50,000 and Beyond..

[AdsGoNads]

50,000 is a mean haul when you consider what the club gave a car away for a few years back!

But can we join the 70,000 Club in 2017?

Where would the new members come from?

Some opinions are that 70k is the Ceiling.

Should Port strive to be the first AFL Club 100,000?

I'll go with whatever the consensus was last year in the same thread.

 

[badbeats]

Why isnt this in the membership thread?

 

[Boxx]

After all the new 1 game international members, 70000+ is very achievable IMO!

 

[PAFC66]

60 would be huge again considering

 

[manureid]

No

Agree with this. If we manage to notch 60k again after the last two years we've had, we're doing great.

 

[Kingfish73]

I hope club strives for a sustainable membership number that aligns with reasonable financial targets. Maximising focus towards on field success

We need more data, not members.

 

[DaTBird187]

For no reason at all.

 

[PAFC66]

Hopefully we start making some decent profits of more than 14k.

yea maybe too good! i can't see 70 but who knows how big this year will be..

 

[El Zorro]

I'd be very happy with 60k again.

 

[philreich]

60k and a return to finals action - that'll do me for starters. Anything on top of that would be a bonus.

When I was a kid that was the prize in SA Lotteries first lottery draw in 1967. I vaguely remember the state went bunta. They amped it up to add a $30,000 prize, again bunta. Or maybe it was only the adults in my family. Anyway for those historical reason my aspiration for 2017 is a $30,000 profit.

KT mentioned at an AGM one year if we were to start posting exorbitant profits like your Hawks, Pies, etc. then we wouldn't be putting enough back into the community.

...and the SANFL would raid our coffers if they smelled money.

Good point.

I read that we invested $2m more into our Academies last year + we still made a profit.

I recall a family in Woomera winning the $14,000. They splashed out on a Fairmont, which was a little bit fancy for Woomera.

 

[AdsGoNads]

It must be time for the club to give away another Renault.

Surely that would bump us over 70k?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Great thread concept, I'm over the moon with it. Good idea gonads!

We exist to win premierships not make big profits ya twat

I am not fussed what our profit levels are as long as we are:

1) solvent; and
2) spending money in the right areas to ensure the PAFC has ongoing success.
