2008 MEMBERSHIP - TALLY- 30,554

[gO.SainTs]

I rang up to get a new lanyard, because it broke, they said there are around 22,000 members now

[saintbrat]

thanks gosaints- I imagine that may happen a bit, but holder is solid.

[Go Sainters Go]

Official numbers from the Club today - 20,579 - would love to know where the 22,000 came from.

[i_luv_nick_riewoldt]

well if it is 22,000 its seems to be gaining momentum just before the start of the season.

Go Sainters Go, the club might not of had the sign updated? Apart from that i have no idea, how the figures can be so different.

[saintbrat]

the official figure updated within past 48 hous on site is 20,260

maybe the person reading the numbers saw the 2 and then the 2 and just though 22.

not really far off if you count 1,500 people

[saintbrat]

tally goes faster than the tech guys can keep up=-
21,715 on the tally ticker on home page
so 5 more during the day and then what ever sold last night.

[riccardo]

You can add one more to the list now.

Pay day today, so I've renewed online. Got my card, and lanyard, but do we get a pin and bumper sticker this year, too?

Must say its a brilliant idea sending out the cards as a spur to renew.

[Go Sainters Go]

Sign on Membership desk shows 22,179 members as at today.

Has anyone received their membership cards yet? I'm in Melbourne and renewed mine online (concession 11) in late November but have yet to receive anything in the mail - starting to get a bit worried..

It's been said quite a few times that they were sending them out in mid-February. Therefore they've only recently started sending them out but it could take up to two weeks to be delivered. Don't worry, very few people have them yet. You should get it before round 1 though. Shouldn't be much more than a week or two now.

[ThomasR]

Okay, thanks.. just reading posts above it seemed as if they had already been sent

[saint66au]

22,655 as of 9am this morning

[Oh When the Saints]

2,000 ahead of this time last year, and 1200 ahead of this time in 2006 when we had our record membership.

Bodes well.

I just got this emailed to me which im sure all you other members either already have or will get soon.


2008 Membership cards and packs have begun to be mailed this week, so keep an eye out for yours in the mail shortly! Please be advised that it can take up to 2 weeks for delivery, so please be patient if yours doesn't arrive straight away. Please also note that that cards are sent out individually and not in family/household batches.

Our current membership total as of this morning is 22,655 so we would like to thank you for your contribution to this and ask you to help us keep it moving up by encouraging friends and family who have not yet joined to do so.

Your Member's only scarf (and cap for Social Club & Reserved Seat members!) is now available for collection. These can be picked up from our membership marquees on match day or our upcoming Saints Family Day at Frankston Park, however to avoid any possible queues we suggest you collect from our membership counter at Linen House Oval, Moorabbin. You must bring your voucher that will arrive with your membership card to redeem your scarf and cap and to further reduce your wait time, please fill in your name and member ID beforehand.

Footy is back this week with our first NAB Cup game on Friday at Telstra Dome! As a member you will NOT gain entry with your 2008 Saints membership card. Tickets can be purchased through the Ticketmaster network at any of their outlets, by visiting ticketmaster.com.au or calling 1300 136 122.

great work sainters- keep it going- lets get beyond the expected
for comparison to other years

http://westofmoorabbin.com/membership.html

now nearly 2,000 ahead of the record year.

[Go Sainters Go]

Official numbers at membership desk topday, Friday is 23,804.
Keep 'em rolling!

[saintbrat]

thanks go sainters go

[saint66au]

If you extrapolate the current figures (looks like are averaging around 200 members/day) we are on course for 29-30,000 Members by Round 1

Last year we picked up around 3,000 Members between Round 1 and the cutoff date...so we are on record membership pace

At this stage Id take 32-33,000 as a minimum number...a good preseason showing and/or a good start to the season (neither of which we had last year) would take us near 35,000 I reckon
