Melbourne Supporters Pay Up

good to see everyone is becoming a member for 2009 , keep it coming

[Jaded No More 59,138]

Great to hear that people are jumping on board early. It's never good to be doing those last-minute desperation campaigns to pull us over our target.

Hopefully we can make it to 30,000 this year.

[H_T 2,941]

I think we can achieve 32,000 this coming season.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,410]

I think we can achieve 32,000 this coming season.

And unlike North, 25% of those members won't be dogs, cats and sympathetic cheque books.

[Gorgoroth 12,361]

Thats great for Dec, 12, 000! Well done to all who have got their memberships early, I hope more get their pre xmas, so by xmas we have 15k.

I can't see the issue with cat + dogs as it is all money to the club. Below is one of our 2 newist members from last week!!!!!

It's not hopefully, we need to get to 30,000. That what the club has apparently budgeted for. We we can definately do it, those who are on the fence need to get on board, because if they are waiting for the team to become strong before signing up then we may not be around for long enough!

Well done to all those in the membership department.

Unborn children probably make up our highest percentage of junior membership, because at that stage of their life they really don't know any better and have little choice but to be a Melbourne member

Personally I think will nudge 40,000 members this year. Yes, some of those will be sympathisers, but that's fine, one in all in I say. After that we'll hopefully start to sell memberships on our performances.

Absolutely Roost!

Though we'll need it to cover the cost of Bennel

nice

I think we'll get over 35K at least, judging by the supporters I've spoken to who are usually apathetic but have now been prompted to sign up by our plight.

That would be closer to impossible than a miracle. Wouldn't it be great though. It would make it hard for the AFL to ignore us.

North have got 40k plus members and the AFL takes them only a little more seriously than MFC.

I hope when MFC gets 40+k members I hope it is sustainable and not a one off like North.

[45HG 1,539]

I wonder where they're at with their numbers.

Checking their website now, very odd that it's still "kangaroos.com.au." I'd have thought they'd change that.

North got 34,000 members last year, not 40k<.

And many of them were sympathy members. North did well to get from 21,000 members to 34,000 members in a season, the true test is if they can sustain it.

Past 13,000 when i rung the club this morning

Great effort so far. There should be a huge advertisement in THE AGE every day or weekend!

Great Idea and have it so it changes like the membership level on the MFC website. Make the new members feel like they are making a daily/weekly difference.

building momentum towards 2009

I have signed my whole family of 6 on this year.

[Roost It 1,434]

'I want some of what he's having'.

It's just life. Slow down, walk out side(preferably not on a bust street),smile and just suck it in.

Don't forget to breathe out at the end

Ditto. Not 6 though. 5.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,410]

According to their website, North are sitting on 2,800.

Combine a poor 2008 finish and the loss of sympathisers and I doubt they'll crack 30,000 next year.

I signed myself up last week. Dad's going to take some convincing though..

and signed my rabbit up for his third consecutive year. He's pumped!
