Hawthorn membership tally 2015 - 70,000 plus loose change!!!

[Hawkk]

Certain clubs (like Richmond and Essendon) offer a range of pet membership packages for their members...others (like Hawthorn) don't

I had no idea there was such a huge number of non-access memberships at other clubs, it really does misrepresent their total membership numbers.

The irony being that we were the ones who were known as the 'Pet membership club'!....Now there's a misnomer.....Speaking of which, how on earth do clubs get away with 'NON-ACCESS' memberships being counted in the final tally?....Surely a furphy if ever there was one!

They get away with it because it'd mean hawthorn are further ahead

In all seriousness did we ever have pet memberships? People always go on about it but I have no recollection of them

No. It is just a thing they tossed around as a result of the massive spike in membership following the Merger thing. Ie. they must be signing up their dogs and cats. We'll probably be the last club to do it.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Cats and dogs all started from Eddie McGuire on TFS back in the day

Whichever they wanna spin it, the Hawks are BIG in every way and the oppo flogs need to learn to live with it.

To be honest, I don't care about bying dogs, cats, or even bloody elephants membership tickets, but in reality, their memberships should be recorded as donations to the club; this would give a true view of memberships. Corporate ones purchased as part of a business promotion should also be categorized separately. Just my opinion!

Membership total 66,690, only 1,960 behind from last years total.

Wonder how many are waiting to see how we go against Geelong before signing up?

Hopefully none as they all should have had good value over the last few years.

 

[Hawkk]

This time last year hasn't we already played a game or two of the home and away season?

I'm assuming that would distort the numbers somewhat?

Typically, how many memberships do we sign up on the first match of the year Goldhawk?...Does the club still have reps posted at specific gates to sell them that way?

A quick look at the last couple of years indicates six to eight hundred.

What is an non access member? Better Question, why would you become a non access member?

digital members, i.e. those overseas who want AFL access pass to stream. you can affiliate this with a club

When my girlfriend is really mad with me, I end up holding a non-access member(ship).

I get that non-access sign from my partner regularly!

You can always find another club, IB.

Ha! That's pretty funny. I asked the same question, but didn't realise i'm actually non-access as I live overseas at the moment.

Would be interesting to see the non-access broken into categories (i.e. pet vs overseas vs other types (which I'm sure exist). I like to think of myself as more of a member than a cat...

Further to this, WCE have a lot of non-access members as they have a waiting list for reserved seat memberships due to the limited capacity of the stadium. Its still a yearly fee to be on the waiting list, circa 3-4 years

That's what I would have thought, but I was confused because Essendon have 15k of them?
