Membership 2017 - Target 50,000

[bulldogsthru&thru]

This time last year we were 21,022 (8th December 2015).

We should get to 50k

I think our supporter base is typically late to jump on and buy memberships. What i mean is that we typically lag similar teams (north, saints, dees) early in the year but go past them as the season starts.

We are around 30,000 now is what my sources are reporting

Bring on 45-50,000

2,000 ahead of the saints. Should it be more?

You'd hope for a larger gap. But I guess our final figure is the only one to focus one. To smash our all time record from this year would be huge for the club.

We're 35-40% up on this stage last year, the all time record. Has to be viewed as very positive surely.

Well considering we are up 35-40% on last year, and we finished with more members than them last year, i'm tipping we have more fans who sign up as the season is starting.

Having record membership numbers is nice and all but personally I don't care too much about the numbers. Clubs manipulate them in all sorts of ways with 3 game memberships, etc. The only thing that really matters is the money generated from memberships. Given we have a maxed out social club and presumably should cash in with increased reserved seat members, coterie groups, etc that should see us pulling in record membership revenue.

Hopefully the club can flog 3,000-5,000 of these Ballarat memberships. Would inflate the numbers, and be a welcome financial boost for the time and effort we've put into playing home games up there.

You'd have to imagine so. Ballarat memberships will hopefully do well, I've heard a few people say they've paid to go on the SC waiting list too (at $20 a pop), I haven't heard anyone yet cancel the $20 to the women's team, plus we have some early prime time games give us the microphone to try to sign up extras and early games with expected great attendance (Sydney and unfurling the flag, Good Friday, Bob's hopeful 300th etc) you'd like to think the extra foot traffic passed membership tents might be financially rewarding too. With the projections mentioned in this thread, we should be debt free come next year for the first time in my lifetime.
