Resource 2022 NMFC Membership thread - Final Tally: 50,191

[Hearts to hearts]

I reckon we can surpass Bulldog's membership next year. They have had an average season and we'll be riding high with clarko's announcement.
Will be adding +1 more next year for our newborn

Congratulations.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I went to all the games this year. The psychological trauma was excruciating but I ain't letting my membership go to waste.

Same. AFL club member so at least get H&A access but with all the interstate trips I’ve tried not to think about it the cost per game too much.

Looking forward to seeing more at the ground - and hopefully some better timeslots - as we grow membership numbers.

Clarkson referred to the I was there moments.

The Melbourne game was an I was there moment.

If you are a North supporter and you were in that 13k people you are hardcore.

Staring at what could have been a 100 point thrashing and rocking up anyway it is dedication.

 

[bengrina]

Fantastic number considering the year we have had. As others have mentioned though, we need to start to translate this into increased crowd numbers. I'm confident that with improvement on field we will see this . I remember a game against freo in 2013 or 14 after we had won 8 or 9 straight we managed to get over 28,000 to a game.

I took my 9 year old along to that game specifically for this reason. I reminded him that we will be able to say we were there supporting our club through the tough times

Rocked up anyway because I love the club.

It was actually one of the better Noble era performances.

Melbourne's general lame form slump was in full swing and despite our forward half deficiencies, looked a bit more cohesive.

Of course, it was all short-lived and I was waiting for the moment that we were spent and Melbourne (much fitter and better drilled at every facet) running away with the game.

Should go past the Dogs next year and maybe even Swans and Dockers. Port and the Saints the following year or two.

Yeah this is why I tell people we really do have more overall supporters than the dogs. They played in a GF, we won 2 games and 2x spoons. No FTA TV coverage. Yet they could only muster 800 more members.

Once we start winning it won't even be close. The "smallest Melbourne club" narrative/stigma attributed to us won't have anything to stand on. There's more out there, just gotta win more. The Dogs and Melbourne have shown their membership ceiling, we are yet to. Will probably overtake St Kilda too

 

[Mr north man]

Now that the final total of membership for 2022 is 50,191 can the club now be brave and put the numbers out for each category of membership as I believe our Reserve Ticket Holders -which I’m one and proud to be one is the 2nd lowest in the club membership with the Cheer Squad being the lowest up a Basic membership and 3 game membership being the highest categories of membership at our club.
As a club we need to convince more members to become Reserved Ticket Holders on Level 1 and 2 as it makes me sick seeing opposition supporters sitting in our areas.
We need token gestures and fair whether supporters to get off the arses and attend games.
If the supporters at this club are legit start attending games and if we start to get 30k+ to home games.

It's too expensive mate.
Also a lot of members get signed up in January when they have the specials.

 

[Engimal v3]

Does this 50k have a game threshold? E.g. 3 games+ to be counted, or something?

 

[Engimal v3]

Also, are North the only club where a GA membership can net you a seat behind the goals? I'm pretty sure most clubs have their GA members stuck up on L3.

I want to see us cement a spot where we consistently have more members than Westerns and Saints and are out of the map.

The best decision I have made was to upgrade my ticket to premiership club! Feels like a big family when I see anth stevo and stuff walk around!

 

[leighlee13]

I called the club yesterday to ask where I could find the benefits of continuous years of membership. It used to be on the website and gave you access to GF tickets. Its not there anymore. I spoke to a lovely guy Liam in Memberships and he said they are looking at this. I hope they don't change the rules as I was guaranteed a GF ticket should we make it. Anyone have info on what was on the website. Thanks

 

[tazaa]

Home and Home & Away members are what matters.
That would determine our rough attendance figures.

Yep.

Those who don’t live in Victoria and pay up at any level deserve a tip of the cap also.

But 11-match (7 in our case LOL) members are the key growth section.

 

[Quivorir]

**** off we're full up in the premiership club. Lines for beer are long enough.

Thought I'd look at our membership numbers over a 5 year period. Considering it's been about the worst 5 years you could imagine our increase in membership is impressive. Ranked as in increase in raw numbers we are 7th.

Doing this in another 12 months I hope to see a real jump.

I still feel shitty about the 7 home games.

They have been too far apart during the season. Going 4 games to Tassie messes with the hype fans get after a home game win. It kills the vibe if the next match is in Tassie.
