Souths Season Members

[Guest]

Didn't the bunnies have over 11,000 season ticket holders sign up this year? For their game on Friday night, in Sydney, the attendance was less than 11,000. I know that a portion of members may not live in Sydney but after week one, it seems that the members are realising that hype is not enough to win matches.

Let me revise that figure...they have over 17,000!!! According to the DT anyways:

I hope at least somebody from here watched the Sunday roast on the weekend. Their Souths crowd footage was hilarious.

They showed two traditional Souths fans, long beards and all, sneaking in food in the stadium.

Got a hotdog out of his Thermos bottle, a bread roll out of the pocket and sauce out of the bag.

It was hilarious just to see the lengths to which they went to sneak food into the footy.

I mean i bring food in, but straight up in a plastic bag.

That was a cracker, hot dogs heated up and brought 2 stadium. Chick sitting next to this guy was almost crying if she wasn't

Cool ... they're great for lining the budgie cage.

I wonder whether Souths actually have to hand over the names and contact details of those supposed 17,000 members ... the NRL only counts allocated seats as a membership. Many clubs don't allocate seats for their General Admission tickets, so they don't count towards the total. I bet souths are allocating seats to even those who have purchased 3 game pass packages. Easy to do in an 80,000 seater stadium.

Also, I wonder how many Rusty purchased and handed out to the players. Mr Schubert, do you know?

I am good mates with one of the directors and he is a fantastic bloke and I wish good things for him but fmd, I hate them as a club. Almost as much as Parra.

Apparently the NRL did an audit of all membership numbers before publishing the results.

They have approximately 11k ticketed and 17k non-ticketed members.

A 10k crowd figure is pathetic, they should never get under 14-15k imo.

Not really, isn't it cruel to your bird making it see that every time it looked down?

To give you an idea of how easy it is to fudge the Vermin figures, the father of a girl I work with has managed to sign up his youngest son's non-existent twin brother as a Vermin member when lodging his family membership.

He has in fact given him a name, so every year there's an extra birthday card etc sent out to this kid who doesn't exist.

And I'm not its not a one off.
