  • Mason gone, Roosters membership numbers up

    THE Cowboys have reason to fear a drop in membership sales with NRL bad-boy Willie Mason's former club the Roosters enjoying a massive surge in memberships since the controversial forward officially left the club to head north 11 days ago.

    The Roosters have sold 409 memberships since February 5 when Mason made his move to the Townsville club - an increase of more than 40 per cent from the 287 memberships sold in the 10 days before Mason's departure.

    Roosters membership manager Susan Knott said the club sold more than 58 memberships in the two hours immediately following the news Mason would be moving on.

    The Roosters have sold 2600 ticketed memberships and are in good shape to reach their goal of 6000 ticketed and non-ticketed memberships this year.

    The surge also coincides with the Roosters signing producers Steggles as their major sponsor until 2012.

          Call me a cynic but I doubt this story...

          IMO the roosters have simply held back memberships and only added them to the tally once Mason left, much like how they waited until the ink was dry on his cowboys arrangement to announce Steggles, despite that deal clearly have been done before he left the club.

            Hardly a "surge" anyway.
            Another 200 or so ? Maybe it's because the footy season is actually started rather than Mason.

              Has novice actually rejoined the membership now that mason has gone?

              Where are you novice?

              You were 100% right about that waste of space.

                  6000 looks a long bloody way off with less than a month to go before Round 1.

                    Not yet Fred, it's a project for this week.

                    And you guys thought I was the only one who refused to hold membership whilst the Wanka wore our colours. I wasn't - just more vocal than some others.

                    The Wanka was a Wanka before he joined the Roosters - I'm not sure why anyone thought he'd make this miraculous transformation just because he added an extra spot of colour to his jersey. And he's still a Wanka now he's at NQ - nothing's changed.

                      In that case I hope they held back taking payment as well - which is not the usual way the Roosters operate. They may be slow at everything else, but in my experience they've always been quick to raid the bank account for their cash.

                      And the Steggles deal was probably conditional on the bloke not being at the Club, which was why it wasn't announced or finalised until after he'd been forced to fly the coop.

                        This article is basically a shot back at Mason.

                        After his article calling club bosses "fat cats" and stuff like that.

                        this is a hit back from the roosters to mason saying "you had such an effect you kept fans away, now you are gone, the fans are back"

                        Wether these memberships were sold before or after is irrelevant to Us, it is basically a return serve to masons comments.

                        Lets treat it as such.

                          It's a pretty embarrassing return serve though....


                          Bragging about signing 400 members in a week, like it's an acheivement.

                          Souths are aiming for 10,000 ticketed members within the next season.

                            When Rusty keeps buying them for dead peoiple ofcourse the number is going to be inflated.

                            Where are all these members? They had 5,000 more members than us last year but their crowd average is barely 1,000 higher and we were pathetic and a known bandwagon supported team, **** Souffs and the phonechucker's bullshit.

                              Like i said danish, it is a specific article, targeted at mason himself after the "ceo fat cat " comments he made.

                              I can tell you of mason had of kept his mouth shut, this article would not have come out.
