Membership at this time of the year is surely going to be higher than in previous seasons due to more people finding out and opting for the Bulldog for Life scheduled payments.

Is this the third or fourth season it has been in effect? But it is a good point you raise.

Either way not a bad start.

Re: Membership Numbers 2012

It's an interesting thought indeed, I would think that most of these early numbers are people that like it easy and automatically renew.

The real test will come in Feb when the pre season stuff starts, No Rocket or Hall whos going to get the media attention and keep us in the papers, after a poor season last year the dogs need to come out of the blocks firing on win games.

Not come out in losing games and say they are getting use to a new game plan.

Maybe they've started signing people up for it regardless. I didn't become a bulldog for life but it didn't stop them from charging me for the membership.

Fair point. Our 2010 annual report stated that the number of Bulldog for Life members was 11455. The 2011 version says 12504.

Of course some may have opted out and some others who have now signed up for the Life program may have have manually renewed by the equivalent time last year. Overall we are probably tracking identically to last season.

This would not be a bad result, after you consider the season and the changes to personal.

That to me is very impressive how does it equate to the same time last year though ????

Looks like lots of families getting membership for Christmas.

Website is today showing 19878.

At 31/1/11 the comparable figure was 20951.

The increase since just before Christmas is very poor and if this rate continues we will finish way below last year's figure.

At this time last year many had us favourites for the GF so it may have made some super eager to fill in their forms. Hopefully some are just being slow, not off the wagon.

Re: Membership Numbers 2012

Membership total on website today (9/3/12) is 23698.

On the same date in 2011 it was 25143.

Encouragingly though, daily increases have picked up as they seemed pretty slow in January/February.
