I suspect driven largely by the Swans financial situation this year, there has been a lot of value taken out of membership.
For example :
No Swans Family Day this year (OK they're trying to combine it with North Sydney but it ain't members only and certainly won't provide as much access with the players).
No 1 game free pre-season cup with membership.
Understandable to some extent that cost-cutting needs to be made but I feel cutting things like the Family Day adds to the sense of dissassociation one often feels the club has with rank and file membership, particularly for families.
