2009 Membership

Re: 2009 Membership

I think even Melbourne have more than 30,000, and they haven't even won a game in the last 12 years! I think it's a pretty poor effort.

True, but the AFL lets them count thousands of MCC Associate memberships as part of their official total. These cost only $50 each and provide no game day access and they should not be being included.

According to last year's annual reports of both clubs we had $1m more membership revenue than them and I reckon we can expect a similar difference this year.

Update

According to Smorgo, we only count the full memberships in our total whereas many clubs, like Collingwood, Hawks etc, also count the three game memberships and other types as well. He said if we did that we would be 30,000.

He also mentioned 6000 members haven't resigned this year yet.

We struggle to keep members every year it seems.

I have the same problem with my son. What's wrong with the younger generation? How could you possibly choose culture over footy?

Some parents have a lot to answer for!

That would seem to be a fairer way to compare how the Clubs are going with their memberships. Base it purely on reveue.

Why choose? It's not an either/or proposition.. one can love/be involved with both (Brett Lee being the exception), as many on WOOF can attest to.

The theme song isn't music?

Beside, there are a few music-fan types here who also happen to be intelligent posters, good looking, well hung and very charming. Cake & eat it too.

I don't fit any of those but I do like music and football...

I saw Mark Seymour of "The Hunnas" in a Dogs scarf carrying 3 beers at half time last week. About the only good part of the day. I would have said something to him but I was busy seething at the time.

I'm not especially charming, but I guess the rest is true ...
