2015 Membership Thread - 70,000 MEMBERS! WE BROKE LAST YEARS RECORD!! ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

[sregit]

Committed Tiger so that'll happen by itself

I'm actually interested in what other Interstate members think of their membership? I know a bunch of people who support Richmond in Perth but they don't want a membership, they don't go to games, it doesn't impact their level of support, to them it's a no brainer. Is there anything you think could be improved that might get these people to change from supporters to members?

Personally I would think Fox Footy Membership packages would help, suggested as much last year but I'm sure there would need to be heaps of arrangements made in order to get that through, particularly since it probably needs to be an arrangement with Foxtel and the AFL. Maybe the club could look at other options like producing DVD packages that automatically get sent every 4 weeks or so? I just know that Interstaters without Foxtel can only see the game if it's broadcast on Free to Air, they download it or go to a pub (some of these just aren't possible for some people).

Allow the interstate member to nominate 1 game that they are entitled to a reserve seat, whether it be in their own state or an interstate venue. Same goes for a country membership.

read somewhere that carlton has pulled the pin on this deal and are taking all the profits starting this year?

Extremely short-sighted move, but yes they did do this. New CEO new theories.

They miss finals and we make it, they will certainly regret it for the next couple of years.

That's a lot of power supporting bandwagoners

Where were they when the tarps were on ?

 

[tigertaskforce]

groupie get a 16 game membership still go and cfc get nothing but the flogging they richly deserve

 

[knickerbocker]

Are Port locking down these members on 4 year plans? Would be in their best interest since they will struggle to sell a few hundred 1 game memberships including a guernsey and a VIP dinner when they drop down the table.

Could be with the "Sleeping" Tiger Army which mobilises at the first whiff of success.. but I suppose that's different?

Of course it's different

We never put tarps on cos we always drew healthy crowds

You obviously haven't tracked our membership numbers on all the years we were s**t?

I put my hand up and say I didn't attend many games in the s**t years but I saw no tarps on telly when I tuned in

So what's the difference? Empty stands are empty stands

Look I'm not saying Richmond fans are particularly bandwagonny either. It's just a fact that every club has a dormant "transient" portion of their supporter base who aren't rusted on like you or I (although I was still attending in the dark times )

 

[RFC_Official]

I think average home crowd is more indicative of a teams' support. You cant blame fans of the other team not wanting to watch rubbish teams.
In saying that, our data shows our members show up most to games they think we will win. They want to see blood.

You don't want to go to the G to see Richmond play
