2010 Memberships

[dimitri]

Do you Bulldogs guys know what the 08 membership numbers for the Bulldogs were?

Just curious if 09 was lower or higher based on the bad year they had in 08.

From memory I think in 2008 the Bulldogs were at 4069

Correct, in 2008 it was just over 4,000. The club has done really well in the last 2 yrs to push memberships and make them affordable.

We are at 6,240 now and only a few hundred off our 2009 total, i think we are a chance at cracking the 10k mark which will be awesome.

Dragons are on 3400. They seem to be updating about once a week. It would be nice for it to be updated each day like some other clubs but obviously they are too busy.

Bulldogs are now at 6321!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im fairly certain they are getting pretty close to their number for last year!!!

Surely 7000 by Xmas isnt out of the question

Is this season ticket holders only or actual club members (i.e 3 game passes etc?)

Depends which figures you are talking about

The NRL ones are season ticket memberships only, but some clubs eg I think the Bulldogs, are counting all memberships (ie also 1 and 2 match pass memberships)

Update from NRL.com:
http://www.nrl.com/newsviews/latest...ovements-in-membership-challenge/default.aspx

The Bulldogs, Dragons and Warriors have all been the big movers in the second week of the NRL Membership Challenge, each signing up over 900 new ticketed members since last week.

The Bulldogs and Dragons, who were both late starters to the 2010 Membership game, have enjoyed unprecedented demand in the lead up to Christmas, and are not only well placed to beat their 2009 Ticketed Membership totals, but also are well in the hunt for the race to 10,000 between all the NSW clubs.

South Sydney moved into the top two, overtaking the Cowboys, with a steady week of growth, whilst the Knights and Sharks are closing in on their 2009 totals already.

Note: These figures only include Ticketed Club Membership figures for the sixteen Telstra Premiership clubs. They are not reflective of the total Membership Numbers of the clubs. Ticketed membership figures are correct as of Thursday, December 17.

The next update will be in Mid-January 2010

and apparently we have pretty 'fair weathered' fans according to Sharko, we had the 2nd highest this year following possibly one of our worst seasons in 14 years (2008)..............

I would have thought a place like Newy would have had higher figures at the moment to be honest. Pretty league mad joint old Newy.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

im guessing thats full season ticket holders

I wouldn't take much notice mate. Most league supporters know how FNQ loves their footy! Some of the most loyal supporters in the competition.

 

[DINGb@T]

Wow, I knew the Sharks had it bad but 2000 season ticket holders is rediculous. How do they pay up to the salary cap each year? It's 4 or 5 times less than the teams at the top of the ladder and HALF those of the teams just a few places above them!

Look at Souths go, I think they may actually reach 10K first, good stuff.

I spent a weekend up near Newcastle with a couple of mates a few months ago, they werent so into League or sport in general, but they had the idea of going to this popular pub to have dinner....it was a Saturday night. I said to them that it might be busy because of the footy and they said it shouldnt be too bad. It was effing packed full of footy fans.

Mal Riley said that he has never seen a more League mad town then Newcastle and I have to agree after what I have seen the few times iv been there. Although, iv never been to Townsville specifically, or Brisbane for football reasons, Qld seems pretty strong with their support, but I do feel it could be a hell of alot stronger, they seem more interested in Origin actually.

Actually, if you look at this weeks numbers compared to last week, you'll see that Souths have only added 200 members since last Friday, Parra just 300, while the 'Dogs have had an incredible 900 (closer to 1000 after todays additions) sign on since last Friday's figures.

The next update won't be until mid-January according to the latest article but I think the race is wide open, especially with how affordable ours are.

 

[slammingsam]

Oh why would you be able to see any positivity in another clubs work ?

 

[Timmah]

I just disagreed with an assumption from someone else based on the latest numbers.

I think the biggest mover and a massive dark horse are the Dragons, from 1,965 up to 3,805 in a week... almost 2,000 new members.

"This sh*t" is the key to the game getting it's sh*t in to gear.

Well, if the Bulldogs should happen to win, I certainly hope there is an audit. :sarcasm:
