2020 Membership

Double

not the pointless insult you threw, even though it was wrong

I am not sure about throwing the gates open. But I have read about college football programs that reduced prices down enough to get massive crowds so they could build the atmosphere and game day experience, get the crowds hooked, and then gradually increase prices. I know that happened at Michigan. Michigan get I would imagine the biggest crowds in world sport.

I wonder if it would be a good investment by the NRL to say to clubs "ok we are going to give you $1million a year grant extra and we want you to slash your gate and ticketed membership prices by a third and make kids free". They could try it for the life cycle of a TV deal then review to see if it made a significant difference to attendances.

Also the current model of sponsorship is dumb. Both from many sponsors and the clubs themselves

the idea of sponsorship should be to sell more of your products on the back of being associated with a club.

Most sponsors are so stupid they treat it as a tax write off and an excuse for a piss up.
It’s not the 80s anymore

Newest update still has four clubs yet to report figures for 2020. Those four clubs' 2019 figures still show on the NRL.com membership page and in the Tigers' case, their own site.

Why aren’t some clubs sharing? Too hard? They don’t know?

Embarrassment?

Surprised Bulldogs is down. 2019 was fairly encouraging, they seem to be pointing in the right direction if not quite there yet.
impending stadium move having an effect?

Cowboys also weird numbers.

Raiders Roosters benefiting from success, and Eels and Manly fans back on the bandwagon.

Warriors and Dragons fan confidence at an all time low so not surprising to see their numbers fall.

Tigers 20k+ according to nrl.com



Edit: Lol nvm that’s just the figure from last year...

I think that Dogs number is going to have a bit of a jump. I renewed during the Xmas break and have heard nothing back yet from them so they still might be on holidays or processing the backlog this week. The Dogs membership team leaves a lot to be desired to be honest so it’s not a surprise with the numbers.

Just got an email confirming member packs are being posted - which seems later than last year by a fair margin. Think it's all happened very slowly at Belmore this year.

Apologies for not reading every single post

I got a members email not long ago asking about renewal, and that was the exact figure they put there too. Our marketing team is just inept

Your clubs not alone in that!

Your free GA membership for kids with every GA adult membership is a great initiative and I reckon will be very popular

Is this an actual figure or to be verified at a later date?

I get the sense that since the NRL failed to reach its strategic plan target amount for memberships they've decided to stop trying. Used to be they had comps for clubs and bigged it up, made clubs release figures in a timely fashion etc, now it barely rates any mention out of NRLHQ.

Dammit, I made the bot overcorrect by calling it out
