2009 Membership

[LostDoggy]

The Western Bulldogs are well on their way to 30,000 game day members in 2009; a big thank you to in excess 21,000 people who have already become a vital part of the Bulldogs faithful.

With a new major partner secured in Mission Foods, the development of Whitten Oval and a Brownlow Medallist there has never been a better time to show your true passion to the Red, White & Blue. With so many positive things happening both on and off the field, we are destined for more success - we want a Premiership and we want you there with us when we achieve our goal.

We are ready, our coaching staff are prepared and our players have shown their determination with their convincing round one win over Fremantle. Now it’s your turn to show the same commitment and get behind the Club in 2009 – are you with me?
Sign up NOW by calling 1300 GO DOGS (46 36 47) or click here.

Currently sits at 23,022

Well done to every one who has signed up, hopefully every gets on board soon.

It's just starting to drag along isn't it.
We would want to have a good sign up on Monday otherwise 28,000 is about all we will get. Perhaps the stimulus package might help some people sign up.

Re: 2009 Membership

You wonder what the figure would be if we'd lost the first 2 games. It get's a bit tiring as a fan, so you canimagine the club's frustration at this.

Get on board people (though I suspect I'm preaching to the mainly converted here)

Re: 2009 Membership

30,000 would be great...or even a bit more than last year..I dont understand what else (besides economic situation) would be stopping people joining - We showed what we got last year by coming 3rd and beating the premiers in H&A...2 Wins to start the season off, there's no better reason

It's still 1000 up on the same time last year.

But given the finish to last year and the two wins this year we should be well ahead of that.

This is the 2nd home game and I think the value of the membership will decline if people don't get on board now.

Re: 2009 Membership

Agree it is very disapointing with members being slow to join. The club, players coaches and admin are doing everything in their powers to move the club forward. Members however are very slow to join every year and wait to see if the team will perform before committing to the season - not good enough in my opinion! PS I am a signed up MEMBER FOR LIFE.

does anyone know what number of people the club budgets for to sign up on game day?

that way we can know if we are on track to get 30 000

Very hard to say. On a glorious day like today they would probably expect a few more tha normal.
I guess there is a very good reason but I still can't see why so many people wait until 2 or 3 home games into the season before they get their memberships. Perhaps it the promise of finals tickets if we are doing well but the value of the membership can't be there much after today's round.

Re: 2009 Membership

I've gotta say the membership information on the website is still a shambles. Last years PDF was so much clearer for inclusions etc

But comparing the end of 08 to 07 we should be streets ahead. Lets hope when the $900 cheques arrive the numbers spike.

I was at the tent today and it was a big line for membership today let me tell you!

I was watching that line from level 2. So many people started lining up just 40 minutes before they game and most wouldn't have got in much before 10 minutes into the first quarter.

I wouldn't be surprised if they signed up 350 people today. The was a steady stream of people from 12.30 onwards.
