Sauce?

this guy...... looking back on it not the best of sources.

I'm pretty sure it would have been closer to 6000.

WS 400

Assuming the article was correct, 400 were sold which was a 25% increase on the total thus they have sold 2000 in total.

Doesn't seem quite right to be though because 2 and a half weeks ago we were told they were getting up towards 2000. Which selling 400 in 2 days doesn't seem accurate then.

Ohhh fuck my bad, feel like a idiot>.<

western sydney wanderers are going to have a massive increase in memberships from last season

You're hilarious, did you think of that yourself?
Compared to the team they are 'replacing' GCU, I am expecting the attendance/membership-ST KPI to get a significant boost this year. Keep trying News Limited, your dirty tricks campaign isn't going to work.

very true

i am glad someone agrees with me:d i did think of it myself it was the proudest moment of my life

so far the entire football community has done well to combat some ridiculous articles recently, if we got worse than GGU i think football has no hope :p

Haven't got any numbers, but have heard there's a huge new member increase at the Roar - people that have never been members before that are hopping on board. Good sign if true.

Newcastle up to 8130, they seemed like they were gong to easily pass their 11000 goal and now they are only getting 10 memberships a day. What happened to them?

Also I keep checking twitter and fb but can't find anything on membership numbers on any club other than Newcastle and Victory, incase i missed something on fb or twitter or maybe even an article post it in this thread with a source.

Heart up to 3650, hope we can get up past 6000 before the season starts

well you have added 150 in 2 weeks, think you may struggle to get another 2000 odd in 5 weeks

I'd say that existing members rushed it to lock in their previous years seating, which we had to do before the end of July. Most of the prime seats in centre field are taken and people won't want to lose them.

A couple of thousand members failed to renew or didn't love their seats enough to renew before the exclusivity period ended. There may be a small rush before the season starts but the 11,000 target will be a stretch.

There has really been nothing exciting to attract the casual person to invest in a membership this pre-season. Last year they promised the world and the Jets failed to deliver. This year they haven't promised anything and haven't invested in quality experienced players so a drop in memberships would not be surprising.

The signing of a quality striker will be needed to change people's minds.

Now that you point that out I'm thinking the number was rounded up to the nearest "500" in the article I used since they only announced only a couple days earlier we were on 3300, and if we added 200 in 2 days, how did we only add 150 in two weeks?

So I'm gonna guess it more like 350 in 2 weeks. nonetheless I get your point, and if i am right, at this rate we should only get around 4,500. Hopefully a bit more buzz around the heart can be created before the season starts and hopefully we can get close to 5000.

Are we down on last years memberships all across the board?

The Foxsports article a couple of weeks ago said we were up compared to that stage the previous season.

We as in the whole league?

Ya

As much as people don't want to admit it, IMO both the Melbourne clubs memberships will suffer purely because of the fact that Harry Kewell is not there.

And even bigger-the King who was a long term crowd fave.

Sydney apparently had an increase of 15% on memberships today.

On SBS World News Australia, Mike Tomalaris reported season tickets sales jumped from 50 to 500.

Were they really that low yesterday? How long have they been out for? Or are Sydney FC members notoriously late when renewing memberships?

That doesn't sound right.

I am guessing they mean they were getting on average 50 people a day signing up for the past few days then it has jumped to 500 signing up in a day

Maybe he meant per day??

That certainly sounds more likely.

3:30 onwards

That means before today, given the 5 memberships I purchased, I had 10% of SFC's total memberships. Boom. \:d/

But, yes, that's wrong. I know at least 15-20 members on top of my 5. So unless I know 50% of members the replies are correct.

If it was 500 in a day and that's 15% of memberships, that would put us at about 3500 memberships. Sounds more likely.

In hindsight, I didn't think it through at all. :oops: :oops: :oops:
