Not bad considering Covid and our onfield form over the last 12 months.

Absolutely brilliant Hawthorn! Well done. They also got 70,000 + last year during COVID.

70k is a fantastic effort for a club that has had zero on field success and most predicted as a strong wooden spoon chance.

Agreed. Imagine if we had Tigers style success?

It’s an easy throw at line but Essendon are truly a sleeping giant of the competition.

For the record, the missing numbers for Richmond in the above table are

1984 6,822
1985 7,137
1986 5,772
1987 2,825
1988 3,154
1989 3,607
1990 4,974
1991 8,377

Richmond membership and attendance figures since 1984

I think I might have too much time on my hands but was wondering how our memberships and attendances this year compared to other years. I've posted it here in case anyone else is interested. Year Membership Total Attendance Average Attendance 1984 6,822 608,961 ...

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.

I must say kudos to the Saints supporters. They have a good following. 53,000 members is significant for one of the bottom 5 Vic clubs.. (in terms of supporter base). Melbourne & Bulldogs supporters should be better with the success so far this year..

Around 7,000 have been given free memberships by existing Carlton members. Fantastic effort by the 80,378 Carlton supporters.

 

[mr bagcroft]

These figueres for all clubs are laughable, completely bogus. Dont get so sucked in and take it so seriously.
Besides flat out false inflation...
you have one game memberships, 3 game memberships....clubs have signed up pets in the past (hello Hawthorn...)
ONLY full season all game meberships should count.
Absolutely cannot be trusted.

Does that mean the Blues have 87K or 73K ‘paid up’ Members. Hard to follow all these things.

Spot on but the AFL make the rules. If they counted the numbers as you suggested the same clubs would be at the top Rich, WCE Carl, Ess, Coll.

Similar, to some degree, to the ballooning debt of some clubs right?

No not 87 73K, You can thank the 1980's for the high membership numbers for Essendon, Hawthorn and lesser a extent Carlton. The kids from then are members now along with their families.

this whole year is going to be weird for memberships. some will be held over from last year, some will be free, some will be discounted. tallies will be fun come year end

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.
