    Swans recognising long term members

    Swans are sending all members who have been members from at least 1998 onwards a 10 year member pin and a letter from on a nice bit of paper that includes a word from Roosey and a "Thank you for being a member of the Red and White family since 1994 " (or whatever year you joined) .

    The slogan used is "It's in the blood" which I think is a fantastic slogan to use.

    Not quite sure what I would use the pin for lol, but a nice little gesture from the club for the loyal members, especially considering the economic climate.

    Although a nice performance over the next few weeks will save our marketing and membership department some heartache in Oct/Nov trying to get people to renew.

    The best one we ever got from Swans marketing was a wonderful poster of Plugger holding the footy under his arm with his other arm outstretched pointing and a talk bubble saying "DON'T SIT THERE, THEY ARE HOT POTATO'S SEATS."
    I still smile when I look at it.
    But the trouble and strife thinks I've got a simple mind.
    The pin would be nice but it just wont do it like Plugger.

    I got a 10 year pin.
    I've been a member for 11.
    Noice.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    I loved those membership forms and brochures.

    I thought the pin was a nice little token.

    I got mine as well.

    Thought it might have said 20 years though.

    What did yours say BMR?

    (I'm hoping here that I'm going to get another one for 15 years long service.)

    I would hope that henceforth, as each member reaches 10 years they will receive their badge. Otherwise it is just a one off stunt.

    For the present, I will wear my badge with pride. But if next years batch of 10year veterans are not recognised then the badge will mean nothing and it will be consigned to the bin.
