2013 Memberships

[Perth Red]

Its a common thing in Coastal Areas around the world in other sports too, Even the Coastal teams in the NFL don't fill their stadiums, Must be because there are better things to do

Perth must be an exception, apart from the poorly run glory all other Perth clubs do well for crowds.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

San Francisco 49 ers go pretty good.

Are they coastal ?

 

[Dogs Of War]

Yes they are. The stadium is about the same distance from the ocean that the SFS is from Bondi beach. It is also on the bay.

Chooks @ 13,113

What'd she say to owe an apology for this time?

Something along the lines of we have 5k members and tens of thousands would be at the swans fan day. Turns out she was wrong on both counts lol

 

[Swamp]

Must be over 220,000 by now. It seems most club's figures are still going up incremently.

 

[CC_Roosters]

Hopefully the club build next year membership drive around getting 20k. Maybe invoke the rivalry with souths and the fact they have over 25k

 

[Desert Qlder]

Are there any or does anyone have an up-to-date tally of current membership numbers?

There seems to be some significant increases since we last saw one.

The one good thing about Souths' membership success is that it's forced our club to do something. In fact, a lot of clubs have gotten of their arses.
Easts were lazy in the marketing department when Souths were a basket case.
We've been steady the last couple of years but now we need to pick it up gear. 20k is ambitious and exactly the kind of target we should settings ourselves. Your suggestion above has merit.

Souths rate of increase seems to have increased in the past week since they were approaching and passed 25k. Well done indeed.

15k isn't out of the question for us if can maintain this form before origin begins

 

[Von]

Chooks = 13,228

 

[Stormwarrior]

Storm have been 14042 for a week or 2. Another 600-700 and they beat last year.

 

[Saint Doc]

Dragons pushing to crack 20,000. Have released two new membership options

- red V trilogy: choose any 3 remaining home games (all categories)
- new red V set of 6: choose any 3 remaining home games PLUS GA Ticket to ANZ vs dogs, Souths and eels

 

[CC_Roosters]

Great inititive by the dragons hopefully they crack 20k again! Still think the bulldogs haven't capitalised on last season's success in terms of membership, was sure they would surge to 20k

 

[Diesel]

Where is the list of clubs and membership numbers? I've only found the numbers for February 2013

The NRL haven't released a set of numbers for every club since February or march. A bit frustrating as the bunnies milestone should have triggered a full list from the NRL as has happened in the past. From my numbers we are between 220 and 225k

 

[Dogs Of War]

We seem to have a lot of fans who just will just choose which games to go to and buy those. How you get those fans to sign up is a challenge. I do think promotion memberships before christmas with a big factor showing price (would be great if all teams had a $99 GA membership so you could promote that) would see heaps of those appearing under christmas trees.

Bulldogs need to also do something similar to St George and offer packs throughout the season, something I really don't remember the Bulldogs doing.

In addition, 88,150 women are financial members of NRL clubs - representing 41 per cent of the overall membership - 45 per cent of rugby league fans are female.

I don't know how recent that stat is for members as it would only put us at 215k, but it's an interesting stat nevertheless.
