icouldtelltheworld Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Apologies mods if not the right place to post this, but I've just had an email to renew my Claret membership - all 2019/20 members are getting a code for 20% off the cost of the new membership. I think there were a few people wondering if the membership was going to be running next year, so keep an eye on your emails if that applies to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've thought so mate, I'm on the ST waiting list so will be pissed off if I get another email offering me a ST after paying for membership!

Might be that they're not on general sale yet and only being offered to previous members - I'd be wondering the same as it had said coming soon on my page until today Edit: woops, just seen your earlier post. Might just be that they haven't got to you yet - I remember when they first started the scheme some got their welcome packs in a few weeks, others waited months Edited July 13, 2021 by icouldtelltheworld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the other 30,000 members who also bought it in 19/20! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the other 30,000 members who also bought it in 19/20! Oo ok. No chance for me then! Wondered if there was access to some other stuff! I think this may have come up in discussion before (probably some time ago) but I am keen to attend more games, the issue I have is there is no one to really go with that likes football. Are there many people here who attend games alone? I’m a bit of an awkward turtle socially so speaking with others in that sort of environment is a bit of a struggle for me. Just keen to know if there are others who are similar to me in that regard… Edited July 13, 2021 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I renewed earlier. There's also a 'lite' version and women's team version, as well as the £40 one (or £32 with the discount). I know they cause some contention on here, given the priority access to tickets, but for fans like myself who just can't afford the time to travel to every game anymore and gave up their season ticket in that basis, they're ideal.

Just keen to know if there are others who are similar to me in that regard… I go to 99% of games alone I kinda prefer it that way tbh. Were they actually doing membership cards last year as no one could attend games? My Membership card says it expires in 2022 but i thought it was a yearly thing? I am so confused Edited July 15, 2021 by Bizzzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) The website is so **** bad. I think in the last 10 years or so, I've had maybe 6 or 7 different usernames and passwords, all foisted upon me be the website. There was the original one for booking, then one for generally using the website?, then one for VillaTV, etc. etc. Now I've had to set up this new Digital Membership and it's not allowing me to link my Fan ID to it. Absolute shite. Edited July 15, 2021 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been able to purchase mine luckily, but have to click to link my fan ID every time and re-confirm my details before I can do anything. Until I got the email about the Claret membership I'd assumed it hadn't linked the two yet. It is really poor - hope you get it sorted soon mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I think I've just renewed my membership, paid £34.95 anyway. Had to relink my fan ID to the digital membership. Not sure what postage I'm paying though as it said to keep existing card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
