[Its Time for Another 4,287]

2 months ahead of last years tally although January is traditionally a slow month.

Thanks for collecting all that info, I T.

Hope it helps posters/readers do easy comparisons of trends and where we are at.

 

So according to LH's and I.T's excellent info and table we hit our current total sometime in week 4 of January this year and early March the year before. It will be interesting to see if we end up with significantly more members or people are just renewing earlier. Either way there is a fair bit of excitement out there for the 2017 Demons

[drdrake 3,187]

If you look at the historical data we get around 12,000 people join from Jan-June.  Hitting 27297 by end Nov is great, we should push above 30,000 prior to Christmas which really sets the club up to hit 40-45,000 for the year.  Lets say 42,500 an extra 3300 members or in revenue terms about 600K

I guess the worry there is that there may be a percentage of those  12,000 who normally join during the season proper have become enthusiastic and gotten in earlier than they normally would have...

I received the 2017 membership pack in the mail today.  I cannot wait for the season to start. Go Dees

Whilst you may well be right, that sure is a 'glass half empty' way of lookin at things. Come on, only positive vibes around here!

 

Until we come out and get slaughtered in round 1... Then yeh... Bring on the negativity.

Wondering if any of that is attributable to the additional excitement generated by the J.Lewis and Hibbard signings?

[Gorgoroth 13,017]

Recieved my package yesterday with my new hat and polo. Love the polo, only prob is that I've lost a lot of weight and it's now a tent...

tracking at almost Feb numbers from last year

We're pretty much on last year's tally for 1st week of Feb. At this rate we should certainly crack 30,000 prior to Christmas. Based on previous years rates of increase we are definitely going to crack 40000 this year and should be looking at somewhere around 43,000 or more.

[CBDees 3,167]

28,002 (and counting)! ?

40,000 will be broken this coming year.

If we get off to a good start, we'll give 45,000 a serious shake too

Wahoo best result Ever (So far !!) - Go Dee's!!!

Got an email from the Club today that if you renew today you could be one of ten to get an MFC cap. 

So I've renewed. Thought I should put it up here in case anyone else wants to go for a cap as well.

Personally I'd prefer a cap to a scarf. I have masses of them. I have raised this with the Club for years but they won't change. I don't know why they don't change it up a bit every few years. The Swans do caps instead of scarves.

it's a fair point it. caps would also be better advertising/branding because they are more likely to be worn and therefore seen on more occasions. people wear caps all year round and in many more situations.

And please IT if you do win one - and I hope you do- please, please wear it the right way round (you know, with the peak facing the front)!

I wish the club would issue a deerstalker.

Imagine the potential advertising on the flaps.
