2014 Membership Tally - Final Tally - *47,557

Still waiting for my membership pack

Having been a "long distance member" for over 10 years I've found the membership pack is slow to arrive. My son is a Bulldogs member and always receives his pack before I do. This year the Carlton 2014 Season Guide book and fixture fridge magnet didn't arrive until Round 2. Not good enough!

Its much easier to get membership packs out on time when your club only has 5 members.

As expected, the numbers have dried up badly.

Mrs Pratt will buy her truckload soon and we'll hit 50k

No picking on Mrs Pratt

It's hard to justify signing up for 1 game as a WA supporter.

Footy is a luxury.

Quite a few closet Carlton supporters out there as well. Carlton don't really demand too much respect anymore.

Btw where are our membership tv ad's? Carlton's 150th and no ads on fox footy trying to capitalize on that?

Hawks have their ad on during every ad break.

Good points. Maybe they should offer a 2 game membership pass for Western Australian supporters? It is a four-five hour flight, so it isn't as if Western Australians have a regular opportunity to cross the Nullabor. This is about adapting to what will get the punters in.

One game pass for the match in WA and one just in case you go to Victoria.

WA is popular with Carlton supporters. It is something they should tap into.

Really, I'd love to talk to anyone whose membership purchase was even influenced by a TV commercial.

Why does that matter? We want them to sign up, we don't need to know or care why they do.

way to completely miss the point of my post

Way to completely make an irrelevant point.

Not going to happen. They showed their contempt for South Australian members when they "didn't have time to organise" a function before the Power match here last year. Even though it is meant to be part of the long distance memberships.

Anyone got any member stickers they aren't using? Had a minor car accident so need to get a new car and the club won't send me out a new sticker sheet cos they have 'limited stock'.
Thanks guys

that's pretty poor on the clubs behalf, they would have bought or planned for 60k and we are still 15k off that

 

[Jeremias]

Limited stock? Give me a ****ing break.

How dumb does the club think it's members are, exactly?

 

[Weiterbot23]

Carlton has one of the largest fan bases of any AFL club yet our membership number lags behind the big 4 Melbourne clubs (Pies, Hawks, Tigers, Bombers). As Professor Julius Sumner Miller used to ask: Why is it so? What does the club need to do to get more fans to sign up??

Maybe if you got your son to follow Carlton instead of the bulldogs we'd have more members

One of my friends got me a pack of "Carlton family" stickers that you're MORE than welcome to!

 

[NavyBlue8]

Very disappointed in the club.

Kruzering, sadly no accounting for taste in things like footy. My son has played 10 seasons for the local Bulldogs/Hawks side and I can (admittedly frustratingly) understand why he wants to support the Doggies!

I'm not. I just don't like that we only reached 50k last year because she topped it up

Are you ****ing serious? How much are you spending on a membership - $200 + probably. And they can't replace a 5 cent sticker. Let me have a look around. ****ing unbelievable.

I'm missing something. Poster asked how come there were no membership ads around this season. I suggested they would have little or no influence in a person's decision to purchase a membership. You went all turd-burger on that.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Gee whiz, I haven't seen or heard the word turdburger since Beavis and Butthead.
