2007 Membership - The Tiger Movement (Experience Generation Next)

[Ramps]

Im one of the people who believe that the big 4 clubs in Melbourne will one day hit 60-65,000 members each atleast. The sooner we get there the better.

I'm not disagreeing with your predictions Ramps. If with some success over the next decade or so we can generate a 600-650k supporter base or more then you'll "only" need 10% of them to sign up to reach that 60-65k figure. The issue at the moment is the Morgan survey claims we have a base of around 400k and if that's true only 6.5% of them are members. In the 90's the threat of extinction got Victorians in large numbers to become members. To generate more you'll need another incentive. Most likely long-term success and playing an exciting brand of footy to watch.

I am pleased to announce  that the first of MY memberships turned up today.

Not the Player Club one but the 11 game one that I have as an extra.

I think the Tiger skin will come in very handy ..............







To polish my car perhaps

Jonty might need a tiger skin jacket for winter walkies

The way Jonty is growing, come winter, he'll need about 5 of the skins to make a jacket that will fit

They really are useless aren't they - first thing I thought was car rag ..

They are just an impossible size to do anything with ... maybe if they were bigger people could tie them round there body leg arm or even use as a bandanna.

I watch the baseball and in the world series they have these things people whirl in the air, just don't think that will work here.

Marketing flop this one ... keep trying   

Just waiting on pet membership and all systems go

I don't mind the Club trying something new like this but yep, like singing, it isn't part of our footy culture.

ticketed members = 15,676

At a minimum we need to double that ticketed number

We should crack 30k but the AFL didn't help us scheduling our first two NAB Cup games away from Melbourne.

Sounds like they are sending them out in drips and drabs. I got mine a couple of weeks ago but others like fwoy haven't received them at all despite renewing at roughly the same time.

[letsgetiton!]

i ordered my usual 10 memberships, 5 have arrived, 5 have not.  i called them yesterday and they said all have been processed and ready to be sent as soon as more rags/skins arrive from overseas.

btw, whats with the bulldogs membership numbers!!! sinnce when do they have the right tyio have more members than us!!! aty this stage they are creaming us.
this is what i hate most about tigers fans, many of them just cant be f to buy a membership. we should have close to 40k based on our huge fan base, wtf is going on!
and the bloody saints, how many nuffs have jumped on their wagon over the past decade. b4 that they were lucky to sign 5k!

another beef i have, we are the only stupid club that separates non- ticketed members, wtf dont other clubs do the same. what i wanna know is , with the pies, bombers, saints cats and dogs, how many of their members are ticketed and how many are non - ticketed. i am preety sure their figures combine both which then makes us above 20k
