There is an updated list in today's Daily Telegraph for "Ticketed Members".
The Dragons are ahead of all other clubs, and a fair margin ahead of all other Sydney Clubs.

Rabbits and Dogs are pretty close for 2nd and 3rd in Sydney.
Broncos are 2nd overall behind the Dragons.

That's incredible, 6k of the Rabbitohs 19k are non-ticketed, compared with just 1.5k of the 'Dogs 13.5k.

There's only 300 difference between the Rabbitohs and 'Dogs ticketed membership.

Say what?

The discrepancy brings a lot of questions. No other club has so many non-ticketed members.

No other club has taken as much advantage of this financial route. Not all fans can make it to the ground for one of a million reasons. Yet we've still managed to get 6000+ people forking out their hard earned to support the club for essentially nothing in return. I bet a few of the cashstrapped clubs wish they had that kind of support.

And let's not forget we have 13k+ ticketed and 6k+ ticketed after three years out of the finals. No other club would come even close to that kind of support after 3 years like ours. The only other clubs that seems to be able to keep solid support after bad years are the Broncos and Dogs.

I won't ever read that rag so can someone post these figures?

Are you suggesting we should congratulate the bunnies on missing the finals now?

Support and membership are really two different things. You enjoy high membership, the actual support (i.e. at the ground) isn't anywhere near as high. Your minimum crowd really should be 19k.

So people who buy memberships do not support the club? :crazy:

"Support" is defined as whatever suits Timmah.

The membership numbers mean we have the most fans, they just happen to be more widespread.

And I repeat, this is our floor. Wait until we start winning consistently (hopefully that started last weekend) our crowds will be well into the 20 thousands.

All it tells me is that the bunnies are doing a great job of selling non ticketed memberships. Not only that but the bunnies are selling all these memberships and season tickets at quite a premium as well. I'd say they are making a lot more money than the dogs are from memberships.

I think they are doing quite well with their crowds considering how long their team has been crap for.

Fair enough they aren't doing as well as the dogs in that regard but so what? The dogs are leading the way in terms of Sydney crowds so being behind them isn't that big of a deal.

I dare say with some decent form souths could potentially average higher than any other sydney club anyway.

I think its ridiculous trying to downplay souths achievements. They are one of the leading clubs in terms of memberships and it would be great if a lot of other clubs could follow suit. Maybe its because i don't support either club that i don't need to get involved in this d*ck waving BS.

I'm also of the thought how could anyone possibly bag another team no matter how much you dislike them for posting impressive membership numbers? First he was whingeing about the Rabbits member numbers to crowd numbers ratio and now it's ticketed members to non ticketed members ratio. Could you get any more petty? :lol:

Tim likes to pick and choose when it's ok to bag particular clubs on any given category when it suits him, when it doesn't suit him he's the first to ridicule the person doing the bagging and let them know all about how wrong they are. Massively hypocritical behaviour from Tim Tam but it's come to be expected of him all the same.
