I want to know on your opinion on this..... i recently went to apply for an official mb membership.... they told me it would cost me rs 20000.....
i felt it was too costly
<br><div><br></div><div>Given that most MB football supporters are from middle class and lower middle class families this is indeed very high. I guess they dont want every one to get it...</div><div><br></div><div>@archak is it life membership? can u elaborate the terms bit more</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>Most supporters are from middle to lower middle class but club members, hell no. A big section are from the rich class, no wonder the financial muscle.</div>
@rudra da after hearing the amount i was dissapointed and didnt further enquire more informations but i will try once again once recover from my dissapointment
Archak this is the standard tennis membership amount.Life membership costs 50k.But one thing I can assure you is getting membership is not that easy.You need to give personal references of 2 existing members who should be close to current officials at helm.<br>

This is not entirely true.Most of the old members are from middle class/lower middle class only who got their membership long back.There is a cap of 7k members guideline set by army.In case of any demise of an existing member or cancellation of membership a slot gets vacant for new members.The membership fees thus set at an amount which is out of reach of most of the supporters, because MB club cannot allow any number of members if they wish to until and unless they switch the club premises to self owned land.<br>

<br><div><br></div><div>Just trust me Archak, if you are so hell bent, become a member of the biggest fan club, sabuj maroon swapno and test the waters, if you will. In fact I will advice you rather to get involved in all the facebook groups like I am, that really helps in testing the waters and getting to know the right people, then choose and pick who you really want to put your hard earned money on. We can always discuss this elsewhere because there's a lot of difference in ground reality and the rule book.</div>

<br><div><br></div><div>TOTALLY AGREE, but unfortunately that's like stating the RULEBOOK, what's on pen and paper, please accept my sincere apologies for misrepresenting FACTS so much was I pre occupied at painting the ground reality. I know a lot of these so called middle/lower middle class members and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the extent of their involvement in any kind of decision making involved towards running the club.</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>He wasnt really a legend though like Barreto. Sangram was more of a David Seaman of Mohun Bagan. Not the best keeper but a loyal one. Maybe they should make the match at Nepal his farewell.</div>
@projenator can you provide more details of why the army not allowing more than 7k members
<br><div><br></div><div>The army has been sticking to those age old regulations their barmy army predecessors taught them, makes no sense in the current scenario. Another instance is stopping all access for a couple weeks during the Puja season depriving the club of any practice whatsoever on their own grounds.</div>
