Jets Membership Packs

Anybody else notice the downturn in quality of the membership packs this year?
Card is thinner (could snap at anytime), fixture magnet is paper, lanyard doesn't have the safety buckle & the sneaky buggers hid the free Jets Cap token on the back of the membership package (probably hoping it is not noticed so the save money on giving caps away).
I know it's a token gift in return for buying membership, and not really what you pay for but the whole thing just has a cheap & nasty feel to it and hardly the message you should be sending to fans.

Is that anything like a Discathon, the ultimate in solo disc and running sports?

Yeah, the opening of the membership pack is a supporter ritual that deserves better attention.

For mine, I really couldn't care less about the lanyard and keyring. I just want my season ticket and prefer more money spent on innovative packaging to make the unwrapping an experience. The supporter pack was cool but the cheap shit inside made it a bit of a hollow gesture. The envelope mine came in looked old and was sealed with a small bit of sticky tape.

That said, our owner doesn't have money anymore so my expectations weren't high this year.

At least we got them.

I think the key ring is key for me. the first under tinks was class. metal, strong clip and a club crest with membership year etched into the back. Quality.
second year a plastic replica of the kit designed to stab you in the leg this year a rubber square with crest and season motto.

I can take the crappy fixtures list, I couldn't bother getting into caps and lanyards, but the key ring is my favourite part and I want them to go back to that original club crest, makes me proud to have it on my keys.

Well f*** me

I better retrieve that from the bin where it's sitting next to the magnent fixture list that doesn't stick to anything

Poor tinks is doing it tough

Lanyard is the one thing I get the most use out of. Instead of corporate lanyard, I happily rock a Jerks lanyard. The 11/12 one with detachable end bit is far and away the best one we have had. Still using it :(

I am still using the 08/09 lanyard. I didn't like last years with the release on it.

Haven't opened the pack this year to look at it.

I'm just oping my card gets me into games we win instead of games we lose.

Maybe thinner was the wrong word, but mine is certainly flimsier this year - cheaper plastic perhaps.

Yes the keyring - that was a let down. I still have my original going strong. Don't think the rubber one will see much action this season.

Agreed.

Also the club crest one was relatively small, whereas the jersey and to an extent this one are pretty big.

Really not a fan of the Stand With Us motto AT ALL (to me saying "in victory and defeat we stand together, stand with us" is saying "we're shit and we know we are, but don't give up on us plz"), so the sticker will definately not be getting a run on my car.

It's one photo homie. The white divide in the middle is actually the two cards (this year & last year), showing the thickness of them

Yeah mate it got me too, for all of 5 seconds. Sort if out MFKS.

Well my card this year, regardless of it's thickness, is certainly more flimsy & less rigid then last year. Maybe their is some variablity in them.

Card Gate 2013

I'll find a use for the card.

Scarfs?

Only the Baartz Club get scarves this year, from memory. You can use your $10 voucher to buy one though...

No Jets v Jets members launch.

Makes you wonder why they aren't doing it at Wanderers Oval like they did last year.

Magic could have made some money from the canteen sales to make up for all the $$ they will miss out on by not hosting the GF next year:whistling:

so mars bars stadium is nailed on to be ****ing terrible this year, i wonder how this will affect our high-tempo passing game

Basically a business card sized bit of cardboard. Possibly white/grey.

Also that "wrapping" that all the member "goodies" came in is what you use to claim your members hat, apparently
