Did anybody else hear an advertorial on SEN (Hungry for Sport) this morning where KB announced that Nathan Brown and Ben Cosins would be at Rebel @ Highpoint tonight between 6-7pm?

The intereting thing to me, and maybe I misheard it?, was he seemed to say that if you bought a Tigers jumper you would also get free of charge a Richmond 11 game Junior Membership Ticket.

If what I heard is accurate is this just another way to make these membership totals meaningless statistics?

I repeat my observation that the only really meainingful figure is the total $ membership sales brings in and not the total # of memberships sold/given away.

I heard that ad last week too
and agree

But am in the process of donating some kids memberships myself

all helps and if it gets kids to support the Saints worth a try.

I'm not downplaying the worth of geting kids involved, just trying to point out the futility in comparing membership totals between Clubs when nobody has any idea what type of memberships are being included by the individual Clubs in their totals.

Here is a graph of our membership as reported on the first page. Looks pretty good, with the exception of the start of the year, memberships seem to be ramping up recently, lets hope it continues with our good form.

Go Saints!

I believe that membership is now at the 30,400 mark (or so we were told by Nettlefold in the pre-match speech in the accolade room today). Keep it going Saints supporters!

plus one more come monday
im upgrading to an 11 gamer and social club.
the direct deposit thing is just too easy

VietNam_Saint · Sun 31 May 2009 2:15pm

I upgraded my 11 gamer a few weeks ago to include the Social Club.

Would be interesting to know how many more have done the same ??

What is the cap on Social Club and is there any way of knowing what the numbers are ?

the cap is 11,500 and I know of a couple who have upgraded.

cap last year was 8,000 and to my knowledge we never got close-

saintbrat · Post: # 749695Post **saintbrat** » Mon 01 Jun 2009 6:02pm

almost 500 per week- if we could get a few hundred per week till close of tallying would be good- we may almost get that 32,000.

Well the Fid Family are now Social Club members...

I have been told there is only about 1,000 spots left and then there will have to be a waiting list.

VietNam_Saint · Tue 02 Jun 2009 6:12pm

Great Stuff , which means an added monetary windfall for the club ,,

obviously thereby allowing us to pay for a few more games at the $Jihad$.

Was it 88,000 over 3 home games and we wrote a cheque for $120,000

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Legendary · Post: # 750289Post **Legendary** » Tue 02 Jun 2009 6:24pm

I dare say the club would have budgeted for 30,500 members ... so if we can get 1000-1500 ahead of that, then it's an extra $150k in the club's pocket.

Should hopefully help offset some of the costs of playing at Etihad.

Plus the increase in the Social Club Membership....

Mr Magic · Post: # 750324Post **Mr Magic** » Tue 02 Jun 2009 7:18pm

I think they budgeted for even less members than 30k.

I'm pretty sure that the uptake of Social CLub Memberships to retain Lvl2 reserved seats has actually been better than they expected.

I also think that on the other side of the equation they didn't expect EataTurd Stadium to do what they've done this year re 'stadium deals' and would have budgeted to make more money from game attendances than what they're actually receiving/paying.

I think there may well be a conversation between all the tennant CLubs and the AFL at the end of the year re compensation over the 'fight'.

Last year we had around 8,500 Social Club members so if we reach the 11,000 cap you're looking at another $300,000 into the clubs coffers.

I know it's presumptuous but if the club were to do some more advertising before the June 30 membership deadline and make a point of emphasising the access to finals tickets it might sell a few more as well.

I still think it's a disappointing figure and it's taken a record equalling start to the season to get it up to where it is today.

i would assume it would depend if people are buying the $55 membership (3 games) or the $170
