7:20pm start, perhaps an extra 10mins for a beverage stop on the way to your seats?

Exactly. The only measure is whether the GWS can become competitive in all facets of the game on and off the field.i.e. be successful.

Members scarf arrived at the front doorstep today. Nice enough - and very very orange - but what I'm really waiting for is a traditional-style scarf: orange and black stripes with white GIANTS text on the black.
...at least, I hope there's one of them going to be made!

Re: 2012 Membership - 4,400 [at 2/2]
Was wondering if there has been any specific data come out about which areas the GWS members are coming from in Sydney? Ie Blacktown/ Homebush or other areas are showing a higher signup rate.
Wish the GWS all the best this year, we recently had Kevin Sheedy and the guys from Skoda run a Training session here in Prague. The blokes loved Sheedy great down to earth person who truly loves his footy.

Re: 2012 Membership - 4,400 [at 2/2]
The only info I've seen the club release was on last year's figures, which was about a 50/50 Canberra/non-Canberra split. I figure that'll probably continue this year.

I'd say the next two big opportunities to increase memberships (or 'spikes'), which have no doubt been identified by the club, are the NAB Cup at Blacktown this Saturday and then the season opener against the Swans at Homebush.

Re: 2012 Membership - 4,635 [at 14/2]
Does anybody know the figures of what the rugby league clubs which are located in Western Sydney were in regards to total memberships for 2011.
I'm hoping people in that area of Sydney really jump on and support the Giants and send a message to the NRL.

Re: 2012 Membership - 4,635 [at 14/2]
Not sure why the Giants need to 'send a message' to the NRL. Their job is to win games and give their all for whoever chooses to support them. Win games, win respect, stand for excellence and the rest will follow.
The Melbourne Storm have meager attendances and membership in comparison to Victorian AFL clubs. But they are an important part of the NRLs footprint and a respected part of Melbourne's sporting fabric. I bet the AFL would be wrapped if GWS had a similar foothold in their market a decade from now.
Most people on this forum seem pessimistic and downright hostile to the Giants. I'm far less cynical. GWS have done a lot of things right and they will be a successful club in a relatively short time span (even the bad news Brisbane Bears were playing finals football within 8 years.)
History tells us that expansion clubs naturally take time to gel. The Dallas Cowboys were an expansion side once upon a time. In their first year they won no games, had one tie, and averaged home crowds of less than 5000.
Success changes everything.

Re: 2012 Membership - 4,635 [at 14/2]
Must've ticked over the 5,000 mark last night, because we're currently at 5,193. Not too bad as I'd expect an increase in the lead up to Round 1.

They must've had a bunch of memberships waiting to be processed, because it's been ticking along at approx. 40/day but then jumped by over 500 overnight?!

Re: Membership Packs / Seat Allocations
I think the club may have changed their plan or something's come up, because the email last week for the Round 1 game said:
I'm not too stressed, as it's not of any use until the start of the season.

Re: Membership Packs / Seat Allocations
Yeah, as I said I'm guessing there's some crossed wires and it might be that they weren't posted out then. You could always give the club a call and double check.

Re: Membership Packs / Seat Allocations
Got mine today. REALLY like the fixture fridge magnet. It's great. Membership card design is a bit basic, but there's an acknowledgement that I'm a foundation member that I like.
Victorian Giant so no idea of seat allocations.

I haven't got my membership either. Foundation members should get some kind of priority.
