The Tribal Council has Spoken - RFC Membership 2006

[mightytiges]

I'm not sure if they have included yesterday's signing  but in any case we're going about the same rate as last year which isn't a bad effort given we haven't had anywhere near the publicity of last year. 3 away games in the first 4 rounds against difficult opponents doesn't help us either reaching 30,000.

[PuntRdRoar]

i expect that by the end of r1 we will have about 25,000 members depending on what happens v the dogs i expect that we can get to that 27-28k mark, 30 is possible with a good start.

Sounds like we got around 500 members just from the family day alone.

I also heard the Club's radio ad today. Terry drumming up support to sign-up.

Really hard to judge how we're going with memberships at this stage of the year.  In days gone by a lot of the memberships would come in the first month of the season, but these days with reserved seating etc, people buy in advance.  Still, i reckon we'll break the 30,000 easy this year 

[mightytiges]

Let's hope we can Moi. We're on par with last year I'd reckon but a good win against the doggies before our first home game might give us that boost to break 30k. We should also remind people our home ground is the 'G and as the Comm Games showed what a spectacular ground it can be watching sport especially at night. Get on board the Tiggy Train as Browny would say  .

[PuntRdRoar]

somehow we need to try and convert non ticketed to ticketed...i dont know how but strategies need to be developed to reduce this number for the benefit of the ticketed membership total otherwise I think we're going really well this season.

You would hope there would be eventually some transfer as people think about upgrading given non-ticket holders have got in the habit of buying some form of RFC membership. Non-ticket numbers are significantly ahead of previous years.

25000 is a good base prior to start of the season...lets hope we get their before the 1st game.

Trent Jacobs interview

* Slight drop off during the Comm games but has really picked up in the last few days. Expect this and next week to be very busy.

* Patrons walking past to the 'G has increase sales at the Tiger Den.

* Tribal fever idea and tattoos - represents supporter loyality during the past 25 years and hopes now Terry and the boys will reward that loyalty in the near future.

* Temporary tribal tiger tattoos available at the Dogs? and Blues games.

* Bolstered reserve seating stocks now that the Olympic stand area is back.

* Pushing heavily to get 30k. Things tracking well towards that figure with Terry and players being strongly involved.

* Saints game - members should get there and in early as the Saints members will be omitted as well.

Membership coming along nicely.

We should well over 25,000 by the end of friday night. I think we'll be looking at 26,000 atleast on Monday morning. A win over the dogs is vital.

Spot on Ramps - bet the Doggies and we are on our way to 30k ticketed members
