2011 Memberships

[RWB]

To the one who defended Souths having a "good average" and saying if they made the top four their average would increase... the Bulldogs with a smaller membership base than Souths, averaged over 20,000 last year. They finished 13th.

They would see their biggest increase the following year though... you didn't exactly use the greatest example. Just like the 'dogs will probably decrease on the back of '10 unless they can find some from early and even then you wouldn't expect much of an increase if at all.

LOL Going into enemy territory on the week they're trying to sign members for the "Battle Of The West". Let's hope we can turn a few supporters of the scum into Bulldog fans

 

[Von]

Battle of the West is going sh*t,looks like none of the clubs will get nowhere near 1000

If that is the case on Friday arvo, Cronulla will be the overall winner!
What an upset it would be!!!

Easts & Manly 2nd and 3rd

Who would have thought?

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

I believe what he's referring to is the fact that Souths have an unusually large chunk of non-ticketed memberships.

They can brag all they like about being in front of clubs like Saints and Brisbane, but next time ticketed figures are released, one gets the feeling that both will be in front on ticketed memberships, and Souths will be well behind... despite them leading the "total" count.

:lol::lol:

[BDGS]

Dogs at 11,409 total.

 

[Timmah]

:lol::lol:

Quality response.

This might be wrong... but I'm sure Canterbury/Souths/Saints had heaps more by Wednesday morning?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Eels memberships have slowed down badly,for about 2 or so months there they were a mile in front of the Bulldogs and now they are 1400 odd behind them

 

[BDGS]

Timmah, You are comparing 3 teams that can pull fans/members with relatively ease in the dogs/saints/souths with 3 teams that 2 struggle to pull members in Tigers and Panthers?

That is not a far comparison in my books and probably the reason the NRL made the groups they did, to keep it close!

 

[Timmah]

I was looking at it from the perspective of it's western Sydney, supposed RL heartland.

 

[Billythekid]

I think a few people have misunderstood what I'm saying. I'm not having a dig at Souths per se, because it's fantastic for them to have so many members. I'm simply suggesting ticketed memberships hold greater importance as they equal bums on seats. Bums on seats then equals merchandise and F&B purchases, and therefore increased revenue to the club.

This goes for every club, but I mention Souths specifically as they appear to have the greatest proportion of non-ticketed members.

Yes i think we all recognise that non ticketed memberships aren't quite as good but they still bring in a bit of money. I'm sure when you sign up an extra 6-7K non-ticketed members like souths have it works out to be quite a bit of money.

Its even better when you consider the price of their memberships.

To the one who defended Souths having a "good average" and saying if they made the top four their average would increase... the Bulldogs with a smaller membership base than Souths, averaged over 20,000 last year. They finished 13th.

Yes thats one year. Souths have been sh*t for 20 years and have been kicked out the comp in that period. The dogs have won a premiership in the last 10 years.

Also its not like the rabbits were very good last year either.

Fair enough, they probably also have the poorest supporters in the country .. except perhaps NQ fans.

Parramatta membership is also membership of the football club with voting rights.

It is up from a few hundred a few years back and resulted in the recent new board. The initial recruitment was started in this forum

Pretty sure our push came after the new football club board was voted in. Im sure we only really started pushing early 09.

I know that the old football club membership was hard to get. It was almost secret and only those who were friendly with the board could get in. One forumer on here (wont mention who) was awesome enough to hand out signed membership forms to us all on request. I honestly believe that because of that person, we would not have been able to vote out the old football club board.

Yeah, the god knows how many thousands of people associated with the mines, sugar cane, beef and defence force up here are doing it real tough at the moment........... Clown.

 

[PaulyTom]

The way football clubs look at it is if they sign some one as a non-ticketed member for say $30 bucks, there is a fair chance they will attend at least one game and then they will probably buy some merchandise. Lets face it the NRL product is attractive and addictive. So once you add the membership $30 + a jersey $150 + a scarf $30 = $210.

It would be interesting to see the stat of how many non ticketed fans turn into fully ticketed members? The other interesting stat is how many non-ticketed members are regional members, international members who have very little chance of attending games.

yep - that's how I managed to join up
Thankfully, as you say, the new board is now actively encouraging football club membership (though you have to pay $75 and get a bunch of crap)

It wasn't a dig mate, i was referring to the recent natural disasters that has effected the Cowboys membership numbers.

Don't be so quick to get on the defensive. Jesus.
