Members for 2004

[JUDDanaut]

In an article on the AFL website it says that we have over 28 000 members at this moment of time for next year.
Is that good or bad at this time for we still have over three months till the season begins.

Incredibly good. I think Collingwood had about 7000-odd the other week, and were bragging on it being up 25%. Half the clubs won't reach that figure by end of 2004, whilst some clubs won't reach that figure by end of 2005.

So fantastic news.

Are you serious about Collingwood...7 000 is a bit of a low number for them...

 

[Mr Q]

Numbers are a bit misleading at this stage. The WA clubs (and SA clubs) always have the highest memberships at this time of year because of season ticket renewals - you have to get in early to retain your seat. As a consequence most renewing Eagles members have already signed up, while for the Melbourne clubs they haven't got around to it yet.

St Kilda has set a pre-Christmas record for memberships, with 13,500 already signed up.

The figure represents a 30 per-cent increase when compared to the same period last season.





There's a bit of a comparison for you. St Kilda is not a big membership puller, but for a Vic club, those are impressive figures.

When we renewed our membership, we changed seats(so the sun wasnt in our eyes) n became 'noteholders'

does anyone know what the difference is between normal membership and noteholders membership?

Just the seat, basically.
