Resource 2022 NMFC Membership thread - Final Tally: 50,191

[Roogal]

Finally, an update.

GR - is this a reasonable increase given the gap since the last membership update?

I reckon that this probably puts us on parity with recent years. After all, time will tell if we can crack it for the finals this year. At least we are starting on the front foot this year with a more positive coaching team and more consistent results over the second half of last season.

C'mon Snake you're on about your 19th Nervous Breakdown on this.

C'mon Snake you're on about your 19th Nervous Breakdown on this.

Not to mention he’s the only one interested but, as usual, expects others to dig up the data.

Ahhhh...............just quietly............I'm not the one having a "breakdown" around here.

I'll leave the outrage to the professionals.

 

[Grogg]

The only breakdown worth considering is a member geographical analysis.

Until this is known, all other arguments about home attendance, etc are pretty much moot.

Just had a browse at some other club's membership tallies.

St Kilda are on 42,000
Footscray are on 37,000
Melbourne are also on 36,000

Just some clubs can never seem to grow their membership.

Surprising that the dogs don't have more with their off-season of hype. Guess they mustn't be handing out free memberships at Vic uni anymore.

If you're on some form of benefit...

"Many clubs were eager for a united front on the membership refund issue, but said it was premature to take a position until it was known if games would be affected."

AFL, clubs braced for hit if virus causes lockouts or cancellations

The AFL has minimal insurance coverage for the massive financial losses that will come if and when matches are played in empty stadiums, or worse, cancelled.

AFL sources said that it would be the clubs, rather than the AFL, that would be hit harder by crowd-less games, because the league had the broadcast earnings and huge sponsorship deals locked-in, while the lost gate receipts were the domain of clubs.

Whatever happens, the AFL are going to need to massively increase their annual distribution rates for this season.

Coincidentally Gold Coast and GWS the only clubs fully supporting refunding all memberships.

Not surprising.

AFL signed off on too no doubt.

Spend the money to buy a membership to games you cant attend because of the Coronavirus. It still wouldn't be a waste of money...

 

[Black2Blue]

Just got my membership pack. Might just pop the card into the memorabilia box or offer it as a mint-condition, unused collectable. #CovidAFLFanBan

It may just be a shortened season, play each team once.

I would love that to be the case, but we are just at the tip of the iceberg in terms of community transmission, and containing the virus within a couple of months would be wildly optimistic, especially in the midst of flu season and with Western societies like Australia being unable to adapt to a controlled environment such as in Singapore or South Korea. My money would be on a postponement that becomes a cancelled season.

 

[kool kangas]

l wonder how many members will ask for compensation or will let the club keep it to help assist the club financially.

 

[Hojuman]

We have alot of people buy at rd. 1 at the tents. Doubt they will.

 

[Gasometer]

Can I get my Cap mailed out?

Thanks

Could we play an October lightning Premiership?

October is dead for Sport

Could just picture Gil getting his AFLX crap going in September to decide the 2020 flag.

Aren't we reigning lightning premiership champions Gaso ?
