I just read that news on another thread.

43000 members, nice effort that. Says a lot of positive things about Freo and its fans. Congrats

I'm surprised that they have had a large number of people signing up since the season started. I expected anyone thinking of jumping on would decide not to after the results in the first 3 weeks. Either they put their applications in a month ago, or they are passionate supporters who are in for the long haul.

Good to see such great support - as well as being the second team from WA into the comp, which makes it even more special (Cant see Port getting those numbers anytime soon)

I heard it on the radio that people loved initially going to Freo games beacuse they werent soldout like Eagles games, and thus they could go with their mates without needing a membership... Dont know if its true but looks like theyll need em now

Good luck for the rest of the year

, and thus they could go with their mates without needing a membership...

In the bad old days I'd pay for a budget membership and sit in the premium seats.

NO the capacity is 40K with about 3K for general admissions.

Not all of the 43K members are seated members.

At the start of season we had 36K seated members

yea that was great. I remember going to a wet vs port match at Subi - we moved to get out of the rain,and were the only 2 in a whole undercover block, and I had my own beer guy serving just me

Welcome to the world of "Membership Full"

It'll be interesting to see if the Dockers follow West Coast's lead and introduce a waiting list membership, I would expect so. I hope all you proud and passionate supporters are paid up, 'cause it could be a while before that next membership ticket turns up in the mail.

Well done Dockers - full membership in 10 years is an awesome effort.

Its good hey, I do that for Port Power home games, pay for a cheap ass budget season ticket, and then just head over to the premium seating...which some pay 120 bucks more for, when really the only team its full is for showdown (aka derby), or match Port v collingwood.

Well done on 43k though, that is a great effort.

So there's now more members than the capacity of Subi oval?

What a disgrace.

When will they build this new stadium? By the time they even start Perth's population will be 20 million FFS.

Yep, that 1500% population increase is due any day now.

Don't hold your breath for a) the Government to make a decision swiftly, b) for the decision to be a good one, and c) for the stadium to be finished any time soon.

 

[SWANNIES RULE]

By the time it's done 60000 will barely be enough an we'll have the same problem all over again.

West Coast and docker fans can always just move to Melb and help fill up the grounds here

Don't worry people, the stadium will be built sometime in the future.
And once it's completed, don't forget to show your pension cards for the discount!!
