For all the talk about how the poor season in 2019 damaged membership sales - and this message was reinforced by Gary Pert at the AGM - there is no evidence to support that if the records on here are correct. According to George's numbers 2019 was our best year (at least in the past five) for memberships sold after April 1. In 2015 we went from 32,001 on April 1 to a final 35,911, an increase of 3,592. Last year the increase in the corresponding period was 6,909 coming from 45,537 on April 1 to 52,446 at the finish. That's a bigger number than In our finals year 2018. In 2016, '17 and '18 the increases in that period were 3,676, 3,548 and 5,419. If the club is right and we would have made 60,000 last year with a strong on-field performance there must be more to the numbers than is obvious. The club would know for example how many dropped off and how many outright new members there were. But right now it looks like the club's kidding itself.
