2016 Saints Memberships - 38,009 final AFL tally

You would think so.
The one thorn in our side in regards to membership and attendance is the mental scar that many serious and fringe fans from '09 and 2010 still bare.
It's very hard to calculate how many of these fans we have lost permanently or for the foreseeable future, but then again everyone loves a winner.

Do we have the most fair weather fan base in the league?

Hopefully not, we don't have enough members at the best of times to allow for a permanent revolving door policy.

I think we have a big supporter base that's been dormant for a long time and that a flag in 09/10 would have got us to 50000 members, and I think our next flag will do the same.

I agree, but as stated earlier, imo our membership position is in the position it is as a direct correlation to those Grand Final losses. Plenty have walked away from financial commitment and attendance.
It will be interesting to see at what stage of our climb up the ladder the more fair weathered or battle weary of our supporter base decide to hop back on. Hopefully, it is before another flag.

I think the dogs will start to pull away with their premiership win. They will get to 50+ I reckon.
