Adelaide passed 8000 members

Pretty much sums it up.

I think they have already reached their cap for AAMI, but they have no cap for Etihad, so technically speaking they could sell another 10k, but that won't happen because they only have a selected amount of games left at etihad so not much point taking up memberships around at this stage i wouldn't imagine.

Is the membership cap at 27,000 for you guys?

Wellington Phoenix - 4400...membership record for them

WSW 17,673.

MV 26663

Us > whoever you support.

3 of the 4 clubs playing out of AAMI are quite happy with the size of the ground. It's a problem for us but the right decision by the government IMO.

As for memberships, I believe they'll keep selling GA memberships throughout the season.

The Wikipedia information is misleading.
The stadium was delayed as the Brumby govt needed Melb to sign on as a tenant. Melb wanted a 40K+ capacity. The Brumby govt compromised with 31K from 20K. The chickens are coming home to roost.

The decision to reduce the stadium capacity to 31K, from the 40K+ that Melbourne management wanted, was from John Brumby's government

John Brumby made the contract with Etihad/AFL in regards to stadia size approx 10 years before he was Premier?

Cool story bro!

Can Melbourne continue to sell any form of membership after the Etihad games are over?
AAMI really should have been 40K - you can blame John Brumby

Still waiting on Sydney, Perth and Brisbane to update but either way i think we're getting very close to our total for this season. 5 of the clubs recorded less than 100 members each this past week, and that figure is only going to slow down in the coming 2-3 weeks. I think we'll probably total off at around 103k - 104k. It will result in a total 9% drop from last season. All in all not a bad result when you consider all the turmoil. To think that only a few years ago our total didn't even reach the 100k mark and that was even during good news period, so we've definitely made ground.

Next season will be interesting. With some good news stories flowing in and perhaps a couple of marketable marquee players to boost the feel good news articles, we should see the membership figure closer up to the 120k mark. Assuming of course that we don't have unrest at more than one club (which is likely to happen to at least one club) and that we're still not dealing PFA issues nor Savethenix campaigns.

Waiting to see what happens but really can't see the likes of Piovacari, Holosko or Koren being resigned at their respective clubs, and now that there are 2 positions available for international marquees, I reckon we could see a real injection, at least from Melb City as they have LOTS of catching up to do.

Wanderers 17631 after Sunday's game.

They have all the potential in the world. This season is the best squad City-Heart has ever had.

Most of that is Mooy though.

Surely it's time that Melb City start doing some firing. Their aim was to reach 13k this season, looks like they will barely reach just over half that. Scott Munn surely has to go now. And JVS is proving to be just as inconsistent as last season. It's actually amazing how inconsistent they are.

Went to the game last night, and pretty sure they put up on the big screen that Victory had gone up to 26,538 members. I'm sure this number will come out today/tomorrow.

From the 30th of Oct:

That's because the a-league update sporadically. I use the figures that the club broadcasts, and the ffa slowly catch up.

Would dearly love to know if we are pulling shenanigans with our member count. Wouldn't surprise me to hear we're counting memberships given as part of the NPL juniors program.

Anyway, part of the reason those costs are so high is because they are for new memberships. Renewals get a decent discount on that. Like $295 -> $225

Either the Roar should be on 6,081 on this tally or they gave an incorrect figure the week before.

That is dated yesterday but interestingly enough Davo's tally has 1,000 more members?

As expected big jump from Brisbane which is good to see, but they will certainly won't get anywhere near the figure they got last year. On the plus side, they get more game day ticket buyers.

Only the phoenix didn't increase by more than 100 memberships this past week, and considering the news yesterday I severely doubt they will sell anymore.
