2017 NRL Club Membership

[moffla]

Huge. Actually quite remarkable growth in the past 5 - 6 years. Anyone know of a database where I can check clubs history?

 

[ACTPanthers]

I'm actually surprised at Penriths numbers - Given on-field performances, I'd have thought we'd be a lot lower

 

[H.H]

Storm have hit the 20,000 members mark.WOOHOO

Outstanding - they've really done a great job down there in all respects. Well done Storm.

Roosters 15,508. Hopefully can push to reach 16,000 this year.

Well done storm, shows what the game can achieve if it commits to expanding the game.

Yes ,but our lowest membership number ,is an expansion club on the GC,less than 11,000 in heartland territory.

I'm happy for any membership, but I'd love to see the numbers for ticked (maybe min. 6 games) per club as well.

I'm surprised that so many sheep keep rejoining the Dragons with the crap going on in the club.

I suspect there is a lot of one game memberships given it seems to be a membership driver strategy. With game KO times being so sporadic and weather conditions having big impacts due to poor facility stadia it shouldn't be surprising that full memberships are not that high.

Looks like the growth has slowed down which is to be expected when the absolute numbers have increased so much. It's still good to see memberships on the rise, amazing how far we've come in 5-10 years.

 

[Perth Red]

Good its still going up but 7000 new members for 32 staff salaries isn't exactly a great return for the nrl's investment.

 

[Timmah]

Yes, because every business should measure the success of implementation over a single season rather than a series of years lol

It's only the last two years that the nrl has funded two fulltime membership staff per club. Given the expense of 32 staff a pertinent question to ask if the return this year has met the investment I'd have thought. Maybe we have peaked?

 

[taipan]

If my memory is correct ,the figures cited in the NRL annual reports included NSWRL and QRL memberships.
Someone clarify if that is or is not the case.
If it is ,2017 numbers are far better at this point in time.

They work on renewals as well, don't they?

 

[Perth Red]

Indeed and it may that we need that investment to now maintain what we've got, maybe we've peaked and the level of popularity of nrl means this is reaching our ceiling?

The figures above are just the club membership totals

 

[taipan]

OK so the figures are still up marginally after a big jump the prior year." Code in crisis" warning sign from the Fremantle Doctor.
Souths the 2nd biggest Membership club are down in 2017,wonder why that is LOL?The Dogs after 2016 efforts are down this year surprise, surprise.Dragons have hardly inspired much.

To summarise we are at least up and some clubs well up Storm,Sharks Canberra, and Tigers .whilst some down for obvious reasons.The ones who are well up, got support from somewhere perhaps?Head office?

Just a little footnote.Or a reality check.In addition to non performance of teams having some affect, poor stadiums or lack of cover/seating are not going to encourage larger numbers of people to take up memberships.
Again what effect the cost of living is having on people who may want to be members, but financially are hesitant to do so ,because of employment uncertainty, mortgages who knows!!!

Membership is up marginally on a previous big jump ,a plus.but AFL have had a history of such ,and have all seater oval stadiums .Also memberships have not been ruled ,across yet in 2017.
Crowds are down a minus, many reasons already alluded to..
TV ratings down a minus;TV ratings down for many sports around the world I understand.
New stadiums and improved ones to be completed by 2021 a plus.Even Nth Qld getting a new one.

Typical childish reaction. Bury your head in the sand if you like but this year is plateauing, either needs some new initiatives to keep the great gains made going or acceptance we have hit our ceiling. Now if they'd just share how may are reasonable ticketed memberships make up that number we'd have an even better picture of the reality.
