2021 Western Bulldogs Membership Thread

[GVGjr]

Great effort by the club. Could see us possibly hitting 50K before the memberships cut off. If not we will hit it next season. If COVID wasn't a thing I have no doubt we would have gone past 50,000 already.

Those are all paying members too. Other clubs like Essendon, Carlton and even St Kilda now have been giving out free memberships to existing members as a marketing ploy.

I agree it's a great effort by the club no doubt but even more so its a magnificent effort and resilience by our supporters right across the country for signing up during what would be challenging times for so many.

Of course given our fast start to the season there is obviously a few jumping on to ensure finals tickets can be had.

Gordo and the team really set us up to be a force in this competition and we should all be proud Bulldogs supporters.

Agree, growing up it was something almost to be embarrassed about being a Dogs fan.

I'd never proudly wear my Dogs gear as a kid to school lest I be mocked by the hoards of Dons, Tigers, Pies kids who'd take some obscene pleasure from our lack of success.

What we've achieved since probably 97 has completely turned that around and when I talk to kids now there's nothing but respect for the club as a recent premier and a team you don't look forward to playing.

Smorgan, Gordon and all involved with their time in charge deserve massive praise as do the loyal supporters of course.

Hopefully our new El Presidente can keep the momentum going for a long while yet.

This is how Essendon inflate their numbers:

So Essendon have been advertising $1 memberships.

So Essendon have been advertising $1 memberships.

They’ve been giving them away since the jab-jab saga to pretend they’re still a big club. At least they’re now getting $1.

$1 is way over priced if you ask me.

Went past the Whitten Oval today and snapped this photo. Looks like we currently have 45,447 members.

Do you spend your weekend driving past the ground?

Yeah lately I have been going there BAD Only driving around at the moment in the car. Will hit the pubs again soon.

I think it's time to upgrade the membership tracker board. This one feels pretty Div 5 Amateurs.

They used to have the membership tally on the Doggies website. If you call the membership department I think they can also give you the figure.

I prefer a drive by photo

I just think the board could be a little more impressive than A3 poster in the bedroom window. Maybe attached to the side of the building? Maybe a sign with a digital display that can be updated easily?

Things like this have a weird marketing pull- reminds/guilts people to sign/uprenew, reminds people to hassle people to sign up/renew, etc etc etc.

Anyone else still awaiting their membership pack?

Maybe it’s time to accept you are not a member?

Get Eastie to ring up for you?

I get the membership emails, and calls to buy raffle tickets. In fact the poor lady who called me asking to buy raffle tickets last week didn't know what to say when I asked that if we could discuss the lack of membership pack before we got onto the topic of raffle tickets.....
