- Fair bit to cover so apologies for the long post! -
As a Director of the Football Club and more importantly a keen supporter of the Sea Eagles and a MWTS regular I thought it worth explaining the relationship between the Leagues Club, Football Club and the Sea Eagles and why people should consider choosing the upgrade options when renewing or signing up Sea Eagles membership
To get a good understanding of the make up of the “Sea Eagles Family†go here: http://www.seaeagles.com.au/family
It is vital to ensure long term survival of our team that, wherever possible, fans support our club financially by becoming Sea Eagles members.
There are a number of different options available to suit most circumstances (see here - http://www.seaeagles.com.au/2013membership )
You will also see an upgrade option for the Leagues Club and the Football Club
These memberships don’t give you access to games BUT they do offer a range of different benefits to fans.
http://www.manlyleagues.com.au
The Club and especially the “Lyons Den†bar is a popular spot for supporters to meet pre and post game.
As well as a place to eat and drink on game days the newly refurbished facilities offer food, drink and promotions every day and live entertainment each night, Wednesday to Saturday.
Members are also entitled to a 10% discount on all food and beverage purchases.
Membership is $10 per annum – great value for locals or those that get to Brooky on a pretty regular basis and for anyone who likes to have a meal or snack and a couple of drinks pre/post game at the club then purchasing a membership should be a “no brainerâ€!
Importantly – The Leagues Club has a long history of providing grants to support the Sea Eagles and a percentage of any profit goes to financially supporting our team - As they say - “Support the Club that supports your team, Manly Leagues Home of the Sea Eagles!â€
As you may have noticed from the “family†overview - The Football Club and its members hold the preference share (i.e. giving us ownership of our teams name and colours and a guarantee that no less than 10 home games are played at Brookvale Oval each season).
For those of you who remember the dark days of the Northern Eagles or who are keen to see us play the majority of our games at Brookvale Oval this should in itself be an encouragement to take that upgrade option.
Of course, much has been discussed and published in the media (so it must be true!) regarding the workings of the Sea Eagles board and, it would appear, there are many that would like to have a greater say and more involvement in the direction of our club.
If this is important to you then it should be noted that Football Club members have representation (votes) on the board of the Sea Eagles via the 2 seats we hold.
We do of course have massive respect for our private owners (Penn Sport www.pennsport.com.au and Quantum energy www.quantumenergy.com.au ) and their involvement in our club as were it not for them then we wouldn’t have a team in the NRL comp (and of course it would be remiss not to recognise Max Delmege and his family for their support during some very dark days for the club)
After a qualification period each member of the Football Club has the right to vote on how we, as part of the ownership group of the Sea Eagles, are represented alongside our private owners.
Our appointed representatives are currently Bob Reilly and Darrell Williams.
They represent the Football Club board who, in turn, are elected by and represent the members (us guys) who have an interest in the history of the club and would like to have a say in its future along with the private owners
So, hopefully this has helped?
To find out more about the Football Club (including our goals and aims) and to see copies of the annual reports (Under – the club documents tab - makes for interesting reading on the recent history of our club!) please see here www.manlyfootballclub.com.au
The upgrade to membership of the Football Club when is purchasing your Sea Eagles membership is $25 or you will soon be able to join or renew on-line via our website (Membership runs Jan – Dec)
Our constitution states that all available funds are used to purchase shares in the Sea Eagles so provides additional funding to the club whilst giving members additional equity in the club.
Any questions or for more information I can be contacted at [email protected]
Thank you for your support and GO MANLY!!!
