I reckon if other clubs put their football club membership figures into their total membership count, they'd give Souths a run for their money...

Everyone counts the same way. Other clubs wouldnt willingly give us the publicity of being the "biggest membership club" if they didn't have to.

ive heard from several people thats not TRUE

eg - Bulldogs have a further 2k Football Club voting members which Pay approx $15 a year for Voting rights. - This isnt even in their 'Membership' brochure - as you need to be referred by an existing member etc

Well we don't count that kind of member either. I said "all the clubs count the same way" and they do.

The membership race has never been about $15 voting rights members, no use trying to move the goalposts to try and make it sound like we're not the biggest in terms of members.

What evidence can you provide that you don't count that kind of member Bunniesman?

To answer your question, I would presume the NRL knows what it's getting when it gets the numbers from each club and that they wouldn't compare two different things.

I think a more relevant point is maybe other clubs need to uncomplicate their membership structure.

Souths' memberships are very straightforward:

1. Non-Ticketed Membership (Supporter, International & WA Memberships - starting from $85 for adults)
2. Ticketed Membership (Reserved, General Admission or Regional - starting from $150 for adults)

All members are members of South Sydney Member Co (i.e. our 25% share in the football club). Hold any form of membership for 3 consecutive years and you have voting rights.

Simple.

its not that simple

now explain to us - much a vote iws actually worth, explain what % the member co. owns of the rabbitohs as opposed to the private owners etc etc
