2010 Membership - "Yellow & Black - Feel it. Live it. Love it"

[Infamy]

Backlog from over the Easter break perhaps

[tigersalive]

Or another flow-in from the AFL membership numbers.

[mightytiges]

We'll take it wherever they've come from 

[Hellenic Tiger]

We'll get somewhere between 41 and 42K combined.

[MADTIGER2010]

[Ramps]

Can we get to 40k 

[Stripes]

Have we changed the way we publicize our Membership Tally this year to include ALL memberships rather than just non-restricted? Is this why we have risen in numbers even though it is obvious to supporters that we are in a weld of pain this year?

about 7000 down on last year at $100 a pop thats a $700,000 hole

Last year was a Cousins led aberration that reaped the club a bonanza.
How do we compare with 2008 is what's important.

As per the fine print this years figures on the RFC are combined "match day & non match day" members. Previously the RFC split them as Match day (ticketed) and Non Match Day (non ticketed).

So as Ramps points out we are about 7k down on final figure from 2009

2008 numbers:

As on April 11, 2008

Ticketed:       28,931 
Non-ticketed:   7,350
Combined:     36,281

We might not lose that much, as there might be supporters that have up their membership to a higher level like I have.
So it might all work out just right money wise, even though we all know we want more.

True bushie, but to offset the people like yourself who've upgraded; there are those who have downgraded.

I know a number of people who have downgraded their memberships this year; going from one coterie group (Player Club) to the next one down (Locker room)

all depends on what the club budgeted for this season. Blind freddy could have told us we wouldn't match last seasons figure so surely SURELY the club has budgeted for a downurn

[yellowandback]

Spot on. Would be ridiculous had they budgeted for many more than 39k
