He wouldn’t come unless he did.
It’s one of the reasons he is the one we need to get. He will only come if he can set the standard where it is needed. So if he comes, he can turn the whole club around.

There is No chance he’d get that.

Probably true, so he won’t be coming unfortunately.
Absolutely agree!! We can draft the top 10 youngsters in the country and still be rubbish. Rubbish administration, rubbish game plan, some suspect senior players. I can see some of our latest recruits wanting out of this shambles of a club very soon unless someone pulls the finger out and does something about it.

Stop giving $$$ to this organisation/business.
It lost its club values long ago - not even worth calling it a club at the moment.
The organisation has never chosen a better time (very convenient) to introduce automatic credit card renewal of membership/s.
DON’T ALLOW IT. Ring up and cancel. Don’t buy tickets, merchandise etc etc
Club sponsors? Don’t bother.
This is one of the only ones the average fan can send a statement.
We can write what we like on these forums, social media accounts, call talkback radio etc but it will have no impact.
When the dollars stop coming in that’s when they sit up and take notice.

The myth that’s been perpetuated over the years is that it’s the supporters that wont ‘accept’ a true bottom out and rebuild.
I’d suggest the reality is that it’s the board and key administrators that have always resisted this strategy because for many of them it would mean the end of their tenure.
Always back self-interest.

This club is awful.
There is nothing positive left.

But my point, perhaps not made obvious enough, was that the mass-grievance permeating through this forum at the moment suggests ‘we’ collectively are not doing too well with the whole idea of an uncompetitive football side (sack the coach, sack the board etc)- but this reality of unacceptable losses is the predominant flip-side of the long-term bottoming out doctrine.
I know of someone who tried to cancel their membership but apparently it’s too late and you can only do so in special circumstances which they’d need to consider. Is this true?

The club just doesn’t get it. 
we are just so ■■■■
Yep I get it.
I think there’s some nuance in that conversation though.
There is clear misalignment between supporter expectations and EFC admin messaging (for reasons suggested in my initial reply).
Brasher publicly stated ‘we are not rebuilding’ and here we are.

Tell you what we’ve got some great fans for actually returning it and great admin staff for posting it back out.

I don’t think you would have any problem getting a refund in the current climate.
- Change of Mind Refund and Cancellation Policy
As a general policy, Memberships are non-refundable for change of mind and cannot be cancelled by the Member for that reason. Requests for change of mind refunds may be made in writing and are at the sole discretion of the Club’s Head of Membership. Should a change of mind refund be granted, a $30 processing fee will be applicable and will be deducted or withheld from the refund amount
Genuinely asking, what would happen if you stopped paying the monthly payments?
Let’s not do microwaves here but get the scissors out.
I wouldn’t think legally a business can take funds from your account for a product or ‘service’ (ha!) after you request them not to, unless you are in the red with them. This isn’t a case when supporting a sporting team.
I’ve purchased my EFC membership through my MCC membership for many years. It’s a simple box ticked on the form and they add it ($) to your final fee. I won’t be doing this again until the club shows they are serious about changing direction.
Like I said in the previous post it’s the only way they will take notice.
Of course they’ll still get their thousands of diehards (“Norm and Beryl, 85 years old, from Keilor East”) who buy a membership anyway, but there needs to be a significant decline in numbers.

Deluded waste of club funds.
