The cost of the Price and the Price you pay for having the Price.

It's a damn good squad and it's still early days but it looks like there'll be more than a few disgruntled at the reappointment of the super coach, we are under the Wests Tigers and that says a lot.

 

[TruSaint]

Eels already at 10k circa...
Unless there is a late rush, we may struggle.

 

[Minh]

Unusual for the Dragons to lag behind like this.

 

[Father Ted]

The home ground thing has everyone who I know in the heartland to be members Bailing

 

[TruSaint]

I tell you Minh why its particularly peculiar in mid Dec.
Normally by now, those "renewing" to ensure same seats have done so.
Lets face it, we are leading up to Christmas / New year, slow period for trade as families go away.
Maybe Jan will be better but its not looking good.

Yeh it doesn't and you would be good at analising these things, I just think back to the backlash we had when Price was confirmed as coach for 2014 when a lot of people were calling for his head. This may be a factor and it may not be that big but I think it must have at least a little to do with it.

 

[TruSaint]

Minh, as Father Ted said, people are bailing.
If we go into the break (holidays) with 3-4 k , it will be hard to reach our said goal of 20k.
The other thing to remember is how the club measures memberships.
With 3 million options this year, does a member who secures 4 games get credit?
Not sure, but if that's full membership, then we have a problem.
I repeat, we are behind the Eels FFS.
Time will tell.

 

[Minh]

Agree Tru there are plenty of factors and not the least pointed out by Father Ted.

 

[Father Ted]

Given the Coach ,The CEO and current board plus the last few years results and especially the very cynical treatment Kogarah has been given. Dousties goal of 20k is another one of his fantasies imo.I frankly wonder if we will reach 10k

Wonder what the excuse will be if the member numbers are well below expectations? Despite all this right game right venue policy bullshit we are fed every day

The economy, or change of demographics, or long term vision.

lol. Standing by for the media release. It'll be interesting to see what spin they put on it.

I'd like to see the breakdown of packages bought.

Me too friend.
Doubt they will ever divulge the so called "criteria".

I renewed, we're supposed to support them through thick and thin right? What happened to saints having the most passionate supporters..
