I got offered a Tasman foundation member ticket but I didn't take it up because I live in Wellington. The email I got was:
"Hi [redacted]
As a fellow football fan, this might be something you’d be interested in… let me know if you’re keen to join:
HELP CREATE HISTORY!
As you may be aware, I’m part of the Tasman United Committee and part of my first role is to approach people to see if they want to become a supporters club Foundation Member. I’ve got a large list of people to contact, and while we’re not going to restrict the number of members for this club, we are going to have a cut-off date to join by.
The cut-off date hasn’t been 100% confirmed yet, but it will probably be the first home game for the national league team after the season gets underway in October, so we’re hoping to get as many people on board with this as we can by then. And it means that by becoming a foundation member, those people will be in an exclusive club – and they’ll be helping create history for our regions newest football franchise by doing so.
The fee is $100 per person and the benefits include;
-exclusive Tasman United PIN
-weekly newsletter
-members only seating
-10% off all Tasman United merchandise and apparel
-Membership benefits from our sponsors and partners
-Official invite to all club functions
It would be fantastic if you’d be interested in becoming one of our foundation members, so please let me know return email asap. I will then arrange an invoice to be sent out.
Kind regards

It looks a bloody good deal! I'd be surprised if Tasman aren't in the top 3 for average crowd size. Our National Youth League team was pulling 500 regularly.
