ticket holders...and opposition supporters fighting with them. and people on day passes?

Is every single seat "in the middle" being allocated to Roosters gold season ticket members...no corporate, media, day pass seating for other clubs?
Every single seat?
Every single seat taken by a Gold member?
Can Souths supporters get in there on match days, for example?

How many Gold members?
How many seats "in the middle"?

Why aren't Silver and Bronze members being offered season ticket seating next to the Chookpen on the eastern side of the ground?
What about top deck eastern side of the ground?

I can see membership nos plummeting because of this mess.

Could be like your probable Republic Australia choice ... "vote yes for a Republic and we'll work out the model, details and costs later".

I sent a lengthy email to the club in regards to the points to you raised above, last week. Including plummeting ticketed member numbers, also Bronze getting dumped behind the posts.. I got back a generic email, not really covering any points I raised. What I got out of it was they don’t give a s$&t, it is what it is…

You could see by below where the seats where as per membership category

I’m just happy contributing to the club even if don’t get much time to attend games these days, any game I attend and watch my RWB roosters run around is a bonus.

I'm a gold member and had seats in bay 13 on the halfway line.

I have had seats there for over 25 years.

The new seating plan gives my seats to corporates.

It really has me questioning whether I should keep buying season tickets when the club has chosen corporate money over members.

[Easts75]

I have several mates who are the equivalent of Gold Members with other clubs. Speaking to them often, Roosters fans get the least value out of our Membership and the least respect from the club regarding certain benefits.
Obviously still love the club as I travel from the Blue Mountains for every home game but certain aspects of being a gold family member leave me disillusioned quite often.

LOYALTY???? Where is it in your case Red? They've clearly gone for money over loyalty to supporters like you. Yeah, the argument will be that our Club requires corporate backing/$$$ to continue to survive but it's the principle - Roosters Football Club also needs bums on seats especially those who turn out year after year like yourself and thousands of others.

All these made in China enticements they send you before the season commences for renewing or buying membership is cheap bait.

If gold aren't you in either bays 12/13/15/16/32/33/34 as per below?

[Red.]

Yes i am. But the seats I held for 20+ years were in the new bay 14 which is exclusively for corporates.
