I think we should have a membership tracker , similar to the one League-Unlimited has for its NRL clubs .

Will give people an idea of how excited a fan base is , and it is generally interesting to keep track of the figures.

Just to highlight how s**t we are?

How many of these are rolled over or credits from 2020 though?

That 47k was from about a week ago too. Should be closing in on 50k soon.

we've run one every year for a decade. We havent this year because most clubs arent giving the data.

I think most clubs aren’t running tallies because they’re declining.

Essendon are struggling and well down at 60,000, reflecting a disillusioned fanbase that’s lost trust in the direction of their club and poor levels of engagement post COVID cuts.

Hawthorn and Collingwood I believe are also struggling Vs previous membership totals in 2019.

Interesting to know what West Coast are on?

When new numbers appear, edit your OP to add them.

I'll scout around now.

 

[Iamspock]

I'm pretty sure the Bulldogs passed 40,000 a few weeks ago, it was announced at our home game against the Eagles.

We announced it between the Good Friday and Ballarat game (Round 3 and 4) but I think we hit it on Easter Weekend.

Geez 60,000 that is not looking good for the Dons compared to years gone by.

I doubt any club even big vic clubs that are performing poorly will do tallies.

WCE will be around the 80-90k mark no doubt.

I think Essendon are ~65,200.

I think Carlton have advertised buy one get one free memberships.
Happy to be corrected

Hard times. I remember we were over 60000 a couple of years back but some down years and covid will definitely hit those numbers hard.

I also remember when anything over 30000 was impressive for Sydney so it seems we’ve got a lot more "rusted on" supporters now.

Most of these are irrelevant numbers anyway, without a proper breakdown of 3 game, Home, and Home and Away membership it doesn’t really mean much.

The Blues are a sleeping giant. There's no way they don't hit 100k members if they can get a decent tilt at the flag in the next 3-4 years.

You are the new owner of this thread - update the OP figures at will my friend

 

[Billy ray]

i'll hunt for gc

 

[Chief]

According to the Cain Liddle email today, Carlton has surpassed 80k.

My god that is an epic slab of text in that email.

TLDR, Cain. Get an editor!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I think Carlton have advertised buy one get one free memberships.
Happy to be corrected

Buy a 3 game membership, get 6 games. They are still one membership though.

There is a reward for remaining a member last year in that you can give away a free membership to someone who has never had one. That isn't for all members though, only those with 11 game memberships or more. For instance, I pay for 3 memberships but only mine generated a free one. I haven't actually used it though so maybe many others haven't either.
