I think that most people on this board would agree that the club and the membership department have been less than outstanding in their offer to members over quite a period. Add to that a lack of on field success and some contentious decisions off field and it adds up to what we have as far as membership numbers.
I think some people need to realize you can't just flick a switch in one off season and change people's perceptions. Yes, the membership has lifted it's game and the club media department is putting out some great work, but it is going to take time for this to translate to, hopefully a big increase in membership numbers. The club needs to keep up the hard work over the long haul, if we want to start to bridge the gap to Collingwood etc. that have a big headstart in this area.
The increases will come but it will take some time to build momentum and we need to take it one game at a time
We haven't updated our numbers for the second morning in a row.
Going to be hard work enticing the fence-sitters after that horrible NAB loss.
Funny how our NAB loss has been analysed from all quarters yet other clubs' poor performances stand for nothing and excuses made at every call.

This has been the most frustrating part of the last week. Because our game was televised, all sections of the media, plus the football community in general, were all across what happened in the NAB Cup GF whereas only a handful saw what happened to Collingwood down at Kardinia 'what's it called this year' Park & I have barely heard anything about North's 14 goal thrashing at Craigieburn, in a game that was called off early due to inclement weather (we called an intra-club game off a couple of years ago & got absolutely hammered by all & sundry, yet there was barely a murmur about Hawthorn & North taking an early shower due to the weather conditions). No-one raised any concerns about Richmond struggling to shrug off an ordinary Bulldogs team, or St Kilda's loss to an expansion club.
Nowadays a Carlton loss means more to many in the football community than their own team winning. Sad, but true.

Can someone quote this so I can like it again?
There really is no love for Carlton outside of Carlton and I think we've passed the filth as the club everyone loves to kick.
mediumsizered is doing well after shaking of the burden of captaincy. I expect him to recapture his brownlow-winning form of a few years back.
Wait.... It couldn't be...
Juddy????

A bit like politics atm... lots of bad press about Labour and nothing about the Libs. And if there is something about the libs, it's usually a fluff piece.We haven't updated our numbers for the second morning in a row.

The footballing media have their agenda and thats playing to the non-Carlton crowd because that seems to be where they will be making all their money. If there were constant fluff pieces about Carlton through the papers, they wouldnt sell as many copies to the Richmond/Collingwood/Essenscum ferals. Although we all know that they only steal the papers anyway.
If Carlton wasnt the most feared/envied/hated club in the country... then there would be an agenda against someone else and we would be getting lots of fluff pieces about us.

Do they grow back, or are you destined to roam the earth, a shell of your former self?

I do have a soul... Sort of... I mortgaged it back a few years ago... But I'm a couple of payments late
Pretty sure you can. I think you go to the Membership tent before the game to get a pass. Probably worth ringing the Club to check though.
40,934 as at 25th March.
