Membership 2019 - The Hunt Continues

[one-eyed]

Former Richmond commercial boss Liddle added: “If you want to look at the contrast of Richmond and Carlton…"

“Richmond with 100,000 members, if your average member nets you $100, they’ll start this year $4.5 million ahead of Carlton.

“It’s a big gap we need to fill.”

“When Brendon Gale got there (to Richmond), he mandated very quickly that they were going to put the member at the centre of that club and they are reaping the rewards of that right now,” he said on SEN Breakfast.

“It is a good case study for Carlton.

“In actual fact, Carlton’s supporter base - and this is based on AFL data - is actually about 25% bigger than Richmond’s.

“So that again just highlights what a great job Richmond have been able to do but it highlights the massive opportunity available to Carlton.

Still distinctly remember Lou Richards & Peter Landy agreeing that Carlton had a bigger fan base than us during the coverage of the '82 GF....have always felt they have but then again, I grew up almost completely surrounded by the pricks...

Doesn't Sydney have the most supporters in Australia?

Would like to see that data.....

Would be claimed data which is almost never relatable nor is it predictive...
Let’s trawl back a few years to when Carlton played Richmond in a final in 2013. Both clubs were similarly placed and I’d argue that the Blues had a better recent history but I’ll guarantee that we had more members

REASONS TO BUY: Why not join the biggest football club in the land? Hot off the heels of its first premiership in 37 years, Richmond became the first club to break the magical 100,000-member mark in 2018. A highly successful season and minor premiership ended in disappointment with a preliminary final loss to Collingwood, and the Tigers will have had all summer to rue missed opportunities. There have been minimal changes at Punt Road, but the addition of free agent Tom Lynch – one of the power forwards of the competition – lining up alongside 2018 Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt means the infamous "yellow and black" cry should be heard loud and clear in 2019. – Sarah Black
