Membership 2008 - new club record

[wayne]

I just bought a Baby Tiger Cub membership for my 7 week old daughter.

She already loves watching the footy. It's probably a good thing she doesn't know which team is which or she'd send the Tiger membership back after last week.

Good stuff wayne

Looks like our membership has plateaued at 30.5k. Not a bad effort after a wooden spoon.

Congratulations wayne.  Your first?

Wayne I welcome our newest little member to the club. By the time she is of knowing what is going on we will be a strong outfit for her. Fingers crossed that is.

Yes first kid. She has kept me from going to any games so far this season, but i'll get to a few later in the year.

We need to make our membership plans all ticketed so next year we're up near the top and not looking like a membership rabble thanks to non-ticketed memberships that dont count there.

YES! 100% Agree

YES! 100% Agree

 

Even assuming 1000 supporters dropped off because the price was a bit higher for the lowest level membership we'd be at 38000 members on that table.

I really hope RFC are already taking action for next year on this. 

[mightytiges]

Those figures are a farce. How is Essendon allowed to claim 41k members when they admit their figure combines ticketed and non-ticketed memberships yet we can't combine ours?  Geez no wonder they got a 28% increase despite a worse on-field performance  . Comparing apples with oranges.

What about the characterless folk from Arden St? 32600 my you know what. They can't draw more than 30K in most of their Melbourne games. I think Jimmy Brayshaw is conning alot of people when in their rally to keep their club in Melb they could only draw about 2000 people.  Being tax time H & R should investigate

Many of those are sympathisers from other clubs. Let's see North hold that number in a couple of years without the publicity of being on death's door.
