If you have renewed already for this season I wouldn't worry about it!

One of my friends, despite not supporting Arsenal, went to a few Carling Cup games that went on general sale last year. Apparently last week he got an application form to join too!

How old are you SWL? My understanding is JG's are upgraded to Silver membership when they are too old to be a JG anymore. If thats the case hold onto your JG till youre old enough to get a silver.

Anyone tell me if thats right?

i think im right in saying this, when you get to old if you like to be a JG you then become a silver member. so i wouldnt cancel your JG Membership. i would check with arsenal and people on here tho first. not 100% sure if im right.

Flash and RTP are correct. It would be a bad move to trade the J.G. membership if you've already renewed; and worth it to keep renewing until they make you a Silver member. 8) :lol: :wink:

DO NOT CANCEL YOUR JG MEMBERSHIP!

You go from JG to Cannon Club, then automatically upgrade to Silver.

If you cancel and go to Red then you will never "come to see the Arsenal" :cry:

I am overseas so none of this is relevant to me . Isn't this unfair though to red members who have been suffering since time immomoriel on the waiting list to be promoted to silver ?

Actually agree but i think the club are wanting younger members to keep the club going in say 30 years etc. understand why but its unfair

Im already a silver so Rebel i have nothing to wait for :wink: :lol:

Yes I agree its unfair too. :cry:

I'm silver and both my kiddies are JG's, so they can push their old mum to Arsenal in her bathchair in a few years time. :pixie2:

Well, I'm 14. I think I'll stay with the JG. And, no, it's not unfair, I'm just special.

It must be very frusutrating for Red members, but I don't think it is unfair. The club need to be encouraging young Arsenal fans to go to games... after all, they are the future :wink:

I'd probably feel differently if I was a Red member though :oops:

They can always join one of the many supporters clubs to improve their chances of getting match tickets.
