Port Adelaide reports minor drop in membership total, ranked eighth overall

The Power’s overall membership figure of 60,214 was scaled down by the AFL as part of its annual audit to 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.

Port is now ranked eighth for membership in the AFL behind Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond, West Coast, Essendon, Sydney and the Adelaide Crows.

Grain o salt 60 thousands members is excellent for a suburban based team

 

[Jonts]

Going to be bigger drop next year

 

[Dylan8]

Expect it to drop again as the AO bubble pops and the compounding of two years of mediocrity hits. Good figures for this year though, we certainly weren't going to break the tally.

Hawks overtake Pies to top membership ladder

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Might as well shut up shop.

The good times are over.

 

[RossFC]

If we can retain the 60k figure next year I'd be happy.

 

[Steve Dore]

LOL, Collingwood 74,643 members, attendance at last 2016 home game, in the very unpopular Saturday night timeslot, 17,644 (24% of members).

 

[manureid]

All those 3 game Crows people have dropped off.

Members who will not renew in 2017

 

[badbeats]

Surprised we stayed around the same number tbh after 2015.

Next year will drop unless something exciting happens re: list/coaches

Not so sure that many will drop off, know plenty on the waiting list for a seat eager to take someone's spot, and what if they come good

 

[LFC2010]

Better get those tarps ready.

That made me laugh, classic.

 

[El Zorro]

We've done well. Next year worries me. Ben D thinks we'll still get 60k consistently regardless of form. I hope he's right.

 

[simmo_bc]

Why so much pessimism? My girl friend has been on the waiting list for 2 years and know of others that have gone on this year.

No bubble has popped. The only question is around our membership ceiling as a club.

 

[El Zorro]

Sydney had a massive increase. While QLD is clearly in trouble.

Does she have a GA membership that wants to upgrade or no membership at all?

She had GA + waiting list.

To drop by only 300 memberships after a non finals year in 2015 is a great result.

Memberships won't be on a genuine downward trend, attendances are another thing.

When it comes to the crunch, people will pay $300 to renew, just like the yearly SACA membership

 

[Adz2332]

we had more members than adelaide last year?

Yeah gave the olde SACA membership away, can't justify it just for a PIMM's..... would of been great with my Adelaide Oval membership but they cocked that up...... I want to trade that in for a Port seated membership x 2 off in the Western Grandstand, level 2... I have zero chance, I can't give Port well over $600.00 if I tried....... theAdelaide Oval membership areas are getting screwed over by the clubs too, in a lose lose situation! and If I have to go on a waiting list I have to pay 150 bucks a year, if it was 30 bucks i'd do it, the club needs to re-think that one....

 

[Enviable Tradition]

A pretty good result all things considering.

Out pre-season and start to next season is going to have a massive bearing on whether we can maintain it.
