Target 70,000

[Its Time for Another 4,298]

40,000 members prior to Round 1 is a great achievement!

Surely we're aiming at possibly signing up 50k by the cut off date?  It actually seems like a realistic target now.

In 2016 we set a membership record of 39,211. The hope was we’d get to 40,000 the next season. We’ve just hit 40,000 and it’s mid March. At the rate of increase in the last 2 weeks we’ll crack over 50,000. That was a dream just 3 years ago and the Club has only just reached finals for the first time. You can see that 60,000 doesn’t seem like such a pipe dream in the next couple of years.

60k is realistic in 2020 if we make finals again

70k might be a shot in 2020 if we win the premiership this year

I would be happy with 50k which is only about 11k to go so a couple of wins early should see us get to this milestone. 

50k needs to be our base minimum moving forward. 60k should be a longer term goal. 70k in the next 5-10 years would be an outstanding result.

Yeap, the Blues are at 56k already, a record for them.

IIRC they were around 55k last year... they may be like the mechanical hare at the dishlickers... tauntingly out of reach

I was just speaking to the membership team, apparently we are at about 41,140 as of this morning.

Should we win a flag anytime soon, i'd expect our membership to significantly drop the following year.

What % of the membership are 50+ years old? Most will suffer massive heart attacks after the siren. The rest of us will either drink ourselves to death or die from lack of sleep as a result of wayyyyy too much adrenaline.

Very happy to risk all of the above DD.

If I die at our winning Grand Final I have advised my fellow Dees tragics to go full “Weekend at Bernie’s” style with me for the duration of the celebrations.

The club should also look at single parent family packages

No. 

Winning consecutive games holds the key. 

People want to see solid results, not just promises

How bad must things be at the kennel? They are offering a free upgrade to a full club membership if a 3 game membership is bought.

Make a mockery of membership numbers, unless they are categorized.

Its almost worth buying one for the grannie access.

Now 43,829! 

This is approx 6,000 up on same time last year and a mere 400 short of our all time in July 2018.

We will smash 50,000!  Then how high?

I'm worried that Saturday's performance has held quite a few back from re-signing.

I think your heart has got the better of you LH, after a bad loss this weekend at the cattery we will struggle to get past 45000.
