Anybody else get letters from Membership Dept?

[Mel]

My folks got theirs yesterday but I'm yet to receive mine. Apparently they want to move us due tot he reconfiguration of the SCG. I thought they weren't doing any work on the Churchill so don't understand why we're getting moved. Are they working on the Churchill?

Haven't got a letter but maybe they are completely rearranging the members seating so that they can fit unreserved members seating somewhere? They would also need to organise a bay or two for opposition cheer squads, etc, so I imagine its going to be quite different next year.

we all have to remember when complaining that it is for just one year (I think?) and will benefit us all in the long term....

well not me in the berrongle but I know someone should benefit.

So did you get a letter woo? Dad was a bit vague on the details last night. Apparently I'll have to attend a meeting otherwise they'll stick me whereever they want. All well and good, but I live 70kms away and these days am usually asleep by 8pm and throwing up in the morning so attending a meeting isn't looking like fun.

I'm still bitter about missing out on my 'guaranteed' grand final ticket too so the membership department isn't in my good books right now.

No letter here, but I have a history of receiving letters a good week after everyone else..so who knows...

I think Mel you of all people have a good case for a) not turning up the the said metting and b) not having to change seats.

The most important thing is thou to not loose your current seats (should you like them ) long term....

I would think they'll need to move some Churchill and O'reilly if the new stand links with both. It will also be for two seasons. Its not due to finish until mid-2008

there may be issues with Asbestos (there normally is with any demolition) - so the trust have to practice good risk management (oh and abide by a little thing called the law) to move patrons to a place where they wont be exposed.

Fair enough Wardy, that makes sense. We're a fair way over in the Churchill stand though I wouldn't have thought we'd be affected. I am operating on limited information though as I haven't yet received my own letter, and as I mentioned I'm still dirty at the membership department so my view of them is somewhat distorted right now.

Surely they're not going to move everyone?
Anyone from the upper brewongle got a letter?

a letter (or three), an email, a personal phone call from the membership department (not just asking for raffle ticket money), then Colless calls me, we discuss it for five minutes, and I give him the same answer I give him every year ... get stuffed!!

One year?????

Ask anyone who's had to employs builders, it won't take one year.

The MCG took two or three, and Wembly four.

Beside, coming from the clowns who run the SCG, don;t hold your hopes up.

My guess is that the end of the Churchill will be affected by the building, both directly (incuding a buffer zone) and perhaps restricted view.

The MCG took three years but was done in three stages with each stage only taking one year.
