I understand that we need more money but your brute force approach of increasing membership fees by such a huge margin would only end up discouraging many from renewing and therefore offset any new memberships.

Im with Mrakov, although $500 is a bit high. If the club can hit us up with a finals campaign then a GF in the coming years would be happy to pay whatever is required as will a lot of people. They will come in big numbers if we make the 8

Thank you

Hopefully we can get back to 7k ahead of last year. We're almost 5k ahead now

We had 26,284 at the same time last year. So yep we've about 4,700 ahead. Add that on to the 53k we ended up with last year and we'll reach 58k at least. Hopefully as the season approaches and fingers crossed with a good start to the season, it'll bump up the membership to 60k+.

The club will rig it and still announce 60k even if we dont get them

The AFL audits the figures. That's why in the past there was a discrepancy between the Club's tally which included both match access and non-match access memberships and the AFL's official figure which only included match access memberships and in some years was 7000 less than the Club's figure.

Can you use more than a dozen words in a post? Are you trying to be OER's Ryan Gosling?  ;D

Not sure I needed more words to ask that question silly. Maybe I should've asked OE if he's having a good day?
