Standard would be very much like the current membership. Premium would include a Game day packet w/ noise-maker (mini-drum, or whatever we could find), streamers, chant cheat sheet, etc. They would also get a free copy of the Loyalists Chants Best-Of CD (another thing I'll officiallly propose here), an additional freebie (Loyalist scarf or different t-shirt or something), and a discount at the tailgates. You could price this membership at like $45 or something. I think there is a definite market for this membership and I'd love to see it happen.

Discuss.
I think alot of the ideas are pretty good and should be seriously discussed at the next meeting(s)...

however I find this one, in particular, not so pleasant.
After the past several weeks of bickering and other groups forming as a result of not feeling welcomed by the loyalist "hierarchy" I think it would be a HUGE mistake to add another layer of percieved 'elitism' and 'exclusionism'.

Why not keep membership as it is, and make those items that you suggest available for sale on the website OR raise the membership fee and give everyone the "loyalist pack" you mention as a perk of membership?

just my $0.02

I think that this would be a good start...

What I had in mind was that those things WOULD be available to anybody and everybody, but would be "included" in a premium membership. Nobody would ever know who had what level in my plan. It would just be a way for people to choose to take their fandom to a higher level. I would not want anything that was like an informal hierarchy. It would have to be set up very low key and carefully.

How about we word it differently? You can supplement your membership with a $20 Fan Bonus Pack or something like that? It's all about perception.

I don't think that red is your color. You'd look better in blue.

Ahem. I will not have my thread derailed. :rules:

I wanted to clarify that most of these things are not my unique ideas, but a composite of ideas I've heard floating around for months. I'm just trying to put them all together into one place.
