The split for Roar last season was about 45% full members and 55% 3/5 game members. Less than 50 were non-ticketed members according to a question at a fan forum.

The only number that matters is attendance right, and growing membership is just one way of improving that.

Roar have gone early with their Roar Rascals program because their 2+2 strategy is targeted at kids in the summer holidays and with only 4 games before Christmas, and I think one in the January holidays, the plan is a free game now, and then buy your 2 family tickets at $95 for the two holiday games (this compares favourably with the BBL pricing), and then a free one in the new year. They’ve thought it through.

Agreed. Way to build a base.

Best membership at season start for a while.

Well, it’s a small win and better up than down 👍

sorry for being pendantic, but how are the "membershship numbers at Round 1" calculated? is it just the official figure released by each team in the week leading up to round 1? because obviously teams will sign up members at membrship tents at the stadiums this weekend, and we won't know those figures until next week.  

perth and adelaide looking steady, brissy doing great, even sydney is closing in on wsw and of course my team needs to more work! 

Sydney should be ashamed of themselves. 

How exactly are Sydney closing in on WSW? Last year the difference in members was 4243 at Round 1, this season it's 4281.

Sorry I was wrong about that

The HAL is running ahead by about 2% or 1996 for the start of the season last year. 97032 vs 99028

SFC are down 1151 (9%)
WSW are down 1113 (7%)
CCM are down 1457 (27%) 
MCI are down 962 (10%)
Glory are down 149 (2%)

MVC are up 195 (1%)
NIX are up 393 (9%)
ADL are up 1457 (27%)
Jets are up 1778 (24%)
BRI are up 2609 (42%) 

Greg O'rourke mentioned yesterday in his SEN interview, which I just heard on podcast that the A League doesn't count any memberships other than ticketed members (pet etc). He said they are actually looking at reviewing that system of counting along industry standard like that of the other codes where they are inflated. 

OMG

The new figure is 103, 293 but FFA left last weeks club numbers so the club totals equal last weeks and don't agree with the totals... very very very sloppy ...

It's almost like the numbers are made up for some reason

Clubs numbers up now Mariners huge jump.

Victory are at 25012 according to the club newsletter I got last night.

Mariners up to over 6000 before yesterday's first home game as per CEO. 

Jets announced this morning we've cracked the 10,000 mark

Why did only 17,000 attend their last match with so many members?

Sunday 7pm kick off

Yep, Sundays are always gonna pull a lower crowd than the equivalent Friday or Saturday game. The next MV home game is another 7pm Sunday game. Seeing as the opponent is CCM, the crowd could be lower still. 

15k I'm thinking. It's a very difficult timeslot for families and regional fans who work the next day.

hell of a lot of complaints on the Victory social media pages re the 7pm sunday kickoff. very unpopular amongst the fans. much like the sunday twilight games in AFL. attending sunday night sport is definitely not a Melbourne thing. Thursday night would probably work better (not that I am suggesting that).

you'd have to say we'll pass last year but fall short of the record. the stagnant nature of membership numbers is yet another reason why we so despertately need expansion.  

 Doesn't help with two clubs being nomads, id expect massive jumps when they get their new stadiums
