Snapshot at memberships to date

No it shouldn't for two reasons -
1) It would be numerically incorrect.
2) Memberships haven't closed yet.

Keep hoping for that though.

bottle, keep fighting the good fight and I know that you mean well by all this but there is no denying that numbers are down and that there are many members not happy with management and coaching.

Have never disputed any of this.
However reports of our death are premature. How much is the membership down by?
Impossible to tell until memberships close.
Yet we still have, and have had from the opening of this thread, plenty death riding the club anticipating much worse outcomes than we've seen.
They've been proven wrong and will continue to be so as we approach the close date for memberships.

I countered a factually incorrect statement. That's all I've been doing through the course of this thread. I've made no assumptions, premature or otherwise.

We are down but how far down? Anyone have some accurate figures for the same time last year?

The next question would be what has had the greatest effect? Stadiums or coaching?

Dragon Jim missed out on upgrading with 4 seats but I was lucky to move closer to the 40 line in the SWUG Kogarah with 3. Finding 4 seats together let alone 3 is probably a big ask.

I would imagine most folk would want to hang onto decent seats in the hope things turn around.

I also suspect numbers are reasonable due to the multitude of packages available rather than overall membership return for the club holding ground.

I think anyone death riding the club is not areal supporter, imagine we no longer had a club to support it would be a disaster. They were all just observations about(low numbers). You never know there may yet be a late surge.

I just find it hilarious that we are still ahead of the dogs and roosters despite our shit season, and despite launching our memberships a month later than they did.

Totally agree

Lethal & dragonjim, my few seats gone from bronze to gold SWUG bay 4.
Hope it's under cover but it looks like it should be a good view from there.

Tickets haven't arrived yet, they told me that there were production issues with the Heartland tickets.

signed up (again), today - 4 members - GA at Jubilee.


I am not a critic or wannabe coach - so do not wish to dice Price.
Nor am I an accountant - so do not worry about the financial return.
Nor am I a marketing manager - so am not concerned with what "others" may think of "my" brand.

I am just a fan.
A crazy, stupid, "can't escape" fan.

Now pass that war paint and bring it on.

See you on the hill comrades.

Good attitude HOD, but having watched the season opening game tonight, I feel that we are behind the pace of the top teams by a long way. The intensity of those top teams Souths and Roosters is ferocious and relentless. Anyway have a good season supporting the team.:)

Closing in on 16K (maybe tomorrow, certainly would expect this week) but slowing noticeably.
A few more wins before months end might result in a final charge.

With a few more early wins. I don't see why 18-19K won't be off the cards by june. Especially with 6 game member packs. I was honestly not expecting to tip 15K, but happy I was talking out of my arse :D

We are two clubs rolled into one and brag about 16k lol. Souffs have 28k. For a big club I'm actually stunned we don't have close to 40k

Bad management end story.

Memberships don't always reflect your overall fan-base. I'll always be a believer and supporter of the fact that we have the biggest overall fan-base out of every NRL club. Not everyone's going to become a member when buying a ticket on the day isn't that difficult.
