What are the latest figures on Membership? last number I heard was 26,000.

Also how did the big call up go last week (as shown on the footy show) what sort of numbers were pulled?

Full marks to the Kangaroos marketing staff.....

Have done extremely well in re-inventing the club!

The real test for North will be in the following years. I doubt they will be able to sustain those figures which arose from the desperate situation the were in. Many memebers would have more than one membership, people from other clubs have bought in (heard from many talkback callers). Time will tell.

Easy on praising North Melbourne's marketing.

About 5,000 of those memberships are 'statistically anomolous' children memberships.

In other words, not a big growth in adult members, just a whole lot of people signing up their kids as official members (and dogs, and turtles). It could go either way - those kids (and dogs and turtles) could hold on and become a boosted next generation of supporters and members, or the boost could just evaporate once the membership-buying from the "fightback" has subsided.

They haven't had anywhere near as much of a boost to attendences. It's a little worrying.

Meanwhile, what da farkn ell is going on at the Doggies?

If I'm reading that right, WE have just passed them for memberships, with one win for the season (and pre-season) compared to their loss-less run with exciting attacking football and a thrilling draw for spice.

All, up, we're doing better than I'd expected, almost matching last year's membership already, and our attendences haven't been too bad (still on 30,000 average after three games, despite two low-drawing opponents, Doggies and Freo).

Should look a little healthier after the Hawks game, too. Special Bonus for round 9 - neither Melbourne (playing at AAMI) nor Hawthorn (playing at Aurora) play in Melbourne the previous week, plus theres the gap for the Origin game, so a lot of people will be hungry to get to a game.

Should be a good crowd. Let's hope we can put a good fight up over in Adelaide to keep the momentum going.

Sod the Kangaroos they should be in Queensland by now. I Hate 'em!!

Slightly OT - but I possess a North Membership (Also a Dees one of course) and will continue to purchase although I'm 100% Red & Blue and was filthy after our loss in Round 4.

North are a good club and part of the reason I bought the membership was that I wouldn't like it if the AFL tried to make such a move on us. The AFL's standover tactics sending out lies about the benefits of immediate expansion through their attack muppets Messrs Smith & Co in the media just reeked of arrogance and smacked of AD trying to create a legacy for himself (When did 2015 turn into 2011??).

Interestingly anyone notice the bottom two clubs (and the states they hail from) on the #2 post tally?

Back On Topic - our membership tally is impressive given our poor start and reputation for having fickle supporters. Hopefully will shut a few of the clowns in the media up.

Why would you waste your money? Melbourne membership numbers have been low for years, why not spend that spare cash on a second MELBOURNE membership? I did. Let North supporters worry about North, we have our own problems.

SYDNEY (28,764) 20,000

is this right? if sydney only have 20,000 members, how is a west sydney side going to go?

State loyalty is one thing, club loyalty is another.

If I ever buy another club's membership, aim carefully and take one shot.

[deanox 8,645]

i'd buy north before i bought 14 other clubs i reckon, but seriously. atm its prob us or them. and id rather it be them.

something has to give, and im all for saving ourselves, because i reckon if they could burn us they would too...

Demitriou wants the Kangaroos to survive in Melbourne ahead of the Dees. & He is a Nth Melb ex player..

If it's out of us & them, Demitiou would send us packing in a heartbeat, & your helping him.

AD has no sense of history. loathes us for being old. in his world the teams would all be "western suburbs combined timberwolves"; "northern heat"; "parramatta jazz". forget that we started this whole thing!

How about buying 2 Melbourne memberships instead. Screw North and look after your own backyard first!

Anyone know how the membership is going now?
