Jets updated to 9849, very impressed that they're still ticking over.

That takes the total to 109K

Jerks: 9888.

Steve McGarry announced the club membership record before the last home game against Wellington.

Awesome, seems the club are headed in the right places off the field, aswell as on then! =d>

So close!!!

Granted memberships are cheaper than other HAL clubs but the level of support the Jerks receive still warrants a more professional and successful club

EDIT: Sorry not sure why the image is so large

Pv4 you sexy beast. You bought those memberships didnt you?7 clubs passed 10k.

The Pith coming first in both A & W leagues and playing some reasonable football this year in a major city hopefully will add more ... but it's a poor figure considering the population...

Said it once and ill say it again. Population means sweet fuck all. It's interest you are after in the end.

Must be getting mighty close to 110,000

This may well be confirmed come http://www.A-League.com.au's update, due this Wednesday/Thurs or so, or will be so come Davo's table update shortly after. Davo's table includes more up-to-date or 'different' figures shared by some clubs over their Social Media. Maybe some clubs include Pet Memberships and A-League.com.au doesn't or something or maybe the clubs are just that much more up-to-date. Either way, the league inching closer! TBH The league hitting 110k or exceeding 100k was never in-doubt, given both the gains/tracking from last season and especially combined with Roar's phenomenal, well organised, early growth/head-start!



TBH You are both right/not wrong and as always, the reasons can be complicated and tap into wider debate discussion A-League fans have had over this during earlier years, prior to Northern-states/League wide boom, these last 2-3 seasons. Perth just slow on the trend or the odd-man out in a way, but same token you both are a little harsh and Glory still has and always seemed to have had a solid base around 5k or so for quite some well, during even an earlier A-League time when both Roar and SFC were around or even below this figure.

Many Glory fans and others have just suggested that all Glory needs is some sustained success, making them not too different from other long struggling clubs. But same time they've had that solid base built on additional history and with some success now (hopefully) they can continue to build towards their own club record and push beyond and then we too can look forward to a Glory boon, just as we've seen Roar and AU have their boon, these last couple seasons. Hopefully Glory's time is on the horizon, on AND off the field.

Yeap, basically 110k now, or very, very close! Edit: Just a couple hundred off?! :o :cool:

I'm so happy with our progress. Snare some silverware and we could be headed for 10k for the first time next year!

:lol: I don't know what to do with all these membership scarves

Give them to the homeless. They can sell them for drugs.

CCM now at 5,973 - a new record:

That's absolutely fantastic.

Makes you wonder why all this relocation crap and play at NSO is even attempted. We get a record membership and we are playing really badly. Club is good shape if you ask me.

The main issues that he seems to go on about are around corporate support and the ability to continue to grow significantly.

I agree that CCM have done an amazing job with building the club to where it has today, in the face of many challenges in the limited market it has.

I don't think football matches should be played at NSO until a drop in pitch is added at the minimum, but even then the stadium is just not up to standard. Brookvale at least offers a better overall football experience for fans and players, but its location may be more of a limiting factor to many I would think.

Ultimately, It just comes across as wanting to strengthen the fundamentals, likely to ensure he can sell it for a bigger amount in a few years. It will look far better with a larger catchment area to potential new investors and the corporate market at that point. I can't see him staying on for the long haul.

Unbelievable only 10 memberships off from hitting the A-league target. Didn't think we would get there but the last couple of weeks have helped push it ever so close.

I think by tomorrow or Thursday the 110k target should be hit without issues.

Absolutely fantastic. A phenomenal achievement.

I'm also very sure that Newcastle have added numbers since.

http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/article/hyundai-a-league-memberships-smash-through-110k-mark/ajaq3wvxod5313okjz7pwc692

Perth Glory: 5,725, nice little filip

On the whole it is a great achievement. Even though clubs like Wellington and Perth in my opinion is still too low, it is great they too are improving and hopefully year after year we see a growth no matter how small.
Even Newcastle close to last season's numbers with the season they are having on and off the field is great, but again overall it's looking very good.

The strange thing for Perth is that the city does have an AFL-influenced membership culture.

Glory's most significant competitor, Perth Wildcats, have over 9,000 members now, for instance.

The evolution continues..

What are the prices like for memberships? If you continue playing well this season and have a finals run you could push for close to 10k next season.
