Suggestions you'd like to make to The Club

I'll just note here that this is not on behalf of the Club, or anything like that. Just stems from RudeBoy's thread. Would be interested to hear how Collingwood can greater engage with its members, and what it can do better (beside from the minor details, also known as winning games Wink

)?

I recall Hoggy suggesting on here that we should have the signage noting the names of famous Collingwood players, coaches and admin dotted around the MCG in Black and White for home games - just as it was at Victoria Park. At least it would add to the colour and the feeling of having a home game at what is our home ground.

old timers' day.

at a designated game every year, pick a year or premiership year and let's acknowldge those that have played for the club in that season.

the current players can acknowldge/clap the group when they run onto the ground, the banner can acknowldge the group and of course, the crowd can also convey their gratitude.

Free drinks for the Legends members in the social club........

WEEKLY!

If thats not possible...... how about we start by letting COLLINGWOOD SOCIAL CLUB MEMBERS ONLY into the social club??

Now there's a novel idea.

Expand the cheer squad and have additional "hit squads" of members grouped around the ground to stimulate support amongst the masses of Collingwood supporters who do not sit in the Ponsford stand.

For many years I've been very disappointed with the amount of support a large portion of Collingwood people give to our side. It seems to take something extraordinary to get a lot of them out of there seats and participating in the Collingwood chant.

With a hardcore group of passionate Collingwood fans dotted around the ground leading the way, then hopefully it will inspire and encourage others to join in with additional vocal support for the team.

Focus more on Indigenous Recruiting and less on overseas recruiting.

Can you do a re-make?

I think I have seen the 1980s one enough already.

1. Captain to wear guernsey #1

2. Lace up guernseys (or circa 1980 lookalike ones will do)

3. Old school tatts only (ala Robbie McGee, Richmond)

4. Hair to be slicked back and parted down the middle (dapper dan hair butter does the trick)

5. No space age techno made jumpers. All players must have prickly woolen jumpers (with collar).

6. All players must address the coach as Mister Malthouse.

7. Screw in large stops to be worn at all times and if you slip over in the centre hard concrete pitch area of the oval..stiff shit! Plenty of mecurachrome in the sick bay.

8. Anthony Corrie must cut up all oranges in time for the half time break. If he happens to be playing, this job falls to Leigh Brown. A note to remember...make sure Josh Frasers contains no pips, his mother wrote a very scathing letter to the club last time this happened.

9. Bring back the floggers (no, not Rudeboy, 3rd and the like. The paper plastic versions).

10. Also bring back the signage around the grandstands which read Collingwood Domination,the Envy of the Nation! (stuff all the advertising!)

11. Break the 4 in a row record and go for 5 straight premierships!!!!!
