How the Affinity Card proposed by Sheldon Phillips can work for SW.net?

[Controversial]

SW.net being recognized as the official supporters club of the TTFA would first need to be established. Keep in mind sw.net is the largest support group/following for T&T football worldwide.

The affinity card should have levels: Foundation members being on top and scaling down by years of support/service and loyalty.

Foundation Members: 12 year plus of support

next tier would be 9 years, then 6, then 0-3 years

the soca warriors supporters club should be the highest member level in the affinity card series for ttfa

[Controversial]

Also to note, with the affinity card you will have bandwaggonists getting equal opportunity to get tickets, which defeats the purpose, you need to allocate a number to the grass roots, die hard fans in this program and then make it available to the rest... sw.net being afforded the opp to have first choice when it concerns all areas of the FA... we need to push for this

sheldon needs to realize that it is more than just money but loyalty, build loyalty and you will build a base to generate income...

In principle this may appear to appeal to some sectors of the fan base but could it be a bandaid solution to appease and provide  communicion to those who are already part of the choir?

Should there be a consideration at looking at initiatives that would reach out to a wider community fan base? Involvement and engagement of players within communities- engaging players and teams in more communal and or PR work in various sectors of the communities.
Incentive laden opportunities to partnership with community partners  educational sectors social services and areas that could attract fans.
Wide,scal marketing and business ventures could be  explored furthered

If we keep feeding the hungry and starving the poor, we would see the same results - the die hearts will be there but the energies to attract others will be forsaken.
IMHO

Shouldn't be a benefit for length of term - you're a member or you're not. Otherwise it's an old-boy's club that deters potential fans.
