Membership Tally

[Guest]

Does anyone know where our membership tally is sitting at currently?

Lets hope we can break the 10,000 mark before the start of the season

The club is hoping for 12k+, matching our biggest tally from 2011.

Achieving the above number would see us mid-tier, wrt other clubs' membership numbers.

Maybe there'll be a bit of a rush once Sonny Jim comes back off his holidays.......

I spoke to the membership section last week because I had to change my payment details and the gentleman told me they were sitting on just over 6,000 and were pushing for 12,000+ .... This was just before Jennings signature was announced.

i reckon 10,000 should be minimum.
its a bit harder for us seeing as we share the city with eight other teams, compared to someone like the broncos who have a whole city to themselves

There are plenty of bludgers like me that wait till February to buy.. Maybe I'll wait till they're doing the battle of the beaches or something.

hawks are 47 thou at the moment

thats also one thing the AFL will always have over the NRL.
they have a much larger and more consistent fan base

For the inter-state members, how long did it take for your membership packs to arrive? I'm in Perth and renewed on the 7th Jan; and am still waiting for it. I've checked the order and have paid for postage.

Spot on. It is not a sport down there Kegs. It's a religion. I am a massive AFL fan (Carlton), mostly from when I lived down there for a couple of years.

Whilst we love our football team, there are plenty of Sydney siders who could not give a rats. Go to Melbourne and try finding a local who does not support the footy. We will never go close to matching the fan bases of their inner city clubs. Carlton, pies, hawks etc.

Don't be so sure.

In 1998 the average AFL membership per club was only 8k...League has not even scratched the surface and our per club average is well over that.

Will take time but our numbers in 10 - 20 years is what our game should be judged on.
