Not seen this get much of a mention, but thought it was too good an offer not to pick up on. The club are offering a 5% discount on season tickets for any Mariners Trust member. At £12 per year, the discount on any adult ticket is greater than the cost of an annual membership - it essentially pays for itself! Upper Findus - £17 discount Lower Findus - £15.25 discount Main Stand - £15.25 discount Pontoon - £15.25 discount So for a Trust membership that you can pay at £1 a month over a year(!), that will pay for itself nearly one and a half times over if you’re going to be getting a season ticket. It’s a no-brainier. http://www.marinerstrust.co.uk/register/

I’d rather give the club an extra £17 than give a useless cause £12. My interest in the trust vanished when they made the Findus bar members only, how much money did they miss out on then, we will never know.

I didn't know abut the Findus bar and that seems like a ridiculous thing to do, but I'll take the 5% as a positive move by the club (for once) to engage with the fans.

The Findus bar was Trust members and season ticket holders only for the 2016/17 season, but, to my knowledge it wasn’t this season. If it was, then no one was checking.

Is that ‘members’ as in having a membership? Or is it ‘members’ after the swear filter has kicked in ? 😄 As someone who drinks in there I was just wondering 😉

Have to disagree Cloudy, you had to have a ST or prove you were a Trust member to get an entrance card. But anyway it hasn’t been like that for a year. It just I had to prove I was a trust member to obtain a card.

I got a card with my season ticket last season, for entry into the bar. I think it was more to do with it being rammed most games. This season, i didn't get one of those cards, but didn't really need it, as it was less busy, due to the drop in attendances at games. I've never been aware of having to be a member to get in there. My brother also had one of those cards and he has never been a member of the trust. He uses the bar more than me and never had trouble getting in, this season or last.

Fake News! This is not the case, you never have had to be a member for entrance to the lower bar.

I realise that you will already be well into the long build up to Christmas Santa but for the sake of veracity I should point out that the Main Trust Bar (Lower Findus) has never been members only. The only time when we will have lost money on entry criteria is when the maximum allowed in the bar was reached.

No you didn't! Cards were issued nearly 2 years ago to monitor numbers in the bar at half time during the bigger games, Lincoln, Boxing Day etc. I know loads who had cards are they were neither season ticket holders or Trust members. They just asked for them and were given them by the bar manager lady.

Spot on....the club were concerned about the safety limit of 180 being exceeded. The decision was taken at one of our meetings with Ian Fleming and co.

Red xer’s = members
Did you really put "members" or was it changed as certain words often are ?

Not arguing with you Cloudy, all I can do is speak from personal experience and I had to ask the bar manageress, she asked why I didn’t have ST. I explained I worked offshore, so could only get occasionally, but I explained I was a Trust member. She then allowed me an entry card. So, to say I didn’t is incorrect. Anyway, water under the bridge.

Another positive move by the club, and great for the Trust. As Ska says, it means the membership fee pays for itself and it's therefore a no brainer to join.
Two good moves in a week. That's positive! If John Fenty has had a hand in this then fair play fellah!

Errr, there's a limit on the number of people who can get in safely. So unless you were planning on drinking 10 bottles of Dom Perignon a game, i doubt they lost a penny. You must be the best argument ever against a fans owned club!
