Membership Ladder

[royboy2]

Did a quick look at the clubs websites today and compiled a membership ladder.

Collingwood        69,759
Hawthorn           66,966
Richmond           66,244
Adelaide           60,383
Port Power         58,140
West Coast         56,729
Essendon           50,057
Fremantle          48,939* (as at 30/3)
Carlton            44,684
Sydney             40,126* (as at 21/3)
Geelong            39,409
North Melbourne    34,925
Melbourne          31,266
St. Kilda          30,148
Western Bulldogs   25,984
Brisbane Lions     22,523* (as at 24/3)
Gold Coast         12,417
GWS                 9,495

Without comparing them to last year at a quick glance, I find Richmond, Adelaide & Port's impressive whilst Carlton & Geelong not what I expected.

Membership numbers mean nothing when your pet goldfish has a season pass.

How else can Bubbles enjoy the footy?!

Yep, last time I saw a club income chart Geelong was behind only Collingwood among Victorian clubs. We only had 41-odd thousand members and made $800,000 more than teams with 63K+.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Oh, great.

Another number one pick for GWS.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Oh, great.

That there's our pick, friend.

 

[Micksy]

Geelong not what I expected.

Geelong members historically re-sign at the 1st KP game, so expect 5,000 more after round 2.

Hasn't that got a lot to do with a very favourable stadium deal?

The stadium that holds 32,000? Doesn't help sell memberships.

You may be referring to our $800K profit per home game? It's a nice earner, but the stats I'm referencing are just net profit from membership sales.

2013 stats

 

[Iron]

For the record, Adelaide has about 44,000 11-game members. That might be a better indication than those given. Would be interested to see what other teams have.

 

[raman]

not sure why this thread needs to exist given that there's already one on the Industry board

 

[John York]

All the geelol bandwagoners have jumped off, just pathetic by the scats 'faithful' but what would you expect of people who have to live in that shite hole!

I'll assume the use of 'Port Power' wasn't malicious and you were in fact referring solely to our AFL branch, however I'm fairly sure that membership tally includes Port Magpies numbers as well (no double counting it this year, though).

Brownlow Medals mean nothing when you are full of needle marks

 

[Kram]

The figures are about as accurate as a Matt Priddis field kick.

Its not about having 32k seats, its a lot of those 'have' to be reserve seats. That's where the cash comes from, but good on the cats.

Quick take:

Richmond very impressive

Port has a lolworthy amount of bandwagoners

Carlton is strangely low

I reckon Geelong would be constrained by their ground

Bulldogs are a massive concern, they're tipped to have a good year. How can you lag that far behind the perpetually woeful Melbourne?

Who is tipping the dogs to have a good year? They are in huge trouble in 2015.

Generally I think they're tipped to improve and have some exciting young talent.

But I'm now aware of the Dogs v Roos rivalry on BF, so ok, they'll have a s**t year.

 

[Cynic]

Richmonds' values are amazing considering their complete lack of success.

They are 2nd fav for the spoon. Lost Griffen, Libba, cooney and Higgins. It's a year to play the kids.

I don't see 8 wins.

Ahh, that makes sense. Wasn't sure what you were talking about when you referred to 'profit'.

 

[jack son 5]

Gotta love adding my 3 membership's for the Dee's.

Me + German Shepherd x 2 (one GSD may/may not be buried in the ground).

 

[Tas]

We have 4,700 Tasmanian members, they should count as 9,400...

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Collingwood at 69 K ... LOL #Fitting
