PS You get the Â£15 back when you actually buy your season ticket.......

Why on earth would you care for the Â£15 you gave when you'll spend thousands of pounds on the season ticket anyway

i always put of joining the list cos i thought you had to pay it every year.

I'm 21 now so i could potentially have one by the time i'm 50. Although i'm resigned to the fact that by the age of 40 i'm going to be a dribbling, cenile old fool who likes nothing more than to download porn, eat pie's and swear at kids on bikes. So in other words a normal 40 year old and there from prime market for a season ticket at the grove. Bring it on.

Exactly my point Khalid. The Â£15 will be nothing in comparison to the cost of the season ticket. Will probably buy you a pie at the Grove as I am sure they will still be selling those in 100 years time.....

PS Magic Merse - please dont stereotype people who are nearly 40 like that as there is hope for us yet!

As someone who is now in their 50s I resent the stereotype. I've never sworn at a kid on a bike.

I bet you've hit one

Magic Merse, it is all up to you. When you are 40, you won't automatically turn into a dribbling, cenile old fool who likes nothing more than to download porn, eat pie's and swear at kids on bikes. My dad is older than 40 and he isn't like that. I am sure most people who are 40 and older aren't like that.

Called up earlier today and the guy said i'm around 13,500 in the silver membership waiting list. He said that it takes approximately eight years from time of initial red membership purchase to move up. So by my calculations, I should have a silver membership by the 2012/13 season.

Sometimes you think it'd be good to have a few years of being poor and finish mid-table, no european football etc. just so you can get rid of all the Johnny Come Latelys...then we'd see who'd be left.

I'm lucky enough to be a silver member purely through being a Junior Gunner since I was 10 and given automatic silver membership at 18. But silver memberships have their frustrations too...Going to every home game and the a vast porportion of aways since 1996 I have only ever been offered a ticket for a major final on my membership a few times (Southampton 2003, Chelsea in the League Cup 2006, Galatasary 2000) and how many finals have we got too, all the other finals I've had to get through touts or missed out completly.

I think they need to start adding credits for home games like they do with aways...so people who have been to enough games qualify to buy a ticket for the big games. So for example maybe a red member with 15 credits qualify for a big game ticket whereas a silver member with 3 credits do not.

It was 50 times worse at Highbury however...its pretty easy now to buy tickets as a silver member thankfully
