    Re: What is wrong with our Supporters

    Membership now close to 23,000, but the club is still hunting down 8000 members from last year that haven't signed up yet. Three weeks to go for the start of the season, where are they? Will they sign up?

      If it was only a couple of thousand it wouldn't be too bad but eight thousand sounds a hell of a lot.
      I wonder however, if this is not just another ploy by the club to try and give an impression to those 50/50 supporters that they are in someways struggling.
      I still think we will finish a couple of thousand short of the mark and then if we miss the balancing the books I'm sure Rose or Smorgon will highlight the missing members.

        We would have sold quite a bit today at the Family Day and we will get that influx come Round 1 before the first game, I think we will come very close to the Target by the time the Membership comes to a close for this season.

          They were very busy weren't they? The turnout was far bigger than the last two years and while the weather might have played a small part in that it was the biggest day I have seen there.

            I heard we sold about 800 memberships yesterday.

            That was 3rd hand news though.


            It was great to see so many people and what about all those kids running around in bulldog colours. Very encouraging for the future.

              Yes it was the biggest day that I have been to and we go every year. Very hard to get a bite to eat and also hard to get signatures from the senior players (too many people) and yes, great to see so many kids in their bulldog gear.

                800 is sensational. The club would be over the top with that sort of response.
                Perhaps the 32,000 challenge is within reach.

                  From the official Bulldogs website

                  "The 2007 Community Festival and Family Day was bigger and better than ever before with 410 people signing up to become Bulldogs members, taking the tally to 23,300 – 6,000 more memberships than this time in 2006.

                  At least 7,000 members are yet to renew so ‘dob in a dog’ and sign up a lost dog "

                    30,000 is looking pretty comfortable now. Never thought I would see the day...and I'm sure others have felt even more so. Amazing stuff.
                    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                      It is great, good to keep seeing that figure rising and rising, I am going to add one or two more to the total by purchasing a Bulldog Backyard Package as they say every little bit more helps.

                        I'm one of those 7,000 - I wonder if the club has considered that some of us might be pissed off with it?

                        I'll renew my donation, but I'm in no great hurry.

                                Apart from being a pretty ordinary website (besides isn't it run by the AFL) what else is there to be pissed off about.
