It all depends upon how you measure your ability.
Sometimes you can exceed your own (or other's) perception of your ability.
Clearly ability cannot be measured exactly.
Admit you're wrong and move on.

Sorry, I'm with Jack. I hate the "110%" thing. If you can give more than what you or others thought you could before, it just means you weren't giving enough previously.

Thank you.

Are you kidding Jack? It's a perfectly normal mathematical concept. Being someone that follows the horses I would have thought you were quite comfortable with concepts like framing a market to a figure - say 120%.
-

Exactly why the term exists.

A big boot in the arse would be more effective

as far as membership is concerned I'm more worried whether our club can withstand another year or two of poor onfield performance before membership seriously dips and our finances are effected,thus starting the vicious cycle all over again...Thats why i hope and prey that we dont have 2 years ,of poor performance ,while we re build(again)as i worry whether this club can withstand it

Stop relying on hope, believe!

2010 membership :rollin only way l will own one is that someone buys it for me :lol l refuse to buy another membership after them last 5 years onfield performances.
l'm always happy to support but the promises made to supporters was we will go long & direct & kick 16 goals a game & will produce a better style game :rollin
Well Wallace turned the list over then taught the new list how to play the previous 5 years football style. You dont pay money to support that poo :banghead
the joke of the week was Richmond sending emails out to supporters asking them to buy finals tickets :lol wtf4 we aint played in one for 27 years :rollin

But Wallace isn't there.
Given your whining it would have made sense for you not to buy one this season if you hated Wallace's coaching so much, but for the next when there is a brand new coach?
Don't be weak, and pay up.

So if we take 2010 and wipe off 2009 we get the number 1, not the numbers 16 or 9. I'm happy with that. :P
But on the earlier discussion regarding percentages, Jackstar is 100% correct. :lol The percentage sign (%) means OUT OF 100.
But for arguments sake, Once you go over 100%, the max value gauged on would be 200% therefore by that rationale, 110% is only just above average and in real terms could be expressed as 55%. :thumbsup

The percentage signs means per 100, not out of 100 - from the latin per centum. If you express a figure as a percentage you are saying that it is a certain value for every 100 units and it is entirely correct for any figure to be expressed as a percentage in excess of 100. So in fact, both Jack and yourself are 100% wrong. The reason you are both not 110% wrong is that it is impossible for you both to be more wrong about this than you both are. ;D
-
Ahhh Smokey, if you read my post correctly you would see that I did specify that 110 would have to be per 200 and therefore 110 for every 200 as you would put it. I think you are splitting hairs on the phrasing but no matter which way you look at it, it is impossible to have 110 per 100 whether you use your phrasing or mine. :thumbsup

Its definitely not impossible to have 110 per 100, did you fail maths?
-
Why do i get sucked in. ::)
Anyway here is my understanding of what is trying to be said.
If i earnt $1,000 per week as the norm.
But.
For 1 week i earnt $1,100.
Then for that week i would have earnt 110 % of my usual wage.
Not sure if that makes sense, i'll try another one.
How about a marathon runner, he gives it 100% but then encounters that elusive " wall ."
If he finishes the race has he given it more than 100 % ??
I've had enough, to heavy for a Monday night. :)

Yes, you said it Tiga but you gave no basis for proving or substantiating it, so in response to your logic it is no more real than 100% or 1000% being the stick to be measured by. So given that we are dealing in mathematics with a defined answer we have to deal in knowns and as 110% is a valid and real known that is what we can rely on and quote as fact.
Yes, I'm bored, I'm in Sydney working for the week and I have just had a few beers watching the Brownlow. Dare I say it - at the moment (apart from the beers) my life sucks 110%! ;D

Details must be close as the RFC has this under membership news ... ;D
========================================================
New Package Options for 2010
With the 2010 Richmond membership campaign close to being launched, Tiger fans and members are being informed about a number of changes to membership packages for the new season.
• Premium A reserved seat holders are now classified as Premium Plus members
• Premium B and Premium C reserved seat holders are now classified as Premium members
• Budget reserved seat holders are now classified as Access Plus members
• 11 and 17 game members without reserved seating are now classified as Access (general admission) members
Please note we have only renamed our packages and that this will not affect member benefits you had in the past. If you have an allocated reserved seat this will not change and you can still renew the same seat you held in 2009 (provided it is prior to the seat renewal cut-off of date of Wednesday, December 2, 2009. After this date it cannot be guaranteed).
Why have the packages changed?
Extensive research with our members and supporters over the last 18 months has helped us to identify what members want in their membership packages. As a result, we have redesigned our packages to better suit member needs and we will continue to refine them over coming seasons. The new tiered membership structure creates a simple, uncomplicated range of packages. This allows members to easily decide which package suits them, based on the benefits they value most.
We are now offering three levels of membership packages for our reserved seat holders. Members simply choose their package based on their seating preference and then tailor to their individual needs (i.e. adult/concession/junior/family, entry to 11 or 17 games).
Our packages are detailed in the 2010 membership brochure (available online at richmondfc.com.au). (NB: as of 6.00pm 10/11/09 the brochure isn't on the web ) ;D
How is my membership classified?
Your membership package is classified by your choice of seating at the MCG and/or Etihad Stadium or by choice of no reserved seating (general admission).
What is the difference between the old membership categories and the new ones?
Previously members would select their membership type (i.e. Adult/Concession/Junior/Family), the 11 or 17 game package and then could choose to upgrade by adding a reserved seat across various seating categories. If you held a reserved seat it was classified as Premium A, Premium B, Premium C or Budget. These categories have been renamed and are now classified as Premium Plus (formerly Premium A), Premium (formerly Premium B and C) and Access Plus (formerly Budget).
Members will now choose the membership category (based on their reserved seating preference) and then within that category will select their relevant membership type (Adult, Concession, Junior, Family or AFL Club Support Seat Upgrade) and also the number of games they wish to have access to (11 home games or 17 home and away games).
Members who do not hold a reserved seat have been renamed and now classified as Access (general admission) members. Members choose the Access package and then from within that category select their relevant membership type (i.e. Adult, Concession, Junior or Family) and the number of games they wish to attend (11 home games or 17 home and away games).
Please note that we have not removed any of the member benefits that you have had in the past; we have renamed our membership packages.
Why have Premium B and Premium C been merged into one category; Now “Premium”?
Due to a low demand for Premium B seating and in fitting with our strategy to streamline and simplify membership options we have combined both Premium B and C into one package; “Premium”.
The name of my membership has changed. Has my reserved seat changed?
The names of our membership packages and reserved seating categories have changed in 2010, but your allocated reserved seat has not changed (provided you wish to retain the same package you had in 2009). You can still renew the same seat you held in 2009 (provided it is prior to the seat renewal cut-off date of Wednesday, December 2, 2009. After this date it cannot be guaranteed). It is up to you if you wish to change your seat.
I would like to change seats, how do I do this?
Depending on where you would like to sit, changing your seat may mean you are also changing your package. Of course you can still change your seat within your current package also.
All seat changes are subject to availability. You can request to change your seat allocation and/or package on your renewal or application form or by contacting Member and Supporter Services on 1300 RICHMOND (1300 742 466).
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact Member and Supporter Services on 1300 RICHMOND (1300 742 466).

Yeah, I know, I'm still cranky that us full members who live in Qld had to pay to see our home game on the Gold Coast. I'll believe "listening to the members" when I see it.

Yep looks like an administrative change more than anything else. Whereas before you chose your type of membership and then added a reserve seat afterwards, they now want you to decide on what reserve seat category you want and then choose the type of membership. I'm not sure what difference it makes to us.
No slogan yet. Perhaps Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence' lol.

cause l had enough of forking out for junior league quality football from a AFL club that supposed to put on the best quality skills in Australian football. We pay huge money to go to games even being members. A family day out cost me $400 min or a weekend can be twice that. Anyway its not about money. Its about the quality for the money.
If the AFL want to charge crazy prices for food & drinks & the clubs charge supporters to sit & watch football than it would want to be top quality football.
that is my whole point
Them skill errors & bad decision making are so basic them footballers alone reguardless of who coaches them, there is no way in the world after watching 10 years of consistant ugly football & a 15th finish on the ladder at the end of a coaching rein & all the promises in the world things will change is enough for me
l'm not paying any club to watch crap like that & l'm a MCC & AFL member so why throw away money, its people like me who have stuck by the club supporting it & things just never got any better because the wrong people were at the helm of the club
Now l have a cut off point & thats my choice. If my other family members want memberships, then l will pay for them cause its thier choice to support the club the way they want. l dont make thier decisions for them. They are all old enough to take themselves to the games whenever
As for being a attention whore :lol l come here to vent about a club l have supported & been part of all my life. l'm no forum whore otherwise l would be on all the forum sites like you cause thats your life :lol while l read this stuff mostly off the workbench when l get spare time.
Imfamy grow up & get a life, l love the Richmond football club & all football in general & thats what brought me to look at forums to see if other supporters felt the same as l did.
There are many like myself who are not happy & if things dont change there will be alot more & memberships will fall
-
I'm not getting into the politic's of what is going on with you Tigermonk in here.
But I tend to agree with what you have said.
I for one will not turn my back on our club as you have said it is a life time of support that we have behind us.
I unlike you are the only one in my family to have a membership.
The rest as you have said have their own minds.
I will be increasing my membership to the 11 game concession ticket.
That will be my xmas present from my kids.

Its always nice to get a membership in the xmas stocking.
Make sure you get all axcited in front of the kids if they are young it helps bribe them to become Tigers ;D
Me l'm just a little mad at the decline in skills over the years & not just from our club
l find the AFL is in complete damage mode & from Auskick to AFL there are problem in programs & rules of the game
-
I don't have to worry about my kids they are adults.
The daughter has one and one on the way and I have got them over to us now.
So we all are Tiger's now but only me with the membership.
But I would rather have them with us than support anyone else.
And the Granddaughter will say when she see's a Pie's guernsey. Collingwood suck.
So she is fully converted.
I will get her a membership next year so she can pick her favourite player.

Our membership slogan for 2010 is "Feel it. Live it. Love it"

-
Not to be a kill joy but I've been pretty disappointed with the last couple of slogans we had. The 2009 - Total Tiger slogan made everyone automatically think - Total Wa.nker and I 'knew' we were in for a long year. Now we Have 'Feel it, live it, love it' which sounds a bit wally woofterish too me :help Just my opinion but it doesn't inspire me at all...
Once again sorry for the wet blanket
Stripes
-
Reading through the thread, some Essendon goon is claiming the slogan is actualy
Yellow and Black - Feel it, Live it, Love it
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16252578&postcount=24
Not so bad like that.

lol some wanker must have thought of that slogan real hard
other club supporters will hammer us with that crap :-[

Seriously when you are coming off a season like we've just had ... I would think they are pretty limited in what they can come up with
Have to say it's a helluva lot better than Carlton's "Can You Smell What The Blues Are Cooking" - I mean what's that

Yep 2JD - "Yellow & Black It's in the Blood" was fantastic and really they shouldn't be scared to use it again
-
Corny (didn't the Saints have a similar slogan a few years ago?) but as WP said there's no much you can come up with after the disaster of a season we've had. Let's hope we at least play with some competitiveness and desire next year to love it.

The 2010 membership brochure is up on the RFC website

(http://oneeyed-richmond.com/images/membership/2010/brochure1.jpg)
Noticeable that this year's theme has a 'team' photo rather than a pic of a handful of individual players.
-
They have put their prices up again. I'm sure it was only around $160 for a standard 11 game membership last year. I'm close to getting a mate, (not even a Tigers supporter) who comes to the football with my troop quite regularly, to buy a membership but that extra $20 may be enough to put him off.
If I didn't have so many friends who come to various games throughout the year I would get a reserve seat in a heartbeat. It may even be worth grabbing a 17 game membership this year except that we really only have a 16 game package when you include the Skilled Stadium game.
Stripes
-
Yep once again prices have risen more than 10% in some cases.
Good on the RFC to reward the supporters that have stuck with them through thick and thin.
I will always get my RFC membership with my AFL but i tell you these price increases are a disgrace. CPI increases are okay but anything more than that is a joke
-
It's a possibility that it's to do with the prices that RFC have no control over.
The AFL froze GA prices last year so it wouldn't surprise me if there is a decent rise in prices thanks to the freeze last year, as well as someone needing to fund the new stadium agreements that like it or not, will be expected to be put in some part on those attending the ground.
I doubt it's purely a price grab to see them rise by so much.
-
It's a shame that once again the Tiger Insider membership will be classed as non-ticketed despite it giving full membership (voting) rights and it being the same price if not a bit more than many 1,2,3-game memberships at other clubs that are classed as ticketed. It would be great just for publicity purposes to say we have 45k members rather than being limited to 36k ticketed members which have different criteria from club to club.
I'm not sure what the solution is though. I don't know if adding 1-game entry to it would be enough to get it re-classified as ticketed.
-
I have just renewed my membership to the consesion 11.
Which is a step up from the Tiger Insider.
We have done it on the Rolling one so now each month it will come out.
So next year my membership will count towards the numbers.
And I think this is a good move, all I know is that I'm happy.
-
if i was to buy a reserve seat (Level 2 or 3) does that give me that seat for the away matches?
:)

rang the membership dept this morning to renew for 2010 but they are not taking full payment renewals untill the end of next week so I have to wait

It was dumb to win more than 4 games and lose a priority pick (imagine having picks 17 and 19 now) but we had already lost the PP before the Melbourne game. The win though meant the Dees where gifted picks 1 and 2. The worst game of AFL footy I've ever seen as well. We should've been too embarassed as a team to celebrate that "win".

Its the clubs fault. The club has never done what needs to be done to get success. We could be sitting with 3, 17, 19, 35 and 44 as decent picks. The one pick at 17 has cost us a good player - and for what "supposed winning culture" Im still disgusted.
-

I think for 17-game memberships you only get allocated the same reserve seat for home games. That's what the membership brochure infers. Someone here who has that kind of membership would know for sure.

Membership renewals update
richmondfc.com.au
Fri 20 November, 2009
The Richmond Football Club has experienced a slight delay in membership renewal invoices being sent out.
The Club will officially launch its 2010 membership campaign early next week and we anticipate that renewal forms will arrive throughout Monday and Tuesday (week beginning 23/11).
As a result of this delay, the Club has extended the reserved seat renewal cut-off date to 5pm, Wednesday 9 December, 2009.
If you have any enquiries, please contact Member and Supporter Services on 1300 RICHMOND (1300 742 466).

17 game memberships with a reserve seat means a reserve seat for HOME GAMES ONLY
The RFC in their wisdom don't offer reserve seats at away games - :banghead

Well I haven't spoken to Benny; Beren, maybe I should ;D ;) ;D
I have however suggested previously to the membership people and they said at the time that there just wouldn't be enoung interest for it to justify the work and resources required to "action it". My answer to that was to cap it a say 500 seats in tis first year and see what the members response is .. the answer to that was NO we aint doing it

Perhaps the new admin, new Club outlook might look at it now. I know of at least one other club that does it.

Yes Collingwood offers it and it is very successful
I know quite a few people that go to all games who would be very interested in have reserved seats at away games especially at the 2 main Vic stadiums connected to thier 17 game m'ship.
The thought of not having to worry about purchasing reserve seats for away games at the MCG or Etihad for me at least is very appealing. Hell I'd live with having to still pruchase tickets to that pathetic excuse for a AFL venue at geelong ;D

The 'updated' brochure has been released.
Cotch has replaced Richo on page 12.
Patto is still in the middle of the huddle on page 6.
Maybe we are going to redraft him :rollin

Anyone know if the membership upgrades - ie Cubs Club - is in addition to the membership payment or inclusive of it. So in other words will it cost me $56 or $94 for my kids membership?

Yellow & Black: 2010 Memberships
richmondfc.com.au
Mon 23 November, 2009
2010 Richmond membership page (http://www.richmondfc.com.au/membership/tabid/7629/default.aspx)
Yellow and Black . . . two colors that mean so much to Richmond supporters throughout the length and breadth of the land.
No club in the AFL competition is defined more by its colors than Richmond.
The bellowing of “Yellow and Black” at the end of the Club’s great theme song is a ritual unique to the Tigers.
To the Tiger faithful, the Yellow and Black colors clearly are one of the Club’s iconic brand values. They help define who the Club is, and what it stands for.
The mere sight of the two colors combined - virtually in any form, anywhere - ignites a feeling within Richmond supporters that is hard to explain to outsiders.
To love Richmond is to love the Yellow and Black colors . . . it is as simple as that. Through thick and thin, that’s the way it’s been for more than a century - and that’s how it will be continue to be for the next century and beyond.
With this in mind, Richmond is proud to launch its 2010 membership campaign:
“YELLOW AND BLACK . . . Feel it, Live it, Love it.”
It’s a campaign that is bound to strike a strong chord with Tiger supporters because it is at the very core of their emotional connection and devotion to the Club.
The famous colors are the embodiment of the passion, pride and loyalty displayed by so many Richmond fans, over so many years.
In the hearts and minds of those fans, Yellow and Black are much, much more than mere colors . . . they are a way of life. And, it’s a way of life that they love - unconditionally.

Well done on reaching the 10 years to.

All renewed, too easy on line. Moved to the rolling tiger payment plan. Never have to renew again. :thumbsup
Very excited. Even a diabolical year like last year is still great fun. Love going to the footy, love the Tigers. Happy to say my daughter does too. Won't be long before my son will be coming with us also. Happy days.

I feel your pain torch! I have been a member 15 times over the years but circumstances prevented me joining up 2 years ago so....back to the old drawing board. What's more important is how you see yourself as a supporter. I must say though, the rolling tiger option is one of the best things ever.
-
I have to agree with the Rolling Tiger way of doing thing's now.
I have changed to that one this year also and think it is the best way to go about things.
Saves you having to find a heap of cash at this time of the year along with Xmas.
So I will be staying with this plan from now on.
I have worked my self up to the Silver.
So now I have been putting my money where my mouth is.

Agree. That's where the Rolling Tiger really comes into it's own - an extra $75 spread over 12 months doesn't seem as stupid as the concept of paying for the guarantee in the first place! :-\
-
I signed up to the Rolling Tiger program this season so should automatically become a... GOLDMEMBER next year. Very Austin Powers.

I went to the club on Tuesday MT but have to wait as I am upgrading to a reserve seat this season to see whether previous members keep their reserved seats so I can be allocated one. I am a gold member currently and this will be my 13th season. Half way to being a platinum member lol. :lol
Yeah rolling tiger is the way to go and I will subscribe to this way as of next season. Too much Christmas shopping and bills this time of year as I usually renew in January or Feb once the xmas rush is over.
-
The rolling Tigers give us much better chances to increase our membership as it isn't coming out in one huge sum of money.
We will be using this from now on as I only see this as a step in the right direction. And it is way easier on the pocket.
Wish I was a wake up to it earlier.
Does anyone know if other teams do this or is it just us.
-
Just confirmed from the club. I got my Premium Plus reserved seating upgrade at the MCG and Etihad Stadium. Club were very cooperative and helped me out. :thumbsup
All on the Rolling Tiger Package. Level 2 Olympic Stand at the G and Level 2 at Etihad. :thumbsup
Roll on to 2010. The Hardwick era is upon us.

Point is l've been a devoted paying supporter since the early 70's but the crap that has been dished up since 2001 has taken its toll on some supporters
The Wallace spin years really done my head & l'm not paying for C grade football skills until l see a huge improvement
those aweful skills & unforced mistakes are not enjoyable to watch
You can still be a supporter by going to games, it dont mean you have to pay for pathetic football just cause you follow a club but plenty will

gaurantee a grand final seat lol are they serious ;D trying to steal money off the supporters how pathetic
well sorry but l dont need a membership being a MCC so they can jam it up thier ass
How many times have you bragged about this now?
l will say it as many times as l like just like you keep replying to it, how stupid are you ;D Hows that facebook car has it arrived yet lol

The rolling Tigers give us much better chances to increase our membership as it isn't coming out in one huge sum of money.
We will be using this from now on as I only see this as a step in the right direction. And it is way easier on the pocket.
Wish I was a wake up to it earlier.
Does anyone know if other teams do this or is it just us.
Bushy I think you will find that the majority of clubs provide this option now, they may call it by another handle, but still the works the same :thumbsup

Not too bad given memberships were sent out late this year.

Not unexpected considering that as a Telstra Dome resident a massive % of Essendon memberships are reserved seat members so it guarantees them entry to the smaller ground.

The Bombers have also had rollover memberships for a while now which plenty of their members have signed up to. So as soon as Essendon release their membership campaign they can include most of those 17,000 in their membership tally from day 1.

I got a Adult17 this year and thought I was splurging!!! :o After seeing what you pay for a Coterie Membership I am amazed. :help
What do you get for that sort of money? I'd be expecting in sit in the coaches box, players briefings and take my pick of the players girlfriends for each halftime. ;) :cheers

Stripes,
I have the Player Club double package and it gives me:
2 x 17 game memberships
2 x Premium reserve seats
Guaranteed finals tickets x 2 (including the GF is RFC is playing)
Access to a function room B4 the game, where one of the coaches comes up prior to the game to speak
Refreshments at half time
During the season there is a dinner where all the players attend and you are seated with your sponsored player
Name on your player's locker
Near the end of the season there's a locker viewing, only a couple of players attend that
Signed photo of your player (previously you got your photo taken with your player but not in 2010 that's been taken away)
This is my 6th or 7th year of doing it and when I first started it was around $1800 a year now it's $3400. I'm starting to wonder whether it is worth it to be honesy
As I said in an earlier post I was disappointed with the increase (up $400 on this season) more so because some things have taken away next year (eg the photo and we got jackets this season) but hey that seems the nature of the beast these days.
-
What you get seems fantastic but for over three grand a season it would want to be. :gobdrop All the same I'm jealous that you can afford such an expense. That will be my next aim, to become a coterie member after working my way up to reserve seating, MCC membership and getting rid of the home loan....only 30 odd years to go :help

$3400 is for a double membership though. ;)
Mine is a single & I worked part time to pay for it. Worth every boring hour. :)

Yep no disputing that the $3400 is for a double. Double or single the prices have gone up
The single one's gone up $200 on the 2009 price and again based on what's been taken away I still say I think the increases are disappointing in the overall scheme of things
The increases in the Player Club prices are IMHO made even more disappointing when you consider the Richmond Executive package has only gone up $150 and none of the beneifts appear to have changed
-
I suppose one could argue that at least next year we actually get 11 home games. The replacement 'home game' against Melb gave us a reserved area to sit in and nothing more.

Yeah you could but everyone membership category & coterie group could argue the same this year.
My view is this: 2 x 17 game memberships with premium reserved seats would cost me $1036 ($518 ea) + the GF guarantee would cost $150. Total = $1186.
Is the difference of $2214 worth the benefits we receive in Player Club?
-
I had a look again at the interstate membership. Its not really worth it as I can't even guarantee I will make it to the Brisbane match. Instead of paying $125 for something I may not use I'd rather pay a token fee to +1 to our membership total.
-
Hi WP, regarding the photo so do you mean the photo you used to have taken at the players sponsor dinner? I was thinking about getting the Players Sponsors package B but no point if I can't have my photo taken with the player I sponsor unless I get one taken by a passerby "oi mate, can you take a pic of me and my boy". Certainly doesn't seem worth the extra dollars you are required to pay.

Yes that's the photo I mean - the one taken at the dinner. The renewal clearly says you get "signed picture of your sponsored player" unlike previous years where it said you got you photo taken with your sponsored player at the dinner. I've checked and what I've been told is we are not getting our photos taken with your player
But can I add that the dinner is awlays a great night :thumbsup
-
Yes i have been to a couple of the dinners and they always are a good night.
Sounds like cost cutting in one hand and more revenue raising in the other.
Thanks for that.

paid my membership yesterday.
saw some players.
Shane Edwards in his very nice BMW.
Robin Nahas in some black car, i think it could of been a Mazda.
funny, at the same time, saw Dean Polo walking into the rooms and Nahas yelled something at him that scared him. lol!
then heading towards the Tiger Den, Polo was there and stood next to him.
i must say i was disappointed at his height.
i was actually taller then him! thought he was taller.
saw Luke McGuane who has very small arms.
not as big as i thought, no bulk on his arms!
also brought The "Richo" DVD, watch it, not bad!
could of shown more highlights!
:)
-
Hey Torch maybe you think they look smaller.
And this has made them look that way.
I know when the team were in Sunraysia, I stood close to some of the smaller type players and they were still taller than me.
Richo just towered over me.
But you see them on the box and you think that they are this way and when you really meet them they are taller or smaller than what you thought.

Are we doing good for members as last year to this date or behind ?
-
I believe we are a bit behind.
-
Thnaks for that, I hope we will make a bigger jump as the season comes closer.
-
considering we don't have the cousins factor this time and the fact that we just had a poor season, to be a little bit behind last year is a fair effort i'd say.
-
I'd also suggest we are behind as memberships went out much later this year, Premium membership renewals only arrived a week ago too.
-
I think that we should do okay even without the Cousin's factor.
Get closer to the season and then I reckon we'll have members resigning or and a few will move form the Bombers to us too.

-
This time last year we had 21,017 (17k ticketed). So we're almost 4000 down :-\. Mind you there's no Cuz hype and mass media talking RFC 24/7 this time around plus our membership campaign started very late. I think we were the last club to send out our membership renewals.
It looks like those who jumped on the bandwagon last year have jumped back off. We've gone back to around 2008 figures for this time of year. We had 14,990 ticketed members on 16/01/2008 so that would be around the 17k mark if you include non-ticketed memberships.

We are well behind the 2009 figure for this time of the year and inbetween 2008 and 2007 numbers.
18/01/2010: Combined: 18,932
Past years:
19/01/2009: Ticketed: 18,379; Non-Ticketed: 5,191; Combined: 23,570
19/01/2008: Ticketed: 15,426; Non-ticketed: 4,137; Combined: 19,563
21/01/2007: Ticketed: 14,982; Non-ticketed: 3,896; Combined: 18,878
22/01/2006: Ticketed: 14,292; Non-ticketed: 3,774; Combined: 18,066
18/01/2005: Ticketed: 14,397

If those numbers are right, we still ain't looking too bad.
I think so anyway.
And if we are having a hard time, think of the Roo's that have a hard time no matter where they are.
I would be thinking we are way better off than them.
-
I'm pretty sure we would be more than 18,932. They said we sold over 500 memberships on Friday after we had 18,620. It's now Tuesday, so we'd be more like 19,500 by now

All the membership gains we made with the hype of last preseason have been wiped away by what happened in 2009 season proper :-\. We've basically fallen back to 2008 membership levels.
It's going to be difficult against Hawthorn down in Tassie but hopefully a good effort first up in the NAB Cup may give our supporters some hope.

At least that's a positive. For too many years we have under sold ourselves by only posting up ticketed members while most other clubs include non-ticketed, or at least quasi-members such as the Hawks Tassie memberships, as part of their overall total. Always made our membership numbers appear smaller in comparison that what they truly were.
In saying this, our numbers are very low this year but it is what you would expect considering the amount of kids and minimal chance of challenging for anything other than the spoon this year. :shh

To be fair the AFL hadn't finalised our draw til the last minute and ended up changing our home game against the Saints.

The draw IMV really is a none issue because at the end of the day we get 11 home games.
So it really deons't matter what the break up is - 11 home games is 11 homes game... so the price of a standard membership ticket (no reserve seat) will cost the same.
With the reserve seat thing the only thing that influences that is the break up of home games. We don't know how much it costs the club so they should have just bitten the bullet, made an assumption and got the membership renewals out earlier and then we would have gotten our membership stuff earlier
The late finalisation of the draw seems like a very convenient excuse to me

I second that too.
I for one really don't care when I get my membership as I know I have signed up and that enough for me.
-
I reckon if you have kids (and I don't) then the fact they are late is an issue. The kids want their stuff to show to their mates.
The other thing is and this is just my opinion it just seems the whole membership thing appears to be disorganised this year.
I mean look at the brochure they usually have a picture of the members cap, lanyard, scarf or stickers. This year there is nothing and has made me wonder if the club was late ordering all that stuff and therefore it's been late arriving, hence the reason why nothing has been delivered yet.
They said stuff would start hitting letterboxes this week. Haven't seen one person post and say they've got theirs yet... it just isn't a good look for the club.
We have our family day in a few weeks; it is there you want people in their caps so the kids can get 'em signed etc

Bit disappointing I renewed in November and to not receive my pack till February is very disappointing. Should have nothing to do with the late scheduling of the fixture. Poor form.
-
Not that I really give to much of a hoot ! But it is pretty funny them sending out the memberships and give you 2 weeks to pay or you lose your seat and then you wait 2 months before they send them out.
Improvement in any business has to be seen accross the board and I don't see it yet.
-
The last two post make real good points.
And I have to say that I never looked at it these ways.
-
When I renewed my membership in late November the girl behind the desk said the packs would sent out early January yet almost a month later we still haven't received them :-\. In the long run it won't matter as long as we get them before round 1 but I agree with WP. It seems the membership dept this year has been totally disorganised.
-
I received the same message MT about early Jan. I wouldn't be worried but I dislike it when someone assures me of one action and then disappoints me by not following through. Bad business and reflects badly on the club. WP is correct also about the kids - I told my young fellow he would be receiving his first membership this year in January and He has been checking the letter box everyday disappointed ever since.

I can totally understand the the little one would be dissappointed in not recieving their membership.
It's sort of okay to play us along but not the kids. These are the future of the club that they are fooling around with.

Perhaps it's not the RFC..... perhaps it's the supplier?

Perhaps it's not the RFC..... perhaps it's the supplier?
Considering it happens every year, we should find a new supplier

Speaking of memberships.
Remember the days when you could get entry into 1 Nab Cup game with it.
Just out of interest, were they delivered any earlier then ? :)

With all due respect Beren - it is the RFC from where I sit.
Part of the issue for me is when did they order the stuff?
You need to allow 6-10 weeks for this sort of things as they are sourced off shore.
Logic tells me that if what we are getting isn't shown in the membership brochure that came out in October then they didn't have it properly organised because they would have had a sample. Every year they've had a picture of the members cap, stickers etc based on the samples proved by the supplier, this year ZILCH

Those were the days ;D
Sometimes you got them; sometimes you didn't
When you didn't they'd make some sort of arrangement to get you in the ground ;D

I think the year we played Essendon in the GF at Waverly you got into all preseason games except the final.

I received a text message from one D. Hardwick yesterday reminding me I hadn't renewed my membership. I'm still agonising who to choose as my new favourite player - plus getting over the Christmas/back to school fork-outs.

problem is we are only about 50% of the way to last years total if memory serves me correct.

A decent NAB cup run should see those numbers increase markedly, but we would have to buck the trend of previous years as we have been woeful in the pre season.
-
Do you think that people take the NAB as a bench mark of how a team will go in the real season.
I don't just look at the Blues how they have good showing and fail the season proper.
Hope we still get the required nembers we need, just to make it a little easier on the team.

What about Geelong last year? St Kilda preliminary finalists the year before.
A decent pre season campaign will increase membership.That's the only way. If we lose by 10 goals next week after the disaster of 2009 do you think our fans who haven't signed would be saying that's allright we'll be okay just look at Carlton in 2007 and 2009 surely we can do the opposite and finish top 4? ::)

Yep, but 2 weeks ago we were 5,000 behind. The Cuz factor had nearly run it's course by mid-Feb last year so it looks a lot better now than it did a few weeks ago. Maybe the late start to selling had more impact than most of us thought it would? And maybe our supporters are a bit more loyal and a bit more hopeful than the doomsayers want to believe?

Fantastic result so far by the supporters. Would like to know what the break up is between ticketed, non ticketed and reserved season holders OR revenue TY vs LY

Question, has anyone received their memberships yet ???

Mid Feb (not sure if that means this week ;D) they are saying now

Still wating for mine.
I feel sorry for the kids going by what has been posted on here already.
So for the kids get them out first so they have something.

well my membership packs arrived today!!!!
we will do ok membership wise, we may dropa touch from last yr but thats expected, but say we start the season with a bullet and do the unexpected , everyone knows many tiger fans opo out of hidingand jump back on the caboose
-
well my membership packs arrived today!!!!
that's good to hear ..finally
And did you score a cap or scarf TT11?
Just curious as to their quality and design ;D
-
Mine arrived today as well :thumbsup. The scarf is better than last year's.
I notice Luxbet doesn't appear on most of the membership gear whereas Dick Smith is on everything including the scarf. I'm presuming kids aren't allowed to have stuff with names of betting agencies on them(?). Seems rather than catering for adults and kids separately the Club just ordered in bulk and left out mentioning Luxbet altogether. Not sure how that goes down with Luxbet though :-\.
-
Mine arrived 2day as well, woo hoo !
2 Adult and 2 Kids 11 gamers. :cheers
-
Well an attempt to deliver 1 out of 3 membership packs was made today ;D but no-one was home so a parcel pick up card was left
Will pick ut up tomorrow
I reckon for the next couple of days there will be 1 delivered - too logical to deliver everything together ;D
-
yeah mine arrived today too
nice scarf ,but really wanted a cap,not really a scarf person

The silver member in our household got theirs today
I don't think it's "gold" but certainly a darker shade of yellow - like the sash on the jumper
Have to say the quality of it is terrible. It looks cheap, poor stiching, bad fit.... obviously been very rushed
On another note..
Another Tiger alert today saying that it could take up to 3 weeks for all the packs to be delivered

In a word .......... STRUTH

I really hope we beat Hawks. We'll probably sell 2,000 next week if we do. We are selling about 250 a day and if we can go far in the nab and have a big family day we'll be 45,000 before the bounce of the ball against Carlton ;D. Then belt Carlton in front of 90,000 after Richo's lap of honour and we'll reach 50,000 by the opening bounce of our 2nd game

Got mine in the mail yesterday also after I signed on in November. ::)
Gold member for 13 seasons.
I like the scarf but to me its not as nice as the centennary scarf we got in 2008.
Much prefer the caps.

But this years is a shocker ;D

Got to agree there, WP. I expected somthing branded with RFC or Tigers, but the cap, and the stickers, are branded, "Yellow and Black". It's not a winner.
Someone should be asking marketing the hard question.
What were they thinking?

Still don't have mine yet. Though to be fair, they do have to send it all the way to North Richmond ;D

In November I purchased 3 memberships with 2 being reserved seats memberships.
Today in the mail I received:-
2 memberships, my sons didn't arrive
one reserved seat membership, one standard membership (I have a receipt that shows payment for 2 reserved seats).
And to rub salt in the wound, they have me as a first year member not 19 th year!
The one that really rankles is losing my reserved seat which I have had for 14 consecutive years and stuffn paid for nearly 3 months ago.
stuffn thanks Tiges!

Have you contacted then about the seats?
If you renewed the seat by the cut off date then they have to give you that seat... I'd be contacting them
-
I got my normal membership 11 game + reserved seat today
I have to say the scarf is much better quality than the cap
I am still waiting for my Player Club memberships... who knows how long that will take :-\
Also haven't received the pet membership stuff either

yes, renewed before cut off (my wife got her seat and guess who paid for that at the same time!) and yes will see them tomorrow. They only arrived today and I discovered the cock up when I arrived home from
work tonight.

Who on OER has a reserved seat on the 2nd level in the Olympic Stand with their membership this season?
I finally upgraded and decided to get a reserved seat for this season.

every year i hear of at least one stuff up like this :-\
-
Must say if they did that to me I would be ropeable. Hopefully they haven't allocated it elsewhere and all will be good.
The caps last year were probably the best of the lot over the years, but nothing to write home about.
How much more would it cost to make them in that climacool elastic stuff so they fit and look good. Not much I'd dare say.
Got my stuff today, must say the scarf is OK even though I don't wear them and allready have the other in the backseat of the car.
NB: Noticed I have just notched up 30 years - 20 more for yellow and black and a finals gaurentee (Make it just in time hopefully) :rollin
Oh and welcome to the Southern stand Jack ;D
-
Agree CUB last years caps were great probably the best in a while hence I will be more than happy to wear it to the footy again this year as I do on days when I hide my hair.
The 2009 Gold member cap did not feel cluttered and just looked great with just the right amount of yellow. :thumbsup
I loved the 2004 cap too and had that for everyday use for years until I forgot it in the dressing rooms after playing soccer and never saw it again.

Have to say I wont be using the scraf - it's average (best scarf they've had was the one for the centenary year)
When I do take a scarf I take Ma Powell's scarf (yep I am sentimental old fool). ;D
As for a cap - I'll stick to the Reebok one I bought at the end of 2009 for $15 ;D

Got to say for the life of me I don't know whay they don't approach Reebok and try and get somethng through them. Great for kids = a brand name and great for Reebok = brand exposure

If we're comparing combined figures this year with last then we had 46k members in total last year.

C'mon Tiger fans prove me WRONG ;D

Im still hopeful. Those of us who once again have contributed have a clear conscience. Lets hope theres another 20,000 people who want to be able to sleep easy at night and have a clear conscience. Richmond membership is good for mental health. It keeps you mentally stable, it ensures you never get ahead of yourself and finally it ensures that you can never have delusions of grandeur. RFC provides in effect a government health service- RFC the community minded club ;D

Its time for everyone to buy a 2nd membership and if people cant afford it atleast try and double up on an unticketed membership- only costs about 80
-
The more important thing here is revenue. The tally number is just an ego thing for some clubs. The Hawks might have had the most "members" last year but by no means did they have the highest revenue from membership thanks to them including cheap 1-game memberships to boost the tally number.

Sorry Ramps the Powell family "well" is empty
I already have a coterie membership, plus a normal 11 game with reserve seat (that makes 3 in my name), plus another family member has an 11 game with reserve seat (so overall that's 4 memberships) then on top of that we have 2 pet memberships. I am sorry but I am "done & dusted" ;D
Oh yeah the Pet memberships finally arrived this week with scratch marks all over the metal plate thingee.
-
Mine too, they get far too much money out of me. I have a 17 game membership, a player sponsorship, I am going to the season launch, I go to the B & F and I am a Club80 member, sometimes I think I have rocks in my head.

Yep, mine too Ramps. I figure the $75 grand final guarantee is a good substitute and as MT said - it's all about revenue - so I figure I've done my bit, even if my extra doesn't count towards the membership figure.

I've justed worked out how much I have spent so far on season 2010 (memberships & merchandise)

I haven't either and I must say I am mighty peeved about it. Charge an extra $500, take away some of the benefits .... the least they can do is get it out early :-\
We have recieved everything else - just waiting on Players Club ::)

I figure the $75 grand final guarantee is a good substitute
I've gone that way as well :outtahere
It will be close to worth a few thousand dollars by the time we get to use it :D

I agree RFC, the scarf is pearler! I am a country supporter and everyone thinks i am mad to be a member as i work and play footy on the weekends and never use the benefits that memberships provide! But i explain to them that membership is a donation not a money saving action.

I'm surprised of the criticism of the caps. My bronze cap is what I expected I'd get.

I'm surprised of the criticism of the caps. My bronze cap is what I expected I'd get.
My issue with the cap is the quality and finish of it is pathetic.
Perhaps you've got a good one tigersalive but I can tell you the one received in our household is woeful. It certainly wont be warn in public :-\ >:( ;D
I know they are massed produced and that is part of the problem but gee can we ge tthe basics right please >:(
Here's just a couple of things wrong with ours:
1/ The stitching on the peek is all over the place which has resulted in the material not lining up where it should. Where the black should run it is yellow in some places then black in others
2/ It is lop sided - what I mean there is when you wear it the right hand side is longer than the left hand side.
3/ The stitching on one side is crookied and it stands out because there is black stictching where it should be yellow (on the yellow side panel).
Sorry but it isn't good enough...

Just had another look at mine given your comments and it's fine.
No sign of any of the problems you have detailed.
Next time you are down at the club take it in and ask for a new one.

Geez, you did get a shocker. All stitiching is straight and materials appear to be where they should be on mine and the peek is where it should be.

Can report that I finally got my Player Club stuff today
I received an extra lanyard brand Player Club, that I have to say is of much better quality than the standard one ;D

Yes WP a much nicer quality.
Great to have the membership in my hands at last.

I finally got around to picking my membership pack up from my PO Box. It had been sitting there since the 10th Feb so looks like I got it the same time as most of the early reports of them showing up.
The Gold Member scarf seems to be the same quality as the one I got as a Silver member last year.
Lanyard & stickers the same too, doubt I'll use any of them to be honest, perhaps the scarf but I can't remember the last time I used one. While the extra stuff is nice, I think they should have a tick box that says you don't want all the extra stuff.

Renewed my two memberships on Monday and bought an additional one for some mates to tag along if they wish, hopefully get them all in time for Round 1! :thumbsup :gotigers

My youngest renewed his membership last Friday and received his pack today - they must have caught up on the backlog pretty quickly!
-
2000 renewals in the past week. The family day would've boosted this week's tally but if we can keep this rate up in the next 4 weeks till round 1 we could have around 36-37k members going into the game. We're still ahead of Carlton in memberships so despite a drop off from last year it's still not all bad news.

I renewed a couple of weeks ago but still haven't received mine.

Id prefer 41-42k the days before the first bounce. Having 10k memberships not renewed by R1 could be a massive problem if we get flogged.

North must be wishing they took up the GC17 offer
How can they remain afloat with those numbers?

When you look at our numbers compared to other clubs - our numbers are not too bad
However, when you hear & read that Bullies are $1 mil up revenue waise because of their increase in numbers you understand why we need to improve our numbers

the numbers so far arefantastic. 35k would be amazing. We cannot expect to come too close to LY membership numbers after the way all at the club let us down in 2009. There are some who will find something else to do with their $150.
That's reality and Benny and his Marketing Buddies need to come up with alternatives to leaning on the disillusioned masses.
The way we are going we'll be tracking kangaroos numbers in 3-5 years time as the continued failure of the club on field must be putting Gen x'ers (our biggest fan base) and their kids to the point of doing something else on the weekend.
And you can't blame them. Fine line between loyalty and stupidity. The club has had more than enough time to get it right and I don't blame one supporter for stepping away for a few years to see what happens this time (although I hope they still sign up).

Tigers fight to hold fans
* Jon Ralph
* From: Herald Sun
* February 27, 2010
RICHMOND chief executive Brendon Gale says there is no excuse for the Tiger Army not to sign on this season, even with the Ben Cousins buzz gone and a year of pain forecast.
The club was thrashed by Hawthorn in its NAB Cup opener a fortnight ago and today faces premier Geelong in Yea at 4pm in what could be another one-sided contest.
But Gale is bullish about the club's membership levels, which last year reached an exceptional 37,000.
The Tigers now have 28,600 members, just short of their goal of 30,000 by the end of February.
Coach's box sponsor Lite n' Easy yesterday signed on for another two seasons, and Gale is hopeful reluctant members will do the same."We have renewed Lite n' Easy," Gale said.
"Rightly or wrongly we had plenty of attention on our coach's box last year but we are thrilled.
"Last year was a bumper year for members, but we have ambitious plans for the future.
Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.
End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
"Look, we are aiming to hold up our (membership) numbers.
"A lot of people say there will be natural attrition and there was the Cousins' factor (last year).
"Last time I looked Ben was still here with us and the results were disappointing last year but we have got to suck it up.
"We have got a new coaching team and a new exciting way of playing footy.
"It's going to take a bit of time but there are 16 kids capable of debuting for us this year and a lot of them will form the basis of our next premiership side.
"We really encourage our members to sign on and be part of the journey."
Gale said the club's hierarchy was not dismayed by the dismal start to the year against Hawthorn.
"We knew Hawthorn would be a very good side, and they should finish top four," he said.
"Last year we finished 15th.
We want to get a whole lot better.
"Next up we get the reigning premiers.
"It just reinforces the competitive nature of this competition and the work we have to do.
"We have got ambitious plans for the future and we know where we want to be in three to five years, but clearly we have a lot of work to do."

Sure we're well behind last year's hyped up record figure but where's the Herald-Sun article Ralphy on Carlton's membership numbers given we are still ahead of them? ::)
Having said that a competitive result against Geelong today would help restore some confidence and hope to keep supporters signing up.

That win should help a bit. :)

Fans rally to buy AFL club memberships
* Aaron Langmaid
* Herald Sun
* March 01, 2010
FOOTY mad Victorians are swearing allegiance to their teams in droves, with the total number of AFL memberships on track to smash last year's record tally.
While some clubs have spent big bucks on marketing campaigns, others have offered cut-price incentives to boost numbers.
Just weeks out from the opening round, almost 305,000 people have handed over hard-earned cash in support of Victorian clubs.
It compares with the 375,396 fans who signed on last year.
Collingwood and Hawthorn boast the largest official fan bases, with memberships of 45,597 and 45,000 respectively.
The Western Bulldogs would be hoping a successful family day yesterday - and the addition of key forward and crowd favourite Barry Hall - will help increase its meagre tally of 24,787.
Clubs struggling to attract members include North Melbourne (18,083) and Melbourne (22,604).
Carlton memberships have remained relatively strong, but management is confident a new membership structure where fans can join up for $80, will make a difference to its final margin.
Hawthorn, which hosted a family day yesterday, is trying to reach a target of 50,000 by round one.
And president Jeff Kennett said last year's record of nearly 52,500 was within reach. He credited the club's push into Tasmania for the success, with the campaign likely to rope in up to 10,000 - or 2 per cent of the state's population.
"When we first started we had about 1100 Tasmanian members - last year we had more than 7000," he said.
The addition of Ben Cousins is credited for a membership surge for Richmond in 2009, and a new coach is expected to push numbers up again this season.
Cats president Frank Costa said the premiership side had benefited from a surge in numbers thanks to last year's success.
He said Geelong was on track to reach a membership base of more than 40,000.

No bad considering. With the lack of media exposure, the club message of 'a development (pain) year' and general state of our list you could justifiably predict a much lower number at this stage. Just shows you how loyal our members are and how they realize that if they wait for success before joining/renewing they may be waiting a long time.
We say it every year but imagine how large our membership would be if we showed even an ounce of promise :o

No bad considering.
I'm staggered at the numbers Hawthorn claim to have. They have done extremely well to get that many signed up.
As you say if only we had some success..

Still a couple of hundred per day. Would make it around the 35k mark by the first game if we keep it up and that wouldn't be a bad figure at that point, all things considered.
-
what was our combind figure this time last year?
I notice in the articles they keep mentioning 37k last season but we had 46k combined and his year the 30k we have now is combined so in essence we are a lot further behind last season than it looks. what are we about 25k ticketed?
-

@ 23/2/2009
As of February 23, 2009
Ticketed: 27,171
Non-ticketed: 6,979
Combined: 34,150
http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum//index.php?topic=7868.225
Comparing further back:
24/02/2008:> Ticketed - 22,600; Non-ticketed - 5,745; Combined: 28,345
26/02/2007:> Ticketed - 21,839; Non-ticketed - 5,034; Combined: 26,873
28/02/2006:> Ticketed - 19,469; Non-ticketed - 5,192; Combined: 24,661
24/02/2005:> Ticketed - 19,195; Non-ticketed - 4,625; Combined: 23,820.
01/03/2004:> Ticketed - 20,692
So we are 29,643 @ 3/3/10 which means combined we are down just under 5,000 on 2009 numbers but ahead on 2008
-
We'll probably crack the 30k mark today. With 3 weeks till round 1 we're still on pace for 35-36k by then.

Be interesting to see if Cotchin's text message has any noticeable impact over the next few days.

A long way of the 75,000 Benny Gale is aiming for by 2014. Hope we get there. :pray

It doable but we need on-field success to crank it up that high. The Hawks virtually doubled their membership within 5 years thanks to being a genuine contender (having a freak FF that attracts fans also helped them).

Richmond signs 30,000th member
Richmond Football Club is pleased to announce it has hit the 30,000 member mark for season 2010.
At the close of business on Thursday, the Club had signed 30,159 members.
“Despite the fact that this membership number compares very favourably with other AFL Clubs, we have set ourselves very ambitious targets with membership both this year and beyond,” Richmond CEO Brendan Gale said.
“The Club is thrilled to have welcomed almost 2,000 new members on board in 2010. It is testament to the commitment of these supporters, who are now members, that they have made this commitment after a disappointing 2009.
“The Club joined 12,000 new members in 2009, which indicates Richmond’s support is as strong as any other club.
“If you have never been a member, the club needs you to commit in 2010 and be part of the biggest transformation we have ever seen,’ he said.
The Club has been buoyed by the re-signing of rising star Trent Cotchin, who noted that the support of the members and supporters was a factor in his decision to commit to the Club until the end of the 2013 season.
Despite the 30,000 member target being reached, Gale issued a warning to members that 2010 was not the year to be reconsidering their commitment to the club.
“Of the 12,000 new members who joined in 2009 on the back of an exciting finish to 2008, only 3,632 have renewed in 2010,” he said.
“It is these members who hold the key to Richmond proving to the entire football world that our supporters are with us through the good times and the bad. At this point a 30% retention rate on first year 2009 members does not indicate this.”
Gale congratulated and thanked long-serving Richmond members who have once more showed their loyalty to the club, with retention rates at an all time high for longer serving membership categories.

I 'd guess it depends on how many of these members were actual Richmond supporters. Some would've been hopping on the bandwagon but others might have been Eagles' fans or people who just bought a membership last year because we gave Cuz a second chance.
Still 30,559 and the rate it's moving at should see us with around 36k by round 1.

Where have those 8,500 gone?
Cmon Emos,get on board FFS.
You will regret not seeing the Tiges rise.

Just think how many more members they would have if they had shown improvement on thier skill & decision making last year.
Just shows how imcompetant Wallace & his coaching staff were over 5 years & poor management from March & Co not to pick up on it after 3 years
What really done it for me was to see the captain Newman with his poor skills & workrate that was far below AFL standard.
So you cant blame those missing members for not wanting to pay for poo football
Gee l tell ya what the way they are ringing & Texting l may get a good deal this year thats too hard to refuse ;D

It's not so much a matter of just inflating membership numbers, but more the extra dollars it will bring in by people signing up that otherwise wouldn't.

then only make it available to:
1) concession card holders
2) people who brought a tigers insiders membership the year before.
-
If other clubs inflate their memberships we should too.
Hawks have a 5 game mebership for about 10K Tassie members that will surely drop off if the Hawks pull the plug from The Apple Isle or the AFL grant Tassie their own Licence.
Skunks have something similar also in terms of a 3 game membership.
We should think of doing something similar. Some membership dollars is better than no membership revenue.

Some will, no doubt, but it will probably bring in more new members than would do this. The biggest group that would drop their current membership in favour of this would probably be the country/interstate members, so perhaps any such membership catagory would have to be comparable with the existing country/interstate memberships

country maybe Al interstaters doubtful as they can us theirs to get into games in their state if based along same lines as current 11 and 17 memberships then 3 gamers wouldnt be able to use 3game membership for interstate games

Yeah, good point.
-
Geelong probably need to offer a 3 game membership because Kardinia Park capacity is less than the number of members they have. Never going to be a problem for Richmond, even if the 75,000 target is achieved.
-
At the end of the day membership is about generating revenue for clubs. So it shouldn't matter if a membership includes match-day games or not if the purchase price for it is the same. There's an argument the tally should be measured in terms of dollars not numbers as the latter can be easily manipulated using these reduced memberships to inflate tallies. The only thing against a pure dollar tally is a club like Essendon needs its fans to buy reserved seats given the Docklands limited capacity so would have a higher $ per member ratio.
Btw this time last year we had 31,052 + 7,738 = 38,790 members so we are 8000 behind now. Just shows again how much hype was around us last year :-\. We're still just ahead of the 2008 figure though.

2003 - 25,101
2004 – 27,133
2005 – 28,029
2006 – 29,406
2007 – 30,044
2008 – 30,820
2009 - 38,790
2010 - 30,951

At the end of the day membership is about generating revenue for clubs. So it shouldn't matter if a membership includes match-day games or not if the purchase price for it is the same. There's an argument the tally should be measured in terms of dollars not numbers as the latter can be easily manipulated using these reduced memberships to inflate tallies. The only thing against a pure dollar tally is a club like Essendon needs its fans to buy reserved seats given the Docklands limited capacity so would have a higher $ per member ratio.

It'll be closer to 7,000 by the time we get to 11th march. I'm sure there's a few to count over the long weekend and over the next 2 days plus some that haven't been counted from family day 8)
-
Still good figures based on our efforts last year. A good start may have us nudging 40.
-
why doesn't Richmond have a 3,4,5,6 match day membership?
i think it is a great idea!
:)

Things are crook if after 3 weeks they haven't included all the memberships sold on family day
WOuld think those numbers are in there

Because it would erode those who pay the 11 game membership, hence hurting overall revenue??

Gee looks like we've somehow sold 800 memberships in 24 hours ;)
-
Going ok IMHO. Need to be as close to 40k as we can by the day before our 1st game. People like monky should join. The Gale vision for the Tigers needs everyones support, at least buy a membership!
-
16 days to go till round 1.
An avg of 500 members sign up between now and then and that's another 8000 members on board. That would have us at 39-40000 members.
A 2-2 start would be encouraging and not unrealistic with our first four games being
Carlton(H)
Dogs(H)
Swans(A)
Demons(H)
will inflate figures even further.
Somewhere between 40-45 thousand members by the June 30 cutoff although improbable is still realistic and very achievable and based on our results last year would be an excellent result and a vote by the Richmond fans that they believe genuine plans are in place off field to improve the club on and off field. :thumbsup

If we could match last year's figure that would be a fantastic result. Personally, I think if we are around the 35k mark by round 1 then we will have done very well and as you say Tucker, a half decent start could see us end up with 40 plus. I would be more than happy with that all things considered.
-
This is the first year I've even considered applying for the interstate membership (I see it more as a donation given that I get nothing out of it and there are hundreds more eligible charities out there than the RFC)
-
No idea whether anyone from the club is reading this or even if anyone cares..
However I just want to say what a professionally executed package this year's "Yellow & Black - Feel it. Live it. Love it" membership drive has been.
The branding of the club has been consistent from top to tail across all advertising products, merchandising, web etc. etc. and it's a far cry from the amateur efforts of recent years.
The marketing department appears to finally be working hard to deliver a professional product and it's makes the RFC look infinitely more attractive in what is an increasingly competitive market.
These things won't get noticed by many but I sure as heck have been paying attention.
Great job RFC marketing department and those involved, someone's working their backside off behind the scenes to improve this aspect.
Keep up the fine work. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

They'd include all the memberships purchased at the game on Friday and other paper based applications over the weekend. Would have been processed on Tuesday after the long weekend. Expect another bump of a thousand early next week and hopefully a bigger bump after round 1 when all the johnny came lately's or people who routinely join up start of year hop on board. We are still tracking a fair few thousand behind last year. I'd expect 40,000 all up by June - about 7k down on last year.
Maybe the stirring little video released today with Cotchin holding the cup will add a few more.

that's got B.Gale all over it. I've heard him mention several times now about the marketing and membership department and " exploring how we can better understand our members and their needs and how to get them on board".
Quick story from the 90's. I was coming out of high school, parents just got divorced, I was going to uni and was hardup for cash so let my membership lapse for 3 years. Not 1 single attempt at contact from the RFC, not one letter nada. At the same time my bro did the same thing with the hawks except he let it lapse for 5-6 yrs and he received a bombardment from the hawks every single year, 5 years on! incredible. No wonder they started passing us in the 90's, sure they count their pets but they were doggedly determined.

Club should go all out for membership numbers. The entry level package for people outside of Victoria isn't worth it. Create something very cheap for 4-5 years to explode the membership base.
So in the interest of building a worldwide brand, the RFC should introduce an international membership. This would be available by referral of an existing member for say $10 each and give them the basic merchandise plus access to RFC media content to follow us. Then we should negotiate with the AFL to lobby Telstra to give them live streaming video coverage of RFC matches as long as they are O/S.
Think about it - at that cost it is a nice xmas gift for your old flatmate in London, or the German bloke you worked with, or the Canadian girl on exchange you rooted. For $10 each you could easily double our membership count. We would lobby the AFL to subsidize the media content.

Where do I find one of those Canadians on exchange??
The club does have a membership that does not include any game entries. The tiger insider is $80, which is probably a little overpriced and interestingly is not included in the official memebership tallies. It does get you acknowledged in the reward programs and other membership benefits, so it may not be a bad idea for someone just wanting to make a 'donation'.

We've been growing at around 2,000 members per week for the past month. There's two weeks until round 1 so we're on target for just over 36k by then.

Yep Tony we have been amateur in this area(and many others) for years.
Great to see the club improving and it will pay off.

Probably sums up that in the past we as a Club thought it was all just going to happen. Our membership grew quickly during the 90s. From about 7k up to 29k in 10 years (to 1999). We had more members than even Collingwood at that stage. It went backwards in the early 00s under Spud (down to 25k) and other clubs easily went well past us. The Club has improved in some ways (rewards program etc) but it still does some dumb things regarding memberships. It was ridiculously late sending out renewals this time around.

All part of the service ;D. I don't post the membership image from the RFC site because it automatically overwrites when it updates. That's why Madtiger's post now says today's tally despite it being posted yesterday ;). Posting the number means we can keep track of our membership at various times of the year for comparison this time next year and beyond. So not so cheapy :wallywink.

Time to be decisive with the 'roos. No reason to prop them up any longer - the market only supports so many clubs. The problem for them is the attractive new markets have gone, and the AFL are unlikely to expand again any time soon. They've shot themselves in the foot and I couldn't care less.

Another 12000 and we would have done a terrific job membership wise. Maybe its time for the club to do some reverse marketing instead of having the 33000 figure- have the figure needed to get to 50,000 (in this instance 17000. Make it like a goal to be achieved on our way to 75k.

The total opposite story on SEN this evening with Leech and Ox.
A Tiger supporter rang in in disbelief about the club's lack of chasing up calls over a 15 year period.
First up 15 years ago he wanted to join up his whole family (him, wife, 2 kids). Club said they would get back to him. Never did. He eventually joined up his family himself.
Then later on he wanted to ask the Club about something to do with membership for his disabled son. Once again no return call.
Last year rang up the Club about merchandise. Contacted them a couple of times to get back to him and still no return calls.

The loyalty of our fan base never ceases to amaze me :clapping
I think the AFL should introduce a new method of rating 'memberships'. A membership in my opinion should be 11 games or perhaps $160. Memberships that cost $60 should not be classified as 1 member but rather 3 such 'membership' should count as 1 member. Similarly if someone pays $500 to become an exclusive member of a club they should be counted as 3 average memberships.
This would make the membership numbers much more relevant, more meaningful and club comparisons more worthwhile. It irks me that clubs can count members who have 3 - 5 game packages as a 'member' while those who have 17 game memberships etc are categorized the same.
Look at Hawthorn and now Collingwood's membership packages - no wonder they are over the 40 thousand mark already
Just annoys me :banghead

I completely respect your decison and the reasons outlining it, there comes a time for all when one says enough :)
however I am bloody thrilled to hear they are hounding you day and night :thumbsup shows they are dogged and will keep on trying. Its a lot better than a decade ago when they couldn't even follow up lapsed members once.
Good post and great to see that plenty of fans are still showing their unconditional support by buying a membership even if some have chosen not to.

Certainly an uneven playing field given there are so many packaging variations and hard to read too much into the numbers based on that premise.
Perhaps a financial figure re contributions of member$hip would be a more accurate reflection rather than just simple inflated or otherwise numbers.

well done to all of those who have purchased a membership!
KEEP THEM COMING!
however ...
for those who do not have a membership and are on OER, "Please" get one!

i agree with Kevin Sheedy!

The total opposite story on SEN this evening with Leech and Ox.
A Tiger supporter rang in in disbelief about the club's lack of chasing up calls over a 15 year period.
First up 15 years ago he wanted to join up his whole family (him, wife, 2 kids). Club said they would get back to him. Never did. He eventually joined up his family himself.
Then later on he wanted to ask the Club about something to do with membership for his disabled son. Once again no return call.
Last year rang up the Club about merchandise. Contacted them a couple of times to get back to him and still no return calls.
:-[
Amazing.
Yet never in all my years of dealing with the Club have they failed to get back to me/reply to an email or call.

Comparing these figures to 9 days ago we have increased our membership by more than most others. Given the lack of incentive with practice match form, I wonder how much this has to do with the release of the 3-0-75 plan?

North 20,423 - (19,599) +824 - 4.20%
How can North possible survive in the long term. Everyone knows that last year the clubs membership was buoyed by sympathetic opposition supporters and would drop this year. That figure proves it. Surely, if they want to survive, the AFL should move them to Tasmania so as to still keep the team numbers up but appease the Tasmanian people and generate more supports for them.
I'll be interested to see Sydney's figures. West Coast, Adelaide and Fremantle are membership giants, but the Swans.....The AFL will be watching this closely given their GWS plans. :whistle

for the first time I think we can pass last seasons total which is incredible when you think about it and has proven me wrong. If we can come out and beat the blues we'll beat last seasons tally as I recall memberships almost coming to a standstill after last seasons round 1 debacle?

You just have to be positive and things will come good ;D
Beat the Blues and we'll have 40,000 members heading into the Round 2 game against the Dogs. Hopefully we compete well against the Dogs and Swans too. Even if we don't win but put up competitive efforts I'll be happy although we always want wins. Then we can come out and bash the injury depleted demons and hit 45,000 members by Round 5 8)

How many (combined) did we get last year?

I think it was around 45 000 smokey though we had an unusually high (around 6000 if I remember correctly) quantity of WA members on the back of Cousins recruitment which would have dropped dramatically this year.

Hey guys, if i buy a membership tomorrow will i be able to get in on thursday night without the membeship card? because i dont think it will get here in three or four days.

Harro - Probably better off buying it from the membership stand before the game, I'm sure they'd provide entrance to the game if you buy your membership there. No need to worry about names on gates or waiting for the mail, etc.

We should be close to 37k by Thursday night. Not too bad considering where we are at plus no Richo and no hype over Cuz this time around. A fair few of our supporters sign up at our first home game so hopefully if we get a surprise win we can be pushing past 40k by round 2. We'll need to get as many by then given we're playing the Doggies after the Blues :help.

Richmond's terrible season last year, which produced just five wins, has not led to the dramatic fall it could have on ticketed membership, with the Tigers poised to break 30,000 this week.

Was down at the opening of Auskick for 2010 the other day and in the the prep kids clinic the overwhelming number of kids had Tiger jumpers on. Was great to see and hopefully those youngsters see this club rise again over the next few years.

37,009 means we are now ahead of Essendon. Amazing we're 3rd biggest Vic club at the moment :o.
I got this info second hand so I don't know how reliable it is but I bumped into a guy I know who attends training before the game tonight and he said he spoke to one of the staff at the membership van/tent and who said we sold 2000 memberships tonight. Certainly the Richo merchandise was selling even after the game as I passed the van heading to Richmond station.

lets hope we just show some effort and improvement over the next few weeks its important we do, even if we dont win, we just have to show we having a dip

I agree.
And I they show the same sort of thing that they did in the first half where they tried, on one can boot them in the backside.
It was good to watch them fight back.

yes l agree Mr Magic
The club has been sold to solid members for years promising to fix past mistakes
sad point is the last excuse blew me away when they said they had no-one to develope the players
Thats not a valid reason for me seeing they are a 100 year old club & meant to be one of the most professional in the league
You would hire developement staff before you hired a poo talking leatherneck who left us a bad list & heartache & put a caretaker coach in place like Melbourne. Bailey is quite happy with that & knows his day will come but at least he will hold his head up high & still be respected at having a go.
Terry Wallace will never be hired again by any club even at lower levels cause he cant coach or has any idea how a football club is run ;D
Thats why barrackers like me become just that, cause we dont support bad management :thumbsup even if it breaks my loyal membership.

A surprise win or two in the early part of the season other than beating Melbourne just for the sake of this thread may boost membership sales a little quicker. Not that the Melbourne game is a gimme as we all know that. Both teams will be keen. Losing to Melbourne may slow it down further than it is going now.

Not wrong there guys. The food prices are exhorbitant but not usually a drinker at the footy but I did have a couple of bourbon and cokes with a mate last week and the bourbons set us back $9.50. For cougars as well I think or some sort of inferior product other than Jimmy. ::)

If you track results of clubs memberships from bottom of the ladder to consistent top 4 or finals you'll find membership increase by 60-70%.
For us it would probably double given the drought will probably see unprecedented support for the club.

How do we compare with 2008 is what's important.
-
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?
Stripes
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

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

Still well down on last year but best marketing ploy the club has done in years is to join the other clubs in combining their membership numbers in the total. Means we are finally comparing with them on almost level terms. All we have to do now is to create and include memberships of around the 3 game package such as the Hawks do for their Tassie memberships and we can get a realistic figure.
Those type of minor memberships should never be allowed to be included but if other clubs do we should as well.

Hunting members
By Michael Warner
Thurs 15 April 2010, Page 82
RICHMOND fans continue to part with their hard-earned cash, despite the Tigers' disastrous start to the season.
The club's membership tally was 32,400 last night -- about 4500 short of last year's record of 36,985.
But the Tigers are hoping to bridge the gap with a new three-game membership offer.
"It provides a great opportunity for previous members, who may find it difficult to attend many games, to reconnect with the club in a membership capacity, and it is a great introductory offer for those supporters who have never been members before,'' Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale said yesterday.
The $79 membership offers admission to any three of the club's nine remaining home games.
-
Good initiative at this point.
-
well Ill probably be buying another one to add to my annual one this week whats another $79 .... good initiative by the club.
-
The club's membership tally was 32,400 last night -- about 4500 short of last year's record of 36,985.
Seems that quite a lot of last years membership figures were of the cheaper, novelty type so allowing for a few more 'full price' memberships between now and June we will fall about 4,000 short for the year - around $450k-ish. Not too bad all things considered and probably somewhere around what was allowed for in the budget, certainly nowhere near as impactful as a $1m shortfall.

Smokey, this article is talking about ticketed memberships only. Last year we had 36,985 ticketed membership without any real cheap ones or "gimmicky" ones (is that a word ;D). The novelty ones you refer to are the non ticketed which took our total number to 45k+. But I do I agree that in total we will fall about 4,000 short. A total of 42K-43k would be a bloody good result IMO
And I think you are being kind - I reckon if we fall 4,000 short of last year were are looking at a loss of $$ of around $600k

Yeah WP, I realise that, that's why I wrote what I did. Of last years figure, the memberships that have much more impact are the 'full dollar' ones and of the ~7k we are short this year, only about 4k will be 'full dollar' so not as big an impact as it looks - that was my point.
-
I doubt the AFL would sanction a 3-game membership as ticketed so Michael Warner is likely barking up the wrong tree by only quoting our total ticketed members.
If not sanctioned as ticketed, it will help bridge the gap between the 46020 members we had last year compared to now but not between our 36985 ticketed members last year compared to now.
Still, whether ticketed or non-ticketed it will bring in money to the club and should help bridge the financial gap.

i have been suggesting these for yrs now, other clubs do it so why cant we
-

Probably because a lot of full 11 game members will downgrade meaning a loss to the club
However, I don't mind bringing it in at this stage of the season, especially with the results in the first 3 games.

Richmond 3 Game Access Membership
(http://www.richmondfc.com.au/Portals/0/3%20game%20web%281%29.jpg)
Richmond has launched a special three-game membership package for the remainder of the 2010 season.
The three-game membership is priced at $79 and will ensure admission to any three of the Club’s nine home games still to be played this year (starting with the Round 4 match against Melbourne at the MCG this Sunday).
“A key element of the strategic plan, which the Club recently released, was the target of 75,000 members by the end of the 2014 season. We believe this three-game package is an excellent way to start maximising our membership numbers,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.
“It provides a great opportunity for previous members, who may find it difficult to attend many games, to reconnect with the Club in a membership capacity, and it is a great introductory offer for those supporters who have never been members before.
“Our 2010 membership target is 42,000 and we hope this can give us the added impetus to get there, as well as giving more of our supporters a stronger connection with the Club.
As of close of business on April 13, Richmond had a total of 39,755 members for 2010.
For more information on the three-game membership package, please contact the Club’s membership department on 1300 RICHMOND (1300 742 466) or click on the link below to purchase.
3 game Access membership includes:
· Admission into 3 home games
· Inclusion into our Reward and Recognition program (R & R Fulfillment not included)
· Membership lanyard with card wallet
· Member only ‘Fighting Tiger’ Club magazine (one per household)
· Weekly emails throughout the season
· Priority access to purchase finals tickets subject to participation
· Invitations to Club Functions
· Priority rights to purchase tickets to the 2010 Jack Dyer Medal Count
· Full voting rights (members 18 years of age and over)
· 10% member discount on full priced Club merchandise at the Tiger Den

See I don't agree Monk. I think a $70 compared to a $500 membership is considerably different. Yes they are both financial members but if we are attempting to compare value to a club then you could have 6 of the first type and still come short of one of the more expensive membership type. Sure you could argue about equal commitment and not punishing the poor etc but the facts remain that many clubs have engineered these 'small' memberships are much to gain numbers as they have to gave people attend games.
If the aim to to get money into the club then a expensive membership should be counted as more than one and a very cheap membership less.
Just my take though I noticed that Benny Gale has introduced a 3 game membership today in an attempt to compete with the marketing ploys of the other clubs so I guess we are finally playing the game on near equal terms.

The other side of that coin Stripes is that more numbers mean a better 'sell' to the corporates, the sponsors who will kick in multiples of thousands of dollars to get coverage. Numbers are what matters most to this group so it's not as simple as just counting the pure dollar value of memberships alone.
-
there are many ways to look at membership.
l see your points Stripe & l also see Smokeys. l sort of just stating a membership is a membership to me in my personal view.
l hold memberships for several clubs as most know. Its no big deal & alot of people do it. Same as in other country leagues l do the same, + l get season freebies off MR D :thumbsup
Anyway l got a email today about the 3 game membership & think people with a low budget or concession would snub it. just my view
A mate who goes to footy tells me he pays under $13 for a general admission because his in between jobs his got a card that gives him concession entry.
So he said why pay a club $79 for a plastic card to see 3 games in general public when he can get into 6-7 games for same price. Now this is just general talk here cause his a Demons supporter.
But would a Tiger supporter buy a 3 game membership at that price if he was out of work had one of them cards, OH Centrelink l'm just told ;D is there any benefit for who the club of course.
The supporters gets what 10% off at places he cant afford to shop at anyway. l not slamming it in any way just giving the views of 2 football supporters of different clubs.
He be at the game using my Melbourne membership that l continue to buy from when my father died as he was a long supporter of thier club. Not meant to say this but several mates use it as well so its great value for everyone ;D & l'm happy to save them some money :shh
will there be figures available on these 3 game memberships, l suppose not so it will only show on the card but the bloke using it l suppose will feel proud

Probably, even with a couple of wins, but maybe 41-42k isn't now. And a bloody good effort that will be too, if it happens. It usually dies right off after the first month of footy but with our new 'reduced' ticket, maybe we can keep squeezing a few more.

Are you sure Infamy? I remember Benny Gale being interviewed after the 70-5-3 (or whatever it's called) thing was launched and he said that the Club expected to maintain the same numbers this year as last year.
IIRC one of the questions put to him was something along the lines of after a terrible 2009 the Club would have budgeted for a drop this year and he said no; and that he was bullish about what could be achieved and expected to maintain numbers. Now that could of just been for the media I guess

Not all people can attend all home games due to work, sport etc. that clash with Richmond games.

Nah, don't thinks so Bents, even if we won 3 or 4 on the trot. No club gets many from the start of May onwards and we will be very lucky to get 41,500. Which is not bad all things considered and a good launching point for next season when the masses will be able to see a tangible improvement in our prospects.

AFL memberships are booming and the AFL could not be more delighted. Nor could Frank and Rocky Derango, both of Kew and both signed-up Brisbane Lions members for 2010.
But behind the dazzling numbers, it can be hard to figure out what is really going on: the truth, if you like, about cats and dogs and AFL club memberships.
Two-year-old pug Rocky is a Lions member, a privilege for which owner Frank - himself a member for more than a decade - paid $40. ''He sits and watches the games with me, he is as passionate as they come,'' says Frank, 33.
But while Rocky is included in the figure of 27,981 members supplied to The Age by Brisbane - and most likely the figure pitched to potential club sponsors - he is not counted by the AFL.
Others are. The traditional 11-game membership is now merely an option among a suite of choices. As clubs such as Hawthorn and Collingwood post membership figures of more than 50,000 - undreamed of until fairly recently - at least part of that growth can be ascribed to the rise of minor memberships, such as three and four-game packages.
Asked how many members they have, many clubs offered different sets of figures.
Collingwood said it had 55,519 ''match-day members'', a figure that includes thousands of three-match memberships.
The AFL now includes memberships of three-games or more in its official statistics. These are the ones Andrew Demetriou was talking about recently when he announced record club membership across the league.
Most clubs now keep two sets of figures - matchday memberships and non-matchday. Those that officially count and those that do not.
At the time of asking, Essendon had 39,310 members. Of those, fewer than half - just over 14,000 - were the 11-home-game packages that once constituted the bulk of club memberships. Among the remainder are five-game members, seven-game members and 10-game members. The Bombers also had 9643 ''non-matchday members''. These are membership types that do not officially count and yet are counted for bragging purposes.
The Swans membership of 31,866 includes fewer than 20,000 of the old-fashioned member types with more than 7000 Sydney fans having three-game memberships. North Melbourne have only about 8000 11-game members.
Geelong also added three-game memberships this year and more than 1000 Cats fans have taken them up. In addition, the Cats offer Melbourne four-game and country five-game memberships, which count towards their overall tally.
Within football there are whispers about some clubs offering memberships to sponsors in contra deals that beef up membership figures artificially. Collingwood is the example given most frequently, with representatives of three clubs suggesting the Magpies had given away significant numbers of three-game memberships to Westpac staff as part of a new naming rights sponsorship for their Swan Street training base.
''It's pretty shameless the way they've done it,'' one club official said. ''I'd be surprised if they are the only ones but the scale of it is impressive.'' A top man from another club agreed: "It's not unusual. A lot of clubs are doing it and the benefits are obvious," he said. ''We don't run around like some clubs handing out a thousand memberships to sponsors here and there."
Collingwood admitted to The Age that memberships were included in the Westpac deal but would not say how many.
''We won't divulge confidential agreements with sponsors other than to say that Collingwood has always included memberships in its sponsorship and corporate packages,'' a spokesman said. The club emphatically denied that memberships were ''given away'' but admitted that some were part of contra deals.
Asked how many members it currently had, St Kilda volunteered a figure of 38,538 at the time of asking, late last month. It sounds impressive, and potential sponsors may well be persuaded to get on board a growing club.
Would they be told, however, that this figure includes 1242 single-game memberships? That's right. The one-game membership ($55) has arrived. Officially, those people don't count towards the AFL's statistics but the 1140 St Kilda three-game members do.
All this change is partly about - as they say on TV's The Wire - ''juking the stats'', but it's also about offering enough options and sufficient flexibility to capture the maximum number of people.
At the Brisbane Lions, there are 16 different kinds of membership including pet membership and baby membership. The Lions, along with Collingwood, were pioneers of the three-game package but almost all clubs either offer them now or are preparing to. Hawthorn, with its four-game Tasmanian membership (of which there are 10,000 this year) was another leader.
Collingwood has also been able to boost membership by converting between 7000 and 8000 fans who were registered on a database for matchday tickets into three-game members, one source said. ''That was a clever move that instantly lifted their membership,'' the source at a rival club said.
Essendon will launch its inaugural three-game membership later this month. Port Adelaide, Richmond and others are following suit. "It gives you a second wave of your membership drive," Bombers CEO Ian Robson said. "At this point now, sales of the traditional 11-game membership would be petering out.We have packaged together three home games late in the season and now we get a second membership drive. We are looking to capture those supporters who - for one reason or another - have not signed up.''
The newer membership-lite options also reduce the "churn rate" of those who fail to renew. And they give club databases the details of supporters who can be targeted in future for upgrading to full memberships. The AFL says its research shows the explosion in small-scale memberships is attracting new fans rather than cannibalising 11-game members.
"The clubs are happy because it is a PR boost and it improves the pitch you are making to sponsors," said one club executive. "The league is happy too because it makes things look all that bit healthier."

the afl needs to do something about memberships
for me: the only memberships that should exist are:
Family Membership
17 game package which I think already exists
11 game package with and without reserve seat
5 game package without reserve seat (Every club can probably use this as a specialist membership of there own choice- I liked Jakes Tiger Nation idea for this category and maybe include Interstate Members
3 game package without reserve seat - Currently our Tiger Insider and maybe include Interstate Members
Kids Memberships
Memberships that dont carry rights to attend to atleast 3 games should not be allowed. Now maybe the categories arent right as I have put them up- but the AFL needs to simplify the categories so everyone knows whats going on!
-
I wouldn't say they shouldn't count, but they should be made to disclose and differentiate the amount of ticketed members
A "ticketed" member should also be standardised between all clubs, not the mess it is now.
-
Was finally able to afford a membership. Bought a 3 game one yesterday. ;D

well done Danog

Should have done the rolling Tiger one as this is only a real small sum each week.
I went from the Insider, where no games were on it, to the 11 game without reserve seating.
Knowing that I really wont make a game very often.
But if it helps the club out then I'm fine with it.
So I would love to get down to Melbourne to catch a game once a year at least.
But it is doubtfull it will happen. :gotigers

Same, upgraded to a 11 game membership to support the club a bit more and it doesn't look likely I'll be able to see a game this year unless it's very late in the season, which is disappointing. I hope they appreciate my donation.

At least Brisbane members turn up to games unlike North's. Gold Coast isn't Brisbane either and has a population of over 500k and growing with plenty of ex-pat Vics up there.
All the membership tallies of the clubs seem to have levelled off pretty much so a great effort by Tiger supporters once again :clapping. Hopefully everyone can see the potential in our cubs and hop on board for the ride in 2011 and beyond.
-
good sign to see us get over the 40,000 membership number i think.
seeing how no much hype was built around this season giving we've had to bite the bullet and trade youngsters.

Chuck in another 100k in Tweed Heads too MT. A very large % of these are expats too. The important indicator is not the expats however, it's in the increase in numbers playing junior football in Queensland. Here is some info:
The AFL has released the participation figures for the 2009 season with Queensland breaking the 100,000 mark for the first time.
With the total number or participants reaching 103,358, the 5% growth was spread evenly throughout the state with several regional and metropolitan areas showing a total increase of over 20% for the year. The total participation has seen steady growth from the 27,675 Queenslanders taking part in some form of the game in 2000.

There has been a steady increase in figures for the past couple of decades but recently the figure has 'exploded' and significantly, the code's main competition up here - Rugby League - has shown a decline in numbers playing. It's common to see AFL playing grounds in schools up here now (Auskick is now conducted in almost every junior school in Sth East Qld at some point during the school year) and junior teams have sprung up all over Queensland compared to when I was actively involved in coaching 20 years ago. Rugby League's new team (4 years old) - Gold Coast Titans - have proven the capacity of the Gold Coast to support a national football code attendance-wise and the time is absolutely right for the AFL to take the next step in pushing it's development into the region. The way they have gone about setting up the new team is light years ahead of how they bungled the original Brisbane Bears venture. We can't measure the success of the new team purely in terms of on-field success - it will be measured over time by regional participation figures, both playing and attending.

Sensational news. I wonder how many people will attend the Titans games compared to the AFL games? Great to hear that the participation rates has risen so dramatically. :thumbsup

Holy Smokes Smoke, they are great numbers.
What makes up the 103k?
Is it all participation ie Auskick, School teams and registered players in competition?

Richmond targets 42,000
richmondfc.com.au
Wed 23 June, 2010
With the imminent signing of Richmond’s 42,000th member for season 2010, one very lucky member will have the opportunity to remember the milestone for the rest of their life.
In light of the marvelous achievement, the Club has commissioned the production of a single 2010 RFC guernsey with the number 42,000 on it.
The 42,000th member, who is expected to sign up in the next few days, will be invited to Punt Road to meet coach Damien Hardwick, CEO Brendon Gale, players Brett Deledio and Jack Riewoldt, and will be presented with the collectors item guernsey fully-signed by the Richmond team.
With five home games remaining this season, the Club’s three-game membership package (priced at $79) still represents excellent value.
“Damien Hardwick has the team playing an exciting brand of football and there is a lot for Tiger supporters to look forward to for the rest of this season and beyond. So, for those who haven’t yet taken out a 2010 membership, I would highly recommend getting on board with a three-game package,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.
“Not only will you be able to access three out of the five home games we have left this season, you might just be the lucky 42,000th member, who will receive this unique gift, to commemorate the occasion.
“While the 42,000th member will be the fortunate one in this regard, we would like to acknowledge the magnificent support of all members in 2010, the majority of whom committed to the club prior to the start of the season”.
“Despite the team having won only three games for the season, our supporters clearly see a very bright future for the Tigers and they have rallied to the cause, giving us a great chance of achieving our 2010 strategic plan membership target of 42,000.”
All members should note that the AFL has a June 30 deadline for members to sign each season.

this is all good and stuff, but why is it that these big milestones always seem to give one of the last to join up a great prize?
How about the club give a jumper for 20 years of consecutive membership to long termers and people who have actually put some decent coin into the place?

Tigers hit their target
richmondfc.com.au
Fri 02 July, 2010
Richmond has reached its 2010 membership target of 42,000.
At the AFL’s June 30 membership deadline, the Tigers had a total of 42,007 members (ticketed and non-ticketed) for the year.
“Late yesterday, we achieved an important 2010 strategic milestone in signing up our 42,000th member,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.
“This is a significant achievement, which is a reflection of the loyalty and commitment of our members.
“On behalf of the Club, I would like to acknowledge the magnificent support of all those who have committed to the Tiger cause, as members, in 2010.
“Members are the lifeblood of Tigerland, and we are delighted that so many have put their trust in the direction we are taking as a Club.
“We are confident we have the right people, in the right places at the Club, to ensure that, in time, we adequately repay our members’ faith.
“While we are under no illusions about the challenges ahead of us, this is an exciting journey that we’re on. Ultimately, however, we can only achieve sustained success with the strong backing of our members.”

Incredible! :cheers but by the skin of our teeth though... :thumbsup
-
Just 4k down is a good effort considering where we are, the late membership release and we didn't have the hype and false dawn of last year. The Club was able to minimise the damage from 2009. I don't think we'll get a huge jump in membership until we start pushing for finals in a couple of years but hopefully next year we can push back up to 46k+ and some of those people who took up the 3-game membership late rejoin as 11-gamers which still boosts the Club's finances. If we were to reach 50k next year that would be a bonus.
-
That will all depend on the next 8 weeks MT. Our numbers will definentely increase due to the positivity on the foundations being laid but how high they go depend on our finish this year. One cannot question the spirit of a Richmond support that is the only guarantee I can give right now. :thumbsup

Now I am confused, is it because I have just had Friday work lunch ??????
-
the AFL hasnt counted the 3 game memberships
-
the AFL hasnt counted the 3 game memberships
No I reckon the AFL haven't included (or we haven't depending on what we submitted) the Non-Ticket memberships
-
I was excited that we had the third highest membership after the Hawks and Woods but now... :'( back to earth with a thud.

Wow Brisbane really struggling.
The introduction of GC17 will take some members from the southern suburbs and Logan. Sponsors will have two clubs to choose from as well. Both of these will be exacerbated if GC17 start like a house on fire. They have managed to do a great job of p*ssing off their Fitzroy support by changing the logo, losing interstate members. Their list could go one way or the other.
I think there would be a few very worried people at the Lions.

Yes but North would have to be and even bigger concern especially after demanding that they could survive in Melbourne. After one good year, where they received thousands of sympathy memberships from opposition supporters, they are now right back where they started - the anchor of the competition. Should be forced to move to New Zealand, Darwin or Cairns :o because they will continue to need substantial handouts until they find new supporters from a new market somewhere.
Sydney and Brisbane are in foriegn markets where buying memberships is a strange concept but I agree Jake, I think they will take a hit in membership next year and in the short terms for all the reasons you mentioned.
With Port, Sydney, Brisbane and North continuing to struggle along behind the rest of the competition, teams like Melbourne and the Dogs are shining lights with the increase they have seen. Hope it continues next year.

I agree. There has been a lot of chatter about getting more cities in regional areas of Australia and over the next 50 years you would think that somewhere like Cairns, Central Coast, Darwin, NZ, Newcastle, Canberra etc would have its own team, but you can't have a team like North battling year in year out.
Plus it was North who have four times shot themselves in the foot
i) They put up an unreasonable request to list something like 55 players if they merged with Fitzroy AND wanted to be called the Fitzroy-North Melbourne Kangaroos
ii) Turned their back on Canberra
iii) Turned their back on Sydney
iv) Turned their back on GC
Fug'em.

Yep they haven't counted our non-match day memberships which is kid of strange now given our non-ticketed membership is the same price as our 3-game membership. What's the bloody difference when everyone has equal voting rights ???. Next year ifpossible we should just add a freebie game onto the non-ticketed membership or just merge the non-ticketed and 3-gamer into one category so they are all counted.
The interesting thing from those figures is we are only down a thousand in ticketed members. A decent result give we went from "lock and loaded in 2009" to losing our first 9 games in 2010 when membership sales are mostly on offer. It's been non-ticketed memberships that have seen the greatest fall. Possibly Eagle fans dropping off after buying a token membership last year to support us for picking up Cuz off the trashheap.
Our junior and concession membership figures aren't too bad. The gap to make up for us is clearly in adult memberships. Even Melbourne for crying out loud has more adult members :P. Hopefully once the Tiger train is back up and running our latent supporter base who grew up during the successful 70s will jump on board the bandwagon and buy memberships to kick us up towards Benny Gale's target of 75k members all up.

Members stick with the Tigers in 2010
richmondfc.com.au
4:08 PM Fri 16 July, 2010
Richmond's slow start to the 2010 season has not deterred its loyal legion of fans from joining the Club as members.
Richmond reached its 2010 membership target of 42,000 by the AFL’s June 30 membership deadline.
At that time Tigers had a total of 42,007 members - 35,960 match day members and 6,047 non match day members.
The AFL only includes matchday access members in its final tally.
“We achieved an important 2010 strategic milestone in signing up our 42,000th member,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.
“This is a significant achievement, which is a reflection of the loyalty and commitment of our members.
“On behalf of the Club, I would like to acknowledge the magnificent support of all those who have committed to the Tiger cause, as members, in 2010.
“Members are the lifeblood of Tigerland, and we are delighted that so many have put their trust in the direction we are taking as a Club.
“We are confident we have the right people, in the right places at the Club, to ensure that, in time, we adequately repay our members’ faith.
“While we are under no illusions about the challenges ahead of us, this is an exciting journey that we’re on. Ultimately, however, we can only achieve sustained success with the strong backing of our members.”

Documents seen by the Herald Sun reveal 18,419 of the Magpies' much-hyped army have access to only a handful of games. The three- to five-game memberships, a long way short of the traditional 11-game commitment, make up almost a third of Collingwood's 57,408 paid-up fans.

Puts our figures into much more perspective doesn't it! Always thought we were up there with the other clubs for support and just needed to start showing on-field success to have that reflect in memberships. If they want to do a 'real' comparison then the AFL should set a benchmark that all clubs report by - pretty simple and would show who has the true support.
-
would say a fair percentage of that number would be interstate members - pies draw good crowds in all states (even though they dont often play in them)

Memberships for 2010 have now closed, and the Club is thrilled to report that in 2010, 42,311 loyal and passionate Richmond supporters were members of the Club :thumbsup.
This is a great result and we have ensured that our strategic plan goal of 42,000 members for 2010 has been met successfully.
Memberships for 2011 will be going on sale soon. In the meantime, you can update your account details by emailing membership@richmondfc.com.au
