I’ve got a Richmond mate who reckons his club is the biggest club in Australia as a result of having the most members. They just got to 100k members and apparently they are in a race with the Eagles to see who is the biggest club in Australia. Let it be West Coast.99,509 members. Pretty impressive.

On GF day in 2018, my Collingwood friend could not believe the blue and yellow hordes that were streaming into the MCG with us. She said 'Where did they all come from?!'.
I just smiled and said 'We're f*****g massive'
The real number you don't see is full seated memberships. We would leave Richmond for dead on that count. Even though our seated memberships cost more.I’ve got a Richmond mate who reckons his club is the biggest club in Australia as a result of having the most members.

Both numbers are valid. But agree, the an 11 game equivalent tally matters most.Club membership tallies should only include the full season ticket 11 home games category. Everything else are just theatre goers.
The number of members means nothing, it is the membership revenue that is important. This goes directly to the club and is the easiest way for the club to generate revenue.The real number you don't see is full seated memberships. We would leave Richmond for dead on that count.

In terms of Home game attendance we're third behind Tigers and Magpies - however both of them are likely to get a lot more opposition supporters inflating their numbers. If we had a 70k stadium, there's a good chance our average Home game attendance would be the biggest anyway.

What about my 21 year Victorian Cheer Squad membership? Plus trips every year to at least two interstate games outside of Victoria. Am I just a theatre goer?
I once had a 3 game Swans membership - cheaper than the srandard entry, got a free cap and free public transport. Great sitting with members wearing a members cap bagging out the swansBoth numbers are valid. But agree, the an 11 game equivalent tally matters most.
But if we have 44,000 non seated members paying $50 each, that's still an extra $2.2mil revenue.

Just a reminder that us Victorian fans exist too. #vicmembersmatter #boredinlockdown
It’s like self-harm coming on here sometimes, but we do exist

I went to the Hawks vs Eagles game at docklands in 2018 and sat near the Eagles cheersquad. They absolutely brutalised the Hawks players, way louder than our home squad.We have such a great supporter base in Victoria. I am always amazed at, and grateful for, how much noise you guys make when we play over there.
Small world, was lucky enough to have traveled for that one and sat down there. Was a pretty good contest topped of with the shocked masto goal to that end.I went to the Hawks vs Eagles game at docklands in 2018 and sat near the Eagles cheersquad.

Really? I have no west coast friends here in Melbourne (unless you include my mother). It's actually quite sad.I have more west coast friends in Melbourne than here in WA.
South of the river is full of lavenders.
Plenty of us West Coast members and supporters in NSW. I’ve seen 4 other fans here in Maroubra in the last couple of weeks. I’d been a seated member of the Eagles since 1988 until 2002 when I moved to Sydney. I’d be lucky to see one game in Sydney each year and would normally have to travel down to Melbourne to see games. Plus I was the Eagles member of the round a few years back at Subi so I reckon I’m higher than a peon. I’m still a proud member.Nah, you're slightly above theatre-goer. You've ascended to the status of servile pleb. Another interstate game or two and you'll be upgraded to meager peon.
