CAN YOU THINK OF A GOOD METROCATS SLOGAN?

We are thinking about a suitable slogan for our supporter group and are seeking suggestions from our members. Please send your suggestions to us at flag@metrocats.com.au and if we select your one to use, you may win a small prize. Go Cats!

SUPPORTER HALL OF FAME

The Geelong Cats have launched the ‘Supporter Hall of Fame’ to the public.

The Supporter Hall of Fame is a way for Cats supporters to communicate to the club how passionate they are about their team!

This competition will be running for the next six months and each month a committee will choose six nominations to put on the Cats website. The public will then vote for these nominees and each month there will be a finalist. In September there will be six finalists and these finalists will attend the ‘Carji’ Greeves Medal Night – it will be at this event that everyone will find out who will be the first supporter to be inducted into the Supporter Hall of Fame.

MetroCats - who are we?

We are a group of Melbourne-based GFC supporters and, along with a number of like-minded interstate/international groups, are confirmed footy tragics. If you are just as passionate, and would like to become a MetroCats member, why not complete an online application here now?

Background

Originally known as The MelCats, we have been around for quite a few years. Our focus remains the same though - having fun and promoting GFC membership and fund-raising activities. The MetroCats committee is completely volunteer based and works very closely with the GFC to develop an affordable, useful and interesting program for Melbourne-based Cats supporters to enjoy.

MetroCats Sponsors

In order to maintain our website and provide hard copy newsletters during the season, MetroCats relies upon the support of a few generous sponsors. We list such sponsors on this site and would encourage you to consider using their services and products if the opportunity arises. If seeking a quote, please make sure you mention that you saw their details on the MetroCats website - this will help us retain their support for future seasons.

MetroCats - why do we exist?

As an authorised GFC supporter group, we aim to promote the Club, provide positive GFC-related experiences and encourage supporters living in Melbourne to become members. Examples of MetroCats activities include:

helping sell memberships at GFC games
assisting with the GFC junior footy clinic held in Melbourne
holding a dedicated MetroCats function for Melbourne-based supporters
raising funds with Nine Lives Geelong via the annual Geelong Coach's Night (Mid-Season Footy Wrap) in Melbourne (a major fund-raising event for the Club)

If you love our Club and are interested in helping to make even a small difference, why not join us. Contact us here to find out more or what the next step is. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for other events or activitites that might be added to our program, please let us know and we will see what is possible.

GFC member or not?

If you are not a member of the Club, or are yet to renew your membership from last year, now is a great time to join up. This link will take you to the page on the Club website that has all the membership information and links you need. Go on - let's help make 2009 another Year of The Cat!
