Well we've ticked over the 39k mark.

39,005 according to melbournefc.com.au

Within 141 of last year's record final total.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,346]

Do they still have the "Dob in a Demon" thing - I want to dob in my uncle who gave up his membership a couple of years back but still comes to games regularly on my wife's or sons ticket

Our other thread put us at 39,211 which we are still to reach but likely to pass by the weekend! (Nice to see our figures ahead of St. Kilda)

Here's the HS list just last december.  They confirm the AFL figure.

I think George's figure is likely wrong and that we've now passed last year's record.

Correct CBD.  Here is the club 'Thank You' saying 39,211  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2016-08-03/thankyou-members

It's a shame that we as MFC supporters have to worry about membership numbers, sponsors and gate receipts, wouldn't it be nice to only have to worry about wins and where we will finish on the ladder at the end of the season.

Yes Dante there is more than enough to worry about with the team.

Agreed bb - and far better than the alternative.

[Lucifers Hero 40,375]

We have set a NEW RECORD (I think).  Club website is saying 36,269.

Suspect a typo and they mean 39,269!!

That is 3+ months before the 39,211 record set last year at end of July.

So its a 7% increase on this time last year and 17% increase on same time 2015. 

@Dee Deewould you like to show the new milestone in the thread title, perhaps?

It's a new all-time membership record! A BIG thank you to our 39,269 members who have signed up this year!

[deebug 1,754]

Well done every body and thank you to those who have signed up. Go the mighty demons.

[demonique 314]

Just checked membership numbers just now and we appear to have lost 3000 members today !!! What the ? 

[CBDees 3,167]

Amazing way they announce it! Firstly they announce an increase of two additional members over two days (39,148 > 39,150) then they announce 3,000 resignations (down to 36,269)! You would think they could run to a proof-reader before they post! ?

[daisycutter 29,756]

from the mfc site right now.  seems they have fixed their little mis-kick from the backline

39269

[Deemented Are Go! 3,684]

They've got some serious issues down there at the website. Very amateurish

Yeah, this week is not going well, is it? An error a day just about. Even the MFC Goals from Round 4 were out of sync.

Glad to see the website is not making much of the membership record. Just a thank y'all tweet and on with the sales campaign. That's the way to handle it. Forty thou would be worth a bit more of a celebration though.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,250]

Currently at 39344. Three loses have cooled the ardor somewhat.

No reason why we can't clock over 40,000 before the weekend. Surely at least some of the 85,000 who attended Monday night will have signed up on the day (and their figures have not filtered through yet)!  Expect a boost at the end of today when they are added to the total.

Picking up 600+ this week might be a bridge too far!
