MetroCats activities are based on the 3 F's:
Our main aim is to promote GFC membership and help "support" Melbourne-based members. One way we do this is by encouraging and helping the GFC to hold events and functions in Melbourne for Melbourne-based supporters.
Unlike GFC members and supporters who live in Geelong and the surrounding area, Melbourne-based supporters do not get saturation coverage of the club on K-Rock and the Geelong Advertiser or the opportunity to attend the many events and functions held at Geelong.
It is estimated that GFC has over 250,000 "supporters" residing in Melbourne, far more than reside in the Geelong and surrounding areas. Based on figures for 2006, the 8,500+ Melbourne-based Members represents about 30% of the total GFC Membership. Clearly, there is plenty of scope for an improved Melbourne-based representation across our membership and MetroCats is very keen to help with this. Ideas to help promote our Club and the value of membership are always welcome.
If you reside in Melbourne and are not yet a GFC member, why not join up now? Membership need not be expensive and does directly help our Club. As our captain said before the start of our record-breaking 2007 season:
We want you to be a part of our TEAM!
I’m committed and passionate about this Club and want you to share in the excitement season 2007 will bring. As players we will use words like - respect, pride, commitment and unity to propel us into the season.
To help us achieve our goals we need you, the supporters, the heart and soul of the Club, to be right behind us. Join the TEAM, help make Skilled Stadium a fortress and cheer on the mighty Cats in 07!
And as our Premiership Captain says as we approach 2008: Welcome to a new era at the Geelong Cats!
Get on board for Footy Full On...
