Davo, incase you missed it - rbs posted an update coming straight from the Mariners. They have just hit 4k:





All good - yeah, was just wondering. I'm glad that you do, do it, for the reasons you gave - good point of comparison and ofcourse with our charts we can add all sorts of additional measures, in regards to how they are tracking, as you have done. :)

Thanks mate

Wanderers 16,608

The latest figures, via http://www.A-League.com.au/membership:

would be nice if everyone rised, so clubs can have a long term future

September 23, 2015

Adelaide United: 6,242 (+2% on this time last season)
Brisbane Roar: 3,638 (-63.7%)
Central Coast Mariners: 3,646 (-11%)
Melbourne City: 6,603 (-16.65%)
Melbourne Victory: 23,478 (+22.7%)
Newcastle Jets: 6,712 (-11%)

Total as of 23/9/2015 = 84, 237 (-2.45%)

A-League clubs overall aren't tracking soo badly now - the margin is tight overall and those within 15% of last season, that's within reasonable and the lead up to Round 1 surge will see a larger increase for clubs in the coming weeks. It's actually amazing the league is doing soo well, largely due to Victory, WSW and SFC following up well, due to success last season and/or fan loyalty/demand. Most clubs are there abouts with last season and Jets would be much closer, one suspects, if not for their delayed start - their membership count quite impressive now, perhaps as fans respond to the rejuvenated atmosphere under the FFA administration and Miller's regime. People have already discussed how 'Villa-Hype' measurably added an insta-hit of 1k members and that certainly seems to be the case, given how City are tracking minus that stimulus. Roar and their extenuating, unfortunate, turmoil has obviously affected and that's the only real differential. If not, then the league might be much closer to 90k by now and actually tracking ahead of this point last season.

So no-need for all the scaremongering - given circumstances, the league is doing well. =d>

As a Melbourne City member who follows our club closely, Id agree that the Villa hype did have a massive affect on our memberships last season..
So If anyone has the figures of about this time in 2013 id love to see how we are tracking vs the then heart membership #'s.

Has the HAL target dropped from 135k, to 130k, down to 125k ??

Pretty sure it started at 130k and then dropped to 125k. Can't remember a 135k figure. Could be wrong though.

Would be an achievement to replicate last seasons numbers let alone beat them

If we get within 90% of last year i will be really happy.

I thought someone on here said that the Mariners were now over 4000??

They were at 4000 on Friday. There's something odd going on with the tally.

Victory has passed 24,000 members.

Greatest club in the world.

Victory have sold out of reserved seat memberships and not a murmur on here. Only negative stories, it seems...

MVFC per Twitter - 24,082 as of today.

We'll hit 25,000 before the season starts it seems!

I really do hope the Bakries get the boot otherwise this seasons attendances for Brisbane could be embarrassing.

Don't disagree. But unless we hear something different at the fan forum on Wednesday night the Bakries look to be sticking it out for one more season. If that happens, as looks likely, I think memberships will stay way down (probably below 5,000) but game day attendances will depend on performances and results which, unless the Bakries invest in players, will be difficult with a squad that is 4-5 players short in numbers compared to its competitors (in fact at the moments it's one short of the minimum requirement which will be resolved if Corona has indeed signed for Roar).

Maclaren to save the day, I reckon.

Hopefully once Newcastle is sold the FFA will take action. But it might be too late by then.

I heard they want to build a Melbourne victory mega super stadium

Really?

Victory Park? Capacity 40k? Maybe one day.

Although if the sport continues to grow like this, I can see it happening long-term.

"Thompson Park" or "Muscat Park"

Melbourne Combined: 30,351
Sydney Combined: 26,679


WE DA BEST \:d/ \:d/

Plus City should still have more growth this season.
It'll all change once the Wanderers get a bigger stadium, they'll gain an extra 5000-10000 members.
As long as they all keep growing, that's the main thing.
