    Re: Membership

    Club has posted 28450 matchday members and total members 34600 on official website, only 275 short of last year, and is it true the AFL has extended time for us to get more signed up? or is it just to upsize our current members for GF tickets?

    Re: Membership

    Just looking at our membership as posted on the official Bulldog website and although our membership is about 200 down on last year, I think we have raised more money in the coffers because people have upgraded for finals tickets, next year we will smash everything as far as records are concerned.

    I just don't get our supporters? I wonder if we had a lot of sympthy supporters and they have switched to North?
    I have a mate who is a Nth supporter and he has stopped buying his annual mambership and I can understand why. He has two young kids which he supports as his wife doesn't work. A membership sets him back $200 per year. He reckons he is better off pciking and choosing the games he goes to each year, since he doesn't have the time to go to all of them, and spending the cash on a Foxtel subscription which lets him watch/record the game. None of this helps Nth, but in the end you have to make ends meet.

    What I'm saying is that some people just can't afford it.

    Re: Membership

    The reason we got 39000 at lions game was due to the primary schools being invited along.
    One of those kids days.
    I think we have inherited 90% of the Sudanese community after that day, i made sure i said hi to them and said go doggies, great thing was they all had something red, white and blue what i saw.
    Get them young i say, and we won, so its all positive!

    the reason they all had bulldog colours ledge is that the club give them supporter packs but i noticed yesterday a lot more african people than usual wearing the red white and blue so a good effort to get a larger supporter base.
    Well done doggies

    The one thing which isnot meaningless is the number of adult members as this is the figure used to work out grand final allocations.

    It amazes me that both Sydney and Brisbane have the lowest memberships of any clubs, yet the AFL in its infinite wisdom want to put another team in their Rugby dominated state ... when will they realize that this is a bad idea ... I'm all for a Tassie team

    Yes Sydney is the interesting one. How long have they been in Sydney, they won a premiership, AFL pumped millions of dollars into them, yet they can only muster 26000 members. Of those I wonder how many in Melbourne?
