And that's actual legit members, not " Mickey Mouse" $1.00 maybe we will, maybe we won't members. 

[rpfc 28,239]

We are about to have numbers that we got in June last year - we will easily get 40k and looking like 42k+ if we compete with Geelong and beat Freo and the Tigers at the G who knows where we will get to...

I understand that we will 'run out of people to sign up' but we are getting people out of the woodwork for the first time in a decade.

I don't think we know the numbers in the woodwork.

I imagine there will be quite a few, but we will need to perform well for an extended period of time before we lure them back.

Yes for them after decades of crap one swallow does not make it summer.

30 Minutes before the game there was a long line at the membership shed.

I have never seen that before, it will be interesting to see how many signed up this week.

I was at gate 3 handing out scarves. The line to the membership shed was 50 people lomg 10 minutes before the bounce. I have never been so busy handing out carves as this weekend. Josh Wagner was there to meet and greet ended up assisting us, as there were 5 lines of 10 deep members to claim a scarf. It was flat stick from 2pm right up to game time and more wins mean more members. Josh was awesome and the number of surprised looks on members faces when they saw who was processing their members card and handing out a scarf was fantastic.

Be interesting to know how many new or returning members we have already

My Guess 99% returning the rest new. 2019 after two power years are when new ones arrive.

old dee, is that you? Never thought I'd see you making a comment that suggests we'll have "two power years" in the near future.

LDC I know you are saying that with good humour however I am getting a bit annoyed.

IMO I have always said what I saw and we were terrible with a terrible list it was not rocket science to see it.

We now have a much better list that is going to improve, we are passed the easy beat stage.

I am now reflecting this improvement.

 People love jumping on the new up and comers so they can say I was there before they were good.

old dee, it seems I may have annoyed you and for that I apologise. Perhaps I'm just a little unsure how I'm meant to behave after a 2-0 (or as some in the media insist in saying "two and oh") start to the year. I'm not used to such optimism and bonhomie. Nevertheless, I trust we can continue our friendly banter whatever the remainder of 2017 and beyond delivers.

Never thought it would be any other way LDC and I did say I knew the spirit you said it in.

Onward and upward

38,554 and still climbing!

3000 more than 2016

&

6000 more than 2015

at the first week in April!

Updated figures for first week

[Sir Why You Little 36,918]

So that is half of what PJ originally talked about. 

Winning is the only way. 

Ugly or Sweet Victories matters not

[Ethan Tremblay 30,810]

Good to see it climbing at a steady rate. My concern was that it would slow down dramatically. My membership renewed automatically for the first time this season, I'm guessing others were in the same boat.

Edit - totally mis-read the info.  We are 1,000 members off our record, not from 40k.  Sorry all.

I think we should be thinking 45K now!

>40k would set a good foundation for the next few years. If we can get it right onfield we should look to consolidate that to 45k and eventually 50k over the next 5 years or so.

"39,255

Wiseblood has corrected his post, the figure was 38,255 and today at nearly 5pm it is still that number. (Just so we don't get over excited).

DIG, 45K is a long stretch for a club that reputedly had one of the lowest supporter bases 10 years ago and of course not much good news since then to boost it. 

I won't hold my breath, (mainly 'cos I worry I will jinx us), but 42K, should be possible this year.

 

[Eelesie 217]

Rates are slowing down now...

MEMBERS SIGNED UP FOR 2017

40k is still going to happen but 45 is a target for next year after a good year this year!
