40k Members in 2014

[Sir Why You Little 35,320]

I don't want them but unfortunately the club needs them

What??

We need every member we can get. How else do you expect to fill the 'G??

[rpfc 27,673]

are we already able to sign? i haven't seen anything on the club's site saying so.

Membership site up and running tomorrow according to MFC twitter. The hotline was also working last week.

People were signing up in droves apparently.

[Jaded No More 59,791]

Waiting for my renewal notice.

I have spoken to a handful of supporters over the weekend who said they'll re-join, even though they swore after round 23 that they've had enough and are giving up their memberships.

We've just gone from struggling for 25k members to probably pushing 40k.

A few good early wins, or some Jesse Hogan magic, and maybe we can push 42-43k.

Oh Paul Roos!

We were are 33k this year, after a 5 year high of 36k.

40k is a possibility, but I'd be happy with just covering the short-fall this season.

Ps, struggling for 25k?

I thought we got close to 38/39k a few years ago when we were aiming for 40k during Jimmy's time!

We need to aim for at least 40k again and as I've said previously, if the stars align we should be able to hit around 45k.

We (the club) need the money and the supporter base!

I'm not disputing how much the club needs the supporter base.

But membership grew by around 10% (pa) from 2008 when it was at 29k and peaked in 2011 at 36k, then rallied slightly and dropped down to this years 33k.

I thought Jim was aiming for consecutive growth and to get above 33k.

Aim high, but realistically the club has to win back the 3k members they lost this year, let alone an additional 4k of members. All I know is that there is a direct positive correlation between results and memberships.

Roos alone should raise membership numbers - but they need to show some results to get above the 40k bracket.
