Club Mgmt. 2016 Essendon Membership Thread - Final count - 57,494!

[Shane Hird]

50,332

It's pretty amazing figures really.. considering.

 

[CourtzMajora]

Agreed, the fact we've made it over 50,000 is impressive!

 

[daffo]

Push to 60....

Push to 60....

I think to push for 60000 is going to be a struggle.
I'm realistically thinking 55000 is more achievable.
A lot is going to depend on how we fare on the field in the first few rounds.
If we struggle, it will only deter people from signing up IMO
Play well and who knows really.

Buying a membership is about being a part of the club, getting behind the club, and potentially attending games, so we really only have to sell 'being a part of the club'. It doesn't have to be finals aspirations - it could just be getting behind us in our time of need, as we build up the skills and experience of our youth, and develop a team that will be successful in a couple of years (according to our five year plan anyway). A good salesman can sell ice to eskimos, and I don't think its quite so difficult as that!

I'd be curious to see last years' membership numbers graphed with different events marked on it so you can see that it spiked after a win or after the tribunal verdict or the WADA appeal or whatever.

New slogan easy to modify for PR purposes. "Make a Stand Against Bullying". Apparently we've been supporting an educational program involving a musical that will run at 50 schools in the north west.

Does seem to have slowed down considerably.

Hopefully the win on Saturday lights a fire under the tally's arse.

 

[CourtzMajora]

Well looking at last years stats we are still ahead

Would be pretty stoked if we got over 55K!

 

[eth-dog]

52,036

Imagine if we win on ANZAC Day. That number will rise up beyond 55k that week.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

52,739 - still ahead of last year at the same time.

I knew it.

They are starting their reunion world tour in Perth apparently. Good as any other backwater joint to blow the cobwebs out I guess.

 

[Bombermania]

We should expect 55k, anything less should be seen as disappointing.

I'm living in a horror world where Boy George has taken back some ancillary degree of relevance by being a judge on The Voice. The UK have no idea how to handle celebrities at all, they just don't have a "discard" button.

What venue would hold 55k in Perth? Culture Club would be happy.

Well I had Shawshank on the mind, so you will accept my segway like a good boy.
