Wanderers had 16.5k ticketed member and 2.4k non ticketed members last season. Like all other clubs in the League, Wanderers' average no show of members is around 25%. This is why in our second season we had sellouts virtually every game but had attendances around the 15k mark. This last season like all other clubs in a bad season we had a larger no show of members and of the 3.5k tickets that were available to supporter members and non members less and less were sold as the season went on.

Here:



First seen on the A-League website circa yesterday, late Tuesday 4th of August?! :-k

Fills-in your blanks for Roar and any other clubs too, Davo.

Interesting to see Glory near 4k - not going too badly, despite the controversy, disappointment and fall-out still lingering from last season.

Didnt do the numbers properly but i have about 60k just in my head.

That is actually not too bad. Hope a few of the stragglers pick it up (everyone bar MV & WSW).

Thanks for the laughs Davo.

''Sydney FC largest and most prestiges club in Australia'' ;) :lol: :lol:

No certainly not. If the option is there for an upgrade it should certainly be taken. My argument was just mainly on the fact that the size of the stadium last season would have played a minimal difference on the overall attendance figures. In saying that, if you have a stellar season and obviously play all games on the weekend you should really see it push closer to 15-16k easy.

A 5k - 10k stadium upgrade to both Parra and Adelaide would be ideal for the next phase of growth in our sport in the coming decade.

Anybody know how many members we had last year this far out from the season.

Oi davo. Can you highlight the updated member number each time you provide an update. Saves scrolling through the pages.

Love the work. <3

August 5 last year.

The biggest club in Australia are a bit behind despite relative success.

To be fair we started selling memberships six weeks later than usual because of updates to the website and processing system.

Pignata is certain we'll hit our target of 13,000 - which would be a record for us, with only MV and WSW ahead.

It's also worth remembering that aside from derbies if you're a Sydney fan you're guaranteed a seat at any home game because of the size of Allianz - whereas if you want to be certain of a ticket to a game at Parramatta or Swan Street you need a membership. That's the main reason why there's such a discrepancy between our membership numbers and our average attendances.

Just to add, or put into some context - During that period I think we were still reliant on collating those numbers from a variety of sources, including updates of quite varying frequency, from clubs? I don't think the FFA's http://www.A-League.com.au tally started appearing till much closer to season start, if not season start itself?

So, what I mean is, the numbers of Phoenix and Glory in particular may well have been a little greater than what we could find, August 5 last year. Granted, the most up-to-date numbers on that corresponding day last year may only have been a few hundred more or so perhaps? Can say the same for even AU and Mariners - such rounded numbers indicate estimates and usually already 'dated' figures. So basically, last season the A-League may also have been circa early 60ks for members, at true count, just we didn't have access to the most up-to-date figures, as we do now. ;)

Woah 130k both seems ambitious, but understandable. Just some bigger stumbling blocks this season - as one commenter below the article said, Roar need to sort their ownership situation, some certainty and security there, in-order to give fans more confidence to get back on-board. Though in all honesty, I think the Roar may be lucky to push 9-10k this season, let alone their record of last season, given the uncertainty and insecurity still lingering through this pre-season.

I think the challenge at the Jets seems a steep one, given the talk from Newcastle folk and the transition to FFA management. Tinkler famously subsidised the membership quite substantially, so just tying to the discussion earlier between Davo and Benchwarmer - I think a relative increase is to be expected as just a natural re-balancing. Capac stated what the new packs are up there and apparently they aren't unreasonable - so as word of mouth about that spreads, hopefully that helps to get some fans to re-sign up. The damage from late Tinkler era and that Stubbins controversy is the other big challenge, so repairing the reputation and relations with fans may take a little time, but hopefully the more they see of Miller and his Jets team, the more, again, fans can get back on-board with some confidence. But in any case, the Jets can never be expected to match the kinds of numbers they hit Tinkler era - hopefully this new era they can push beyond 5-6k, at the least?

Adelaide United seem a slight surprise, to be a bit behind where they were last season? But perhaps like SFC, it relates to timing in the release? Gombau leaving hopefully doesn't impact too much - his replacement could well be the-goods and the team is stable and still quite strong. They didn't perform too badly against Liverpool either? So hopefully that impressed a few local fence-sitters!

Given all this, the A-League may be hard-pressed to push too much beyond last season's record at this rate - perhaps 120k if we're optimistic? :-k

The Mariners were posting updates fairly regularly last year (either directly or in response to enquiries), so I'd say those numbers were more accurate.

Jerks - 5418

http://membership.newcastlejets.com.au/

Passing the 20k mark. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Good stuff.

How do prices compare to last season?

Better than MV numbers when you consider all the factors.

Thanks for the refresher rbs :) - I guess, Mariners have a pretty good history in that regard, so perhaps shouldn't lump them in with others. May not be remembering acurately, but we could never confirm 'all' with up-to-date figures, till the A-League eventually sprang their own tally on us. It's made the task of Davo and the rest of us, much easier -almost obsolete, I dare say? :shock: :p



Just curious, how did you guys jump from under 1k to the number you have now - Auto-renewals just kicked in? :-k

You guys seem to be tracking better than most of us, including some of you guys, presumed - good stuff? :cool:

Edited by GloryPerth: 10/8/2015 06:44:55 PM

Good to see the Jets getting memberships despite everything that has happened.

Yep Jerks auto-renewals kicked in, hence the big increase seemingly overnight

Seems in line with last year..

Talk to jlm about crowd and membership sizes in relation to population size. It's arguably his favourite topic.

Jerks are now on 5562. Wonder if the FFA Cup tonight will alter people's level of keen-ness to renew, or sign up.

The Official A-League Membership Tally - Update released: Wednesday 12 August 2015:



[size=6]Source: http://www.A-League.com.au/membership[/size]


Davo, you can utilise this to update your own tally. ;)

Edited by GloryPerth: 12/8/2015 10:46:01 PM

Decent numbers from AU, but the club should do more to advertise memberships. Some ads in the paper, on TV, whatever. Would love to see them break 10,000.

Having said that, I won't be able to get a membership because I'm saving up for several things, including but not limited to a PS4 and a m80 banner.

What would everyone think about ordering the teams in highest to lowest membership numbers rather than alphabetical?

Disappointed the Reds don't have more members. 10,000 doesn't seem unrealistic.

For chrissy im just asking for vouchers to buy a 1tb ps4
