Official Club Stuff 2017 Membership Tally

[JayJ20]

Essendon break their all time record with 61,343

 

[Tassieboy]

Richmond were 14,784 ahead of Essendon in 2016. They are 5,017 ahead this year. Historically (probably via 'junk' 3 game memberships) Essendon have had stronger membership growth after the inception of the season than Richmond (in 2012-15 the Essendon's increased by 7-11k from now), so it's possible that this gap could close to within 3,000.

Bombers could easily get close to 70k if they have a few good wins early on

Sad to see the Blues falling of the cliff - need a big name signing off season

need not to treat members and supporters like imbeciles by constantly showing up for their sole traditional home game like a bunch on no talent vagabonds. Casual supporters are fed up with the long term plans and potential and feel good bullshit. Its been 15 years since the salary cap crap went down, and for the most part we are still rank amateurs.

Dogs 39,276, should be well over 40k after last night's busy members stand.

Yeah cos we've been so bad in the first 2 months of every season for years. Hardly sell once the season starts if you win 2 of the first 8 usually. Winning does a lot. Think we're on about 67k now.

Port at 56,039 announced yesterday but not up on the scoreboard on the website. 54,400ish on 22nd March so the win against Sydney was worth over 1,000 signing up in run up to first home game. About, 2,200 behind same time last year.

Perhaps Essendon should have used a photo of a Essendon great doing the old Teddy Whitten - 'lets stick it right up them' in reference to the AFL or ASADA for their bumper stickers.

BTW googling that phrase gives you some interesting sites

Ha ha.... I think the key point is that many Essendon supporters are coming back to the club this year.. Coteries are at record levels as we'll. Membership will likely surpass 65,000 at higher yield than last year so this will translate well in the P&L. I think there's another level again as performances start to look more like premiership / top 4 potential again.

History was made today when the Western Bulldogs membership soared past 40,000, four months ahead of the date it reached the milestone mark for the first time last year.

A count today revealed the total membership as 40,736 and climbing - a new club record, surpassing last year's previous high of 40,082.

That's over 9,000 more than at the same time 2016 (31,595 on April 5th) - an increase of 29 per cent - and in excess of 14,000 more than 2015's comparative figure (26,625 on April 6th), a two-year increase of 53 per cent.

The 2017 season has seen all membership products with a Grand Final guarantee sold out (EJ Whitten Social Club, Charles Sutton Premiership Circle, Top Dogs, Player Sponsors), and a 29 per cent increase on 2016 for reserved seats.

This year has also seen an increase of more than 60 per cent in new members joining the pack.

Great work by the Bullies supporters. Lets hope they nudge the 45,000 mark

 

[pOleK]

Lions reaching 20,688. Hoping if we can string a few wins maybe lure a few bandwagoners and maybe push for 23/24k.

 

[PiesFan33]

Pies at about 67,000. Herald Sun requested a figure this week

Last couple of years it seems to be the MO not to release data, which is a bit weird.

Could be a tired lot and maybe we need a change.

GWS memberships to go to the Grand final? hmmm ... only thing is the last thing I want to see is GWS winning a Grandfinal. Watching any one of the 17 other teams beat them in a Grand final would be awsome i guess

 

[Wandering Hawk]

Any news on how the Suns are tracking after their decent wins?

Good effort by the Bullies but 45,000 may be a streach.
