2011 Memberships

[AlwaysGreen]

Anyone notice how the spirit of this topic is so cool? Everyone is rooting for their team, but at the same time for every other as well.. congratulating opponents if their club does well..

Coming from a country with predominantly soccer culture, it's really good to see.

It is good to see. I hope Souths get to 20000 members, I hope Cronulla double their membership and I hope Canberra increase their membership base every year. The more people support our code the stronger it gets.

Well if at some point Balmain can no longer contribute to the merger financially then the Wests can become a standalone club.

I would suggest the 75% of people that support the Wests Tigers that are ex Balmain supporters would be a huge contribution. Good luck losing all them.

What a silly comment.

 

[Dragon Dave]

Saints over 14k.

 

[Lossy]

Pretty good effort for club with no team.

I'd say the trade off is pretty fair.

For sure. I would have refrained from being a smartarse had I read about it in the CCB propaganda/fantasy thread. I presumed - perhaps incorrectly - this one was for real teams.

Back on topic:

Good work Dragons.

 

[Lambretta]

If at all.....anyone got an idea on how many SFS members there actually are?

Not sure, but the average gold member attendance at Roosters games is usually between 500 & 2 thousand for regular games and anything up to 3 thousand for the big finals games.

It must be noted that a percentage up to about 25% for big games would be there supporting the opposition but they are predominantly Roosters fans.

Look at their crowds and things before the merger. Balmain was no bigger than Wests. And where is Sydney growing? It's not growing in the inner city. It's growing in the West. That's Wests Tigers key to their future, capturing their share of the growth in the West. They can do that with or without Balmain.

Yeeeeeeah. Where were you during the 90's? I was in Sydney watching Rugby League games.

Balmain fans used to turn up in large numbers to away games and have always been well supported. Wests, not so much.

However, it's a moot point. Wests Tigers are here to stay and are well supported by both sets of fans.

You are a gormless spastic.

Simple reality is that Wests Tigers as of this season is due to record a profit even after excluding Leagues club funding. Wests are limited in what they contribute as it is equal to the Balmain contribution. No more.

Also Wests Ashfield supply money to Wests Tigers. Wests Campbelltown provide absolutley zero dollars. All of the funding from the Leagues clubs grants is reliant on the Inner West.

Finally the Joint Venture charter states that if one club of the founding joint venture were to fold financially that the WT would continue until ecconomically unfeesable at which point neither the Magpies nor the Tigers would have rights to the NRL license

Clubs reap membership bonanza

THE Roosters are no longer minnows of the NRL after club boss Steve Noyce yesterday declared the club was set to reap an extra $300,000 after a dramatic surge in membership sales.

Last year's grand finalists have shifted their membership target to 9500 - a number even Noyce thought was impossible after a disastrous wooden spoon season in 2009.

The Bondi club has already sold 6553 memberships, 168 per cent above the 2447 they had sold at this time last year.

In 2009 they sold just 5623 memberships.

Noyce said it took some big changes on and off the field to get the club back on track.

"We didn't show pride in our jersey," Noyce said yesterday. "People told us we let them down [in 2009]. Last year was completely different. People have embraced our new culture."

The Roosters will share in a record $30 million windfall because the NRL expects as many as 180,000 memberships to inflate the coffers of clubs heading into this season.


The Bulldogs are the only Sydney-based club not to experience membership growth by more than 50 per cent on this time last year.

But despite the ongoing Ryan Tandy legal controversy, they have still sold 1983 more memberships than this time last year.

A large portion of Manly's membership growth has come from 1500 free season passes to kids under nine years old.

But Sea Eagles boss Graham Lowe said his club has pack leaders South Sydney in its sights after an increase of 3516 memberships on this time last year.

"This strategy is going to show rewards in a few years," Lowe said yesterday.

"We can knock Souths off. Bloody oath we can. They've done a terrific job.

"They kind of got the jump on everyone else and now we want to reel them back in. It's not about what we get this year, but in years to come."

The Rabbitohs are the benchmark for club memberships and are set to break the 20,000 mark.

"I'm glad Graham [Lowe] is aiming for us," Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson said.

"He should be applauded for that. He won't get near us because he's got a long way to go. But it's good to see he's aiming high."

I wish the chooks would update that number. 6,553 has been on the website since last Thursday.

They had sold another 300 by lunchtime last Friday (battle of the beaches), so I'd imagine they'll be well over 7k now.

 

[Dragon]

well done Roosters good to see

 

[BDGS]

Telecrap still hating on the dogs? Yep

Always mate.

 

[PaulyTom]

About time the Roosters sorted a decent membership program. I like their use of celebrities in there brochure. One of the better ones I've seen

 

[Billythekid]

Looking forward to some updated numbers, but im more excited about seeing how the next 2 battles go.

Great figures for the clubs, more members gives us more power to keep the afl away.
