33.000 seems a bit low. How us it the hawks have 35k already. I wonder if we will get more than them this year

Are you kidding me?

Gee I don't know, it's not like they are the reigning Premiers or anything like that.  ::) ::)

Shouldn't mean poo. Richmond is coming off their most successful season in 12 years. How much do you think the hawks will end up with WP ?

Only my opinion but if we dont pass Hawthorn this year in Memberships for me it would mean we have failed as a club. The goal is to achieve our target and get in front of Hawthorn in terms of membership sales.

The last few years they've been about 10-14k ahead near round 1 and we close the gap. Think we'll go past them this year. ...and as stripes said about 11k Tassie members

Yes  :clapping this is how I feel too. They're a small club and only have more members than us Essendon and Carl because they've been successful. Their supporters are arrogant about it too

1/ Considering we were as of last friday 7k ahead of the same time last year I think it is clear that our successful 2013 is alreading having an impact on our numbers

2/ I don't care about Hawthron. I don't give a rats how many members they have, how they get them or where they are based.

Only care about how many members we have and how they get treated by the Club

It will be interesting to see how many members you think they will get then...

I just told you I don't care how many they get or didn't I make it clear enough  :huh

So as a result I am not going to guess/speculate on a number because I simply don't care

Not sure why it concerns you so much TBH

It's a competition. 30,000 members for the year not too long ago was seen as a huge accomplishment....now its not. The success of our membership numbers is based on more than our internal growth as a club but also on how they compare to others.

This is the only reason I care what numbers the Pies, Hawks or any other club gets in any year.

I understand it's a competition of sorts

But right at the minute I am only interested in where the RFC is tracking compared to last year and whether they achieve their target figure for 2014.
