Sharks Crack 3000 Member Milestone
http://www.sharks.com.au/default.aspx?s=article-display&id=22178&sharks-crack-3000-member-milestone
At this very point in time last year, the Cronulla Sharks had 1584 Football Club Members signed up. Now, in what is a true sign that the Club is moving forward and looking to re-engage with the community, the black, white and blue have cracked the 3000-mark.
With only six weeks left until the Sharks round one blockbuster against defending premiers, Melbourne Storm, the Club is in a very promising position.
So what makes this pre-season milestone so admirable?
YOU, our Members.
You only have to look at five-year-old Max Mitevski who signed up as a Covs Kids Club Member- our youngest ever. His father Tony has been a life member and true supporter of the Sharks for over 20 years, and as soon as the news filtered through that he was having a baby boy, he headed straight down to Sharkies Leagues Club and filled out the paperwork.
Distance and location hasnt stopped a massive chunk of our Members signing up either. In particular, Joel Harkham, a massive Sharks supporter based in Beverley Hills in the USA, who holds an astonishing 14-ticketed season seats.
And of course, there is the CSSC, our most fanatical group who travel everywhere with the team and have increased their support clan dramatically for season 2010.
Like these people, when you join the Sharks, you grow fonder of the Cub for reasons sometimes you just cant explain. Sometimes our greatest victories havent come with the accolades of winning, but we always bust our guts until the final whistle blows.
So we put it to you- our Members the Sharks. You are what define our team. The special breed who for so long have been waiting for the elusive silverware - loyal, dedicated, motivated and patient.
Along with the undoubtedly passionate coaching staff and players, combined with our new administration and new recruits- Sharks fans should be licking their lips with whats staring them in the face. Forget the past, lets move forward.
For some of us, the Sharks have been a part of our lives since day dot. For others, the journeys only just begun. But you all represent a special something that has long been an integral part of both the Cronulla Sharks and Sutherland Shire.
So ask yourself
are your family Members? Are your mates Members? Are neighbours Members? And if the answer is a sluggish no then sign them up! Ask them to become a part of YOUR team now
because the future begins with you!
