Adelaide United: 6,118
Brisbane Roar: 10,024
Central Coast Mariners: 4,100
Melbourne City: 7,688
Melbourne Victory: 17,693
Newcastle Jets: 7,462
Perth Glory : 4,295
Sydney FC: 9,527
Wellington Phoenix: 2,846
Western Sydney Wanderers: 15,668

http://wanderers.memberhq.com.au/
http://www.membership.newcastlejets.com.au/
http://www.melbournevictory.com.au/
http://www.a-league.com.au/

Not big jumps by any stretch, club websites are usually more up to date as expected.

Unsure what to do with CCM numbers.... inclined to take FFA over club there....

Will pass last seasons starting total by the end of the week, one more victory update will almost cover it.

In other sports, Brisbane teams are generally shite so if a good Brisbane sport's team comes around, people would definitely jump on board. No surprise on Brisbane's membership tally.

If Jets get to 8k members I'll eat my hat

Brisbane's mega and lite memberships are now available..

https://www.roarmemberships.com.au/

Good value IMO

When I was renewing my membership a Roar official told me ,they were eliminating some seats so there would be less Platinum seats.This was an incentive to lock in seats early.

Wanderers have started contacting people of their waiting list offering upgrades to seated memberships.

Heads up - though I presume some may've noticed? The A-League Official Site tally has had it's weekly update today. I have trouble posting the image, but here's the link!

http://www.a-league.com.au/

Edit, seems they have an article/press release for every time they update/round up the latest tally? Here's their update summary:

Already posted it in this thread this morning mate.

Ah thanks Tambo, checked last page and saw your table again. :cool:

BTW Here's a dodgy paste job of their latest table:

Thoughts on growth/differential?

Believe it or not but the a-league site is actually constantly out of date. Even with today's update, for most clubs that provide their figures on their membership pages, have higher figures than what gets put up on the a-league site.

Eg Sydney FC, City, Jets and Wanderers.

This is absolute BS. Roar have been brilliant for the last 4 seasons and only now that they've got the pricing and repayments schedule just right have they cracked 10k members. Just being a great football team is no guarantee of increased membership sales. You'd think it would be but it's not a concrete correlation.

Adelaide United: 6,118
Brisbane Roar: 10,024
Central Coast Mariners: 4,100
Melbourne City: 7,695
Melbourne Victory: 17,693
Newcastle Jets: 7,477
Perth Glory : 4,295
Sydney FC: 9,527
Wellington Phoenix: 2,846
Western Sydney Wanderers: 15,773

Total = 85,548


Total as of 11/10/2013 = 86,352
Total as of 1/4/2014 = 94,520

You are right Davo, but sympathies with FFA - their update not a ticker like the clubs you mentioned, plus, like us, they have to rely on the weekly update from the less frequent updates/those who increase by less. Atleast there's a regular, reliable, update covering all the clubs now. But same time, we can have our obscure pre-season distraction/joy maintained via the more up-to-date figures from those individual clubs. :p

IF All the clubs had the tickers on their pages, or had the kind of rates of increase that warranted tickers (Clearly, understandably, Glory and Phoenix don't, it's clear now?), then A-League.com.au's update would be obsolete.

Flipside if the A-League site's figures were soo up to date, then our own tally's would become obsolete too. :o :p

So our tally's are the perfect third way - unifying them all! :cool:



As per usual it's not b/w and it's a combination of factors. The success and stable presence the last few seasons have re-built up the club's reputation - their attractive product on the park and ever more attractive brand off it, perhaps, due to the former. Their memberships nor crowds have not just surged over-night - though the relative increase is certainly a jump, they hit a record high of 8k or so last season, on the back of a campaign towards 10k members. And IIRC they hit a record high number of members the season before then too (6k something). So memberships have been tracking upwards last few seasons and especially the last couple. Their crowds too have been steadily growing since that temporary drop (Rise in memberships etc) and the resurgence since Ange era. Crowds have again been steadily upward past few seasons and IIRC, the last three have been 13k, 13k and 15k average!

So while they have indeed implemented some good initiatives for this season, it's still been on the back of a strong upward trend in growth. And that's what's soo pleasing - it's not a temporary boon, fad or whatever - it's following a trend and the rate has just increased due to better administrative, payment access measures tweaks etc.. as too it seems strategic focus on memberships going back to the last two seasons again. It's clearly more of a priority now, especially when you contrast to some other clubs and even Roar's earlier self - it's when you contrast that you really see the difference.

what the fuck is wrong with Sydney fc? this is embarrassing.

What? We're 400 behind the Roar and we didn't win a title last year. We also no longer have a big marquee, so the numbers are real and genuine supporters.

We're still on track to breaking our record.

We da best!

Are they above average?

Not sure, will check through the old pages. WIll take a while.

Well on track for highest ever membership number despite 4 seasons of mediocrity and no more "Del Piero bandwagoners" all you flogs kept crying on about.

Jog on numnuts.

Bit Harsh Mfrendin :lol: Sydney Fc only just cracked 10k members last year didn't they davo? sorry memory is bad. Sydney is really are only derby, so i guess he was showing some love ;)

re:


+

That 'Win $10k Draw' campaign has probably kicked in somewhat. Not too different from how Roar's $10kfor10k campaign (Every thousandth member would win $1k, the 7k member won a Spa bath!) kicked in last season, to lift them to a record 8k members or so! ;) FYI That's not a dig, these are just good examples of positive stimulus/gimmicks, to get the word-of-mouth, buzz out there and greater interest and commitment to signing on the dotted line. Not ONLY will you become a member, but you will be into the draw to win something!!

We're Aussies and we're suckers for this sort of thing! :p How many enter the Lotto every year? This way, you get something, the membership, and the odds are much higher with a smaller pool - win-win for those inclined this way?! :o :p
