8000 Members for the Raiders in 2011
9/03/2011 4:08:37 PM
Its a monumental day for the Canberra Raiders today, with confirmation that theyve reached their target of 8000 members for the new NRL season.
The record set last year of just over 6000 members has been smashed this campaign, with fans of the club joining up in droves to be a part of the new season.
With just four days to go until kick-off against the Sharks at Canberra Stadium the club is now looking to smash past the 8000 mark and sign up as many last minute members as they can ahead of the season.
Raiders CEO Don Furner said the target of 8000 members in 2011 looked a tough one to reach just a few short months ago, but applauded the 8000 members who have signed up and said he hoped they were excited about what lies ahead in 2011.
If you would have asked me in 2006 when we started to push memberships that wed have 8000 by the start of 2011 wed have been very happy and were very happy to announce today that weve reached the target, Furner said. Hopefully in 2012 we can push through the 10,000 barrier.
