[mightytiges]

Great stuff Tiges   

We're a mad loyal lot  .

[rogerd3]

good effort, id be very surprised if we hit the 30,000 mark.

[Stripes]

We'll reach 32,000 standing on our heads. 

Amazing considering where we finished last season. Means the members signing up and long-term loyal types who stick through thick and thin.

Very exciting to imagine our tally when we are making finals consistently

I personally think we will reach the figure of just over 30,000 paid up members.
A successful NAB Cup campaign that sees us reach the semis or beyond and 32 or 33k is not out of the question.
Long term success and 40,000 will be easily attainable.

Nah lets do Hawthorn, lets do a Melbourne 50k members NOW 

 

[Ramps]

i think we'll do 32000 members, our supporters are excited about the recruiting this year with cotchin, rance and morton in particular. a consistant RFC finals team will see us at 40,000-45,000 and a Richmond Premiership side that has potential to repeat the dose will see the tally between 55,000-60,000 paid up members and about 15,000 non ticketeds as well. People think im taking the pee, I will be proven correct with these numbers when those things I mentioned occur.

Yep when we have been continually successful onfield in the (now distant) past the bandwagon grows massive. We were the only club pulling a million supporters to games in the early 70s thanks to our move to the 'G.

This might seem minor, but I think something that will also help raise membership numbers (for all clubs) is the new Pakenham bypass.

Going through Pakenham used to be hell.

It cuts down travel time by about 15-30 minutes and makes it an easy trip into the city and back home.

As of this morning we are currently at 13,568.

The wheels have come off the bandwagon lol. They've topped up again too so it could be back to the bad old days for the Saints if they don't do something in 2008.

The Telstra official sites are crap but the club has been quiet regarding info this preseason. They won't release training times either.

Try emailing or phoning the club. If we all do it they might get the message to finally update the official site since Christmas.

Hi OE,

Not a problem, I am happy to keep you updated. We are currently sitting
on around 14,990 ticketed members.

Kind Regards,
