Yes it's not right or fair, no doubt they have pitched the loyalty points for DNA too high versus actually going to the games (shouldn't be any in my opinion)

Deadline to apply extended until 21 May. 3400 sold. Obviously not met their anticipated or intended target figure yet.
First Team
3000+. I think that's very good as only 1000 ish had black and gold. Wonder how many are premium members and how many under 12s though. Always suspicious though when they "extend deadlines" with no apparent reason. I might have had the deadline set at 5th or 6th May initially to catch folk when they had just got paid.
Hall Of Fame
Not necessarily. Maybe they've still been getting enough enquiries as the deadline was passing or they've been pleasantly surprised by the level of demand , that they think there's still more folk willing to invest. No doubt they'd be criticised if they didn't extend the deadline and were seen to be turning down some cash.

Yep totally agree with you redstarfk. Two sides to a coin and there's always that possibility.

Think you can sign up to DNA anytime but the 30 april deadline was for those wanting to be a "Founding Member"
Hall Of Fame
It was, it was quite clear in the promotional literature that you got extras by signing up before that, it was not a closing deadline. 3400 sign ups I'd say has wildly exceed their expectations.

"Founding member"
It all just gets worse and worse.
Getting like the caraven club.
Maybe we will start getting little pennants we can stick to our car windows saying Alloa or something, to let everyone else know how loyal we are.
I remember (1966) being at Butlins and some older couples were festooned in metal badges announcing to the world that they'd been to Ayr every year since 1945 or whenever.
I thought that was pretty cool then when I was 7 years old but probably less so now.
Do people who joined as a founding member get to look down on later members in perpetuity?
Have you been issued with membership numbers?
Top 100?
Top 1000?
3499? - Proving that although a founding member, you just scraped it.
3510 - Still a founding member but only because of the extension ( therefore looked down on)
4002 - Scum
Season ticket holder - Hardly a fan at all
Someone who would just like to pay at the gate - undesirable, phone the police.
Hall Of Fame
I'm sure I read that the deadline extension of 21 May still entitled you to be a founding member.
