It wil be interesting to see how many packages are upgraded considering availability of tickets late in the finals series.

Unfortunately due to financial restrictions I can only afford to pay for a season ticket membership, but I have been working non stop to try and get as many people to sign up as I can, but because I live in the eastern suburbs progress has been slow. Though I have manged to convert some of my non football supporting freinds.

Great work HAB54. We are certainly few and far between out here in the east.

Im on an 11 game membership..

But right now the only benefit in upgrading would be the grand final allocation...

But with Away games..we have one against the Roos @ the dome which is replacement anyway..the rest are interstate..so its quite pointless at this stage

Good on you. You just never know what you can do if you don't try. I always wear my bulldogs cap whilst shopping at The Glen or Forest Hill intentionally. It's amazing how many conversations I have had as a result of the cap with people. Even with strangers I suggest they sign up.....not sure of the conversion....but you have to try!

Just signed my wife up to a membership (incl social membership) - whilst not necessarily an avid supporter she knows that she is on a good thing whenever the dogs win.

yeah that's the one.

The local footy club (syndal tally-ho) used to wear footscray jumpers when i was in high school. Unfortunately i played for brentwood, we had the pleasure of wearing a purple and green vertical strips top with black shorts and purple and green hooped socks.
Classy look.

From Bulldogs Website:

"Today is the final day to ensure your membership will count in the Club’s Official Match Day Members total. As at close of business on Friday, the Club’s 2008 total stood at 28,004 – 721 short of last year’s record membership total of 28,725. The Club still has over 4,000 unrenewed members from 2007."
Pretty close to last year now, alot closer than I thought it would be. However, I bet GF allocation is up, which means membership revenue will be way up from last year

Bulldogs' grand final lure sparks membership rush
Mark Stevens | July 02, 2008 12:00am

Printer friendly Text size+- RODNEY Eade and his players have so far managed to keep a lid on it, but Western Bulldogs fans are daring to dream. The Bulldogs have been inundated by standard members wanting to upgrade their packages to guarantee a Grand Final ticket.

In the past six business days 3000 excited Dogs fans have committed to an upgrade to social-club status.

Given the upgrade for a routine 11-game membership costs $110, the Dogs have pocketed more than $300,000 from the rush.

The upgrades started after the Dogs' 10-point win against Collingwood in Round 13 and have continued since Saturday night's 54-point disposal of Port Adelaide.

Bulldogs chief executive Campbell Rose said yesterday the deadline for new members and upgrades had been extended, with the approval of the AFL.

Membership will remain open until the Dogs' Grand Final allocation is exhausted, with Rose urging supporters to sign up or upgrade.

"I don't think our supporters want to find themselves missing out after such a long period of time," Rose said.

"It's great and very encouraging, and we are looking forward to beating our membership target.

"However, we've still got eight games to go and we've still got a finals series to get through . . . we are not getting ahead of ourselves within the club."

The Dogs still have significant capacity left under their Grand Final allocation, despite processing a staggering 1000 upgrades on Monday.

If a standard member upgrades to social club membership, access to a Grand Final ticket is a lock -- no questions asked.

It means the whole configuration of the Dogs' membership has shifted.

"We're nearing clubs like Collingwood who have 10,000 social club members," Bulldogs membership manager Dino Imbriano said.

"The way we're going, we'll be there in a few weeks. That would have been unthinkable to some not that long ago."

The Bulldogs' success is starting to filter through to new membership sales as well.

They have sold almost 500 fresh memberships since Friday, taking the total to 28,202 - now less than 500 behind last year's club record.

"It is a tribute to our membership team, led by Dino," Rose said.

The Bulldogs, top of the ladder midway through Round 14, have not played on the last Saturday in September since 1961.

They have made only one other Grand Final appearance, winning the premiership against Melbourne in 1954.

In 1997 the Dogs lost a preliminary final to Adelaide by only three points after leading all day, robbing the public of a fairytale Grand Final against St Kilda.

This year the Dogs have won 12 of 14 games - the best start to a season in the club's history.

Good news - it just gets better and better!
