Expansion Tasmania Officially Granted 19th Licence

[mouncey2franklin]

You’re the one making the sensational claim,

The AFL are claiming that 120,000 people signed up as foundation members of a club within days of opening.

Where is their evidence? Is there a third party auditing these claims?

Tas-mania: How the devil did new AFL club pull so many members?

The Devils have pulled in more than 100,000 members since Monday. The moral here is not just about the volume – which is greater by far than the AFL or the new club had anticipated – but the rush in which they arrived.

You could ask Ticketmaster as they are controlling the membership enrollments

Yes, there is. Would you like to view the evidence yourself, or will you be inciting a rowdy mob to storm the capital instead?

I’m interested to understand what would constitute evidence in your mind.

So you’re talking about the AFL engaging someone like a Big 4 on a six figure fee to say ‘yes, these names are real’?

If a consultant in a suit (whose client would be the AFL) reported that the number was legitimate, would that be enough for you?

If the election goes the wrong way and they don't support a new stadium what happens?

Guys we just ticked over 150,000 foundation members which officially upgrades our membership tally from "meh" and "mediocre" to "just okay I guess".




The lid is well and truly off as far as I am concerned!

150000 is an amazing achievement.

I assume each of these members has paid $10?

$1.5M in additional cashflow for marketing etc is not an insignificant amount.

I have bought the $15 option and I am sure many others have too. Maybe up to $1.8m if I had to guess money.

Alright, I'll sign up. I was fully into Tassie getting a team back when Brett Godfrey was putting together a report, but all the bickering over the stadium and then the release of the terrible foundation jumper the other day fizzled my excitement a bit. Excited that so many people are behind it now though and that the state jumper won't actually be the jumper, so keen to contribute as it also helps the stadium getting done, via everybody seeing how much support the club is going to get.

I spent big and went the $15 option as well.

That's a fantastic result, and show of support for, for the Tasmanian AFL club.

It is unbelievable how much support there is for us in the football community!

I really hope the support shown has tipped a few people's votes to a liberal majority. Normally would hate that result, but our Liberal party is quite moderate and not very far right wing. But even if Labor somehow wins, I think 150000 supporters is a clear message that the team will work and given Rebecca White's carefully worded message about the team needing to prove itself before building a stadium, she can easily point to those figures now and say it has proven itself and its time to get on with the stadium. Although I will be very nervous if she wins somehow.

so doubled Launceston's population, and at this rate, will hit Hobart's as well

How many 2028 matches did you get in your membership this year?

It's not a membership, it's a sticker pack.

Sorry, I'm just laughing. A mate told me it's $10 for a sticker pack, and I said yeah but how much for the membership? He said no that's it.

Gotta love a bit of marketing spin.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

It was announced back in September last year that the club launch would be in march 2024 at the beginning of the AFL season. Specific date for the launch was given early feb before the early election was even called.

I don’t think the afl organised anything but you have to admit it’s been a smart move buy the premier/ liberal party to have the election fall a few days after the afl announcement

Very smart business buy the afl though a huge data grab for when it comes time to sell proper memberships, and make a quick 1.5 million while doing it

 

[peetoo]

Next target? 166,315. The liberal vote at the last state election. Other parties bypassed hours ago

It’s a number the pollies will be very familiar with

You're just making s**t up now. There's no way you've got a mate.

Hope North and/or Hawks fold out of all this.

 

[SBYM]

Just saw 150k has been passed.

Holy s**t. That is remarkable. Good on 'em.

Anyone upset/miffed/cynical about this is a grumpy old campaigner at heart.
