Cousins boosts membership sales

THE BEN Cousins factor is continuing to give Richmond's membership drive an enormous boost.

The club's membership figures have surged since signing the former West Coast skipper in last month's pre-season draft.

"Our membership is at least 4000 up on this time last year and we do attribute quite a lot of this added interest in the club to the signing of Ben Cousins last month," Richmond's commercial operations manager Hamish McKenzie said on Friday.

The Tigers have signed up more than 17,000 matchday members, as well as almost 4000 non-matchday members.

Cousins has won the Tigers plenty of new interest from Western Australia, with Richmond "inundated with messages of support and membership enquiries" from that state.

The 30-year-old, who is attempting to overcome drug addiction, won four best and fairest awards and the 2005 Brownlow Medal with the Eagles, before being sacked by the club at the end of 2007 then suspended by the AFL for the 2008 season.

So just taking a very generalised average of $100 per membership we can already see a tangible benefit of ~$400k to the club.  Wonder how Eddie is viewing his $8m loss now?

ah the Pied Piper is very good at covering his ass, and those gullible pies supporters hang on his every word...laughable

[3rogerd]

i have 5 mates who have just signed on as members and are coming over to watch a couple of matches this coming year, and they are dyed in the wool  eagles supporters.

so im gonna have some nasty weekends this year...oh the hangovers.

[mightytiges]

LOL smokey. We should send Eddie a letter of thanks  .

Cuz is on what $150k? We've already made $250k profit just by drafting him. Maybe we should stick "Cousins" on the back of our guernsey lol.

We had 14,990 ticketed members on Jan 16 last year so with a week still to go this year 3-4,000 ahead would be about right. Great stuff RFC    .

Had a day off from work today

Went down to Punt Rd and signed up with the GF package.

Now for the Tiges to get there in 09.

You've got to love the extra media exposure as well

Just pointing out that even without Ben Cousins we would be seeing an improvement on last year anyway. In 2007 we were 16th and sold 39,000 memberships on the back of that. Last year we were 9th and uncovered TC who is the best teen in the game. Even without Ben we would be up and frankly given that improvement and the Cuz bounce we should be able to hit 45,000 ( matchday and unticketed combined). I'll be disappoited if we don't add at least 4,000.

[bushranger]

That would sound about right to as most supporter would have noticed that we were making inroads in the ladder position.
So they would of mort than likely joined up but Ben was a bonus.

The Hawk surge is predictable but we have to admit that the Essendon figure is superb. They have had 4 poor seasons and have no real hype yeat are comfortably ahead of both us and the Magpies.

I don't like Essendon. The corporate bland catch all club that they are but that figure is impressive

I think I read somewhere that Essendon have a smart method of renewal like a 'continuous' membership with direct debits every month and the membership is automatically renewed unless you advise the club otherwise.  They would pick up many silent or apathetic members this way by not needing to rely on them getting off their bums and physically renewing each year.  I'm not sure if our 'pay by installments' membership does this now?

Ours is the same smokey, you only have to let them know if there are any changes, otherwise it just rolls over
