Donation to Training Facility

I have dusted off the cobwebs and have said bye bye to my now ex friend from Rebel sports.. But seriously, anybody else get a call to donate for our new training facility in the "Cell Yard"? It was $100 they were asking for and from the first 1500 people. You go in the draw to win a Holden Cruze and some other stuff.. Did you donate? Just like to get a rough idea!

  • Got the call not donating I pay my membership that's enough its abit rude to call members asking for more money I think.
  • So we can afford to send all the players to the USA to train, but can't spend that money on our own facilities?
  • The donations should be sought from the premiers club. The corporates should be able to source real money. I like how they announce the facility without funding established. Anyone else smell a walk of fame fiasco looming?
  • I donated my $100 and made a point of telling the girl on the phone I did the same thing a couple of years ago and didn't have a clue who won the prize. She ensured this time the winner will be better advertised. Time will tell, maybe Larissa can let the 1 Eyed bloggers know who wins ?.

    PS: The girl who called was based in Melbourne so maybe a telly marketing company down there ?.

  • Didn't they run a raffle to win $20K or something last year about this???

    I bought tickets but never heard squat after that ...obviously didn't raise the required $$$ if they are asking for more donations.

  • I got a call from Darcy Lussick last year asking me to donate to the new High Performance Centre which I did and like some of you guys did not hear any more about it.

    Also got a call yesterday to donate again, which I'm happy to do (anything to get Parra up there on the ladder and win a premiership). Thanks Larissa for letting us know what the outcome will be.....

    ps can I have the season tickets and NOT the car. A friend of mine has the Cruze and it's crap.....

    • Good on you Kevin, the clubs lucky to have supporters like you.

    • Hi Kevin.

      It's Tim Mannah here.

      Eels need to pay electricity bill.  $367.  Can you help us?

  • I gotta say it is a bit rude to ring members to ask to fund something as fundamental as a training facility meanwhile all the players are just about to head to the US for a trip. Either the club needs funds to pay for the basics or it is cashed up enough to afford 30-odd airfares and accommodation to the U.S. You can't have it both ways.

    I agree with SixtiesBoy this stuff belongs within the Premiership Club and with sponsors not with rank and file members, many of whom may not be able to afford it but may feel compelled to pay. Not a great look Eels.

  • Yeh, they called. I paid.

    Wasn't to happy about it but I couldn't resist. Anything for my beloved eels
