Membership figures

[auste1234]

I have been looking around trying to find the latest membership figures, and maybe some reports about what this years target is?

From memory last year we got to around 33,000 members?
With last years average run I hope we can get close to this mark again, because I don't think we would exceede it. But who knows? with some success in the NAB cup we could push 35k ??

We will have 35,000 this year no troubles by the sounds of things.

Amongst all the booklets and paraphernalia that came with this years membership is list of figures going back to 1995.

I'm not at home so I cant help you.

Fremantle Football Club membership surged past the 33,000 mark to reach 33,239 members at 1:00pm today to be within reach of a new club membership record.

The club has posted record membership in each of the last three years and in 2005 recorded 34,124 members at 15 June 2005.

General Manager – Marketing, Steve Rosich said “This is an outstanding result and is 1,928 members ahead of where we were at this time last year.”

“The club is also on track to achieve the highest membership renewal rate in the club’s history and a new club membership record is only 885 members away.

“This result so early in the season before a game has been played shows the unwavering loyalty of our members and is a fantastic result,” Mr Rosich said.

The club’s new television commercial will air from tomorrow (Friday 24 February) focusing on the theme of the excitement of being at the game and reflecting the club’s brand themes of "Proud - Loyal - Passionate".

The team banner for Sunday’s game will also carry the message:

Proud - Loyal – Passionate
Be A Part Of It

Lookin good.

I thought we were going to have a drop in memberships this year if CC was still the coach??? I distinctly recall George Grizzleguts (and others) say so last year on 6pr many times. "You mark my words" I recall him saying. He's always right - I've heared him say so!

Imagine how many members we'll have when we have some success.

Well done Freo members. Keep up the passion.

I didn't think we got over 34k last year, that is very impressive.
If we actually get some success it won't be many years before we get around to the same figures as the mob up the road.

What I wish they would publicate is the proportion since 2002 that are under 22 years Old.
Back in 2003 it was all the rage about bandwagon supporters, But i still maintain the reason for growth is the number of young people who when they reach around 18 can afford a proper membership.

But I also thought that maybe the number of people not signing because of CC compared to new members would be outwayed. I Didnt think we would get past 33k. But 35k is almost a dead set certainty, and if we actually get anywhere in the wizard cup 36k isn't entirely out of the question.

Grizzle guts was certainly wrong!

Grizzle Guts knows that there are alot of Freo supporters that are P#@#$d of with the performance over the last 2 years. He thought though we would show our disapointment by walking away from the club.

Nope we are still hanging in there and shows that there is heaps of passion out there.

PS If you dont retain your membership though you may not be able to get it in a few years time because of the size of Subi
