Prediction Club Official Membership Target for 2016 is 65,000.. Could we EVER make 70,000?

You're 1,000 out there REH

Not sure why the SMA numbers need to be split anyway. As part of the membership fee $50 goes to each club irrespective of which club you select

I was also surprised that having paid the extra $100 for the reason the SMA stated I am not counted as a member of both clubs.

Going by the following definition, as AO Football Members do not receive a club membership pack* from either club they should not be counted at all.

"..... include only memberships which cost $50 or more, had a person’s name attached to it and resulted in the distribution of a membership pack. ...."

* I am a PAFC non-ticketed member so receive a membership pack

I also get the platinum upgrade for each of my memberships

Since the move to AO. The crows 2014 club figure comes the Wookies 2014 thread late August, the rest from club statements.

Basically the crows have more members than us based solely on the SMA's fudged distribution. Who would've thought?

Big growth in "Other" for the Crows.

They must be Fage's data gold mine.

They are probably paying people to buy memberships from turkey.

I reckon they count these as memberships (obviously excluded in the AFL count):

We Fly As One Membership is the Adelaide Crows FREE membership and ensures you stay on top of all the latest and breaking exciting news from the Club! As a We Fly As One Member, you will receive Member-Only communication from the Club, Priority Ticket access, 10% discount at CROWmania and Juniors will also receive an exclusive Adelaide Crows Sticker Pack!

The use of exclamation marks really swayed me. As did the random capitalisation of FREE, Priority Ticket, CROWmania and Sticker Pack.

Last year when we had more members than the Crers Fagan said "give me data not tallies". This year they have more members than us and all of a sudden tallies are back in fashion.

2015
Adelaide untroubled by 'drop' in membership
"Adelaide chief executive Andrew Fagan said the league's figure was essentially meaningless to the South Australian club."

2016
Crows break membership record
"“We’re extremely proud to have surpassed our previous membership record at this stage of the season and I’d like to thank all of our members who have renewed or joined the Club in 2016,” Fagan said."
