Although there is plenty of time for that number to catch up it's a bit of a concern considering the positives that should be helping. In addition to WU being introduced, I'm surprised WSW members don't seem to be returning in solid numbers considering they have a fantastic new stadium.
Most clubs seem to be keeping the numbers to themselves but if we take that 45,128 and minus the numbers we know (MV 17,778, PG 5,984, MC 4,500) we get 16,866. If we average that between the remaining 8 clubs we get an average of 2,108 per club. Not great.
One thing to note about the Independent HAL is that it hasn't been completely finalised yet. The clubs still do not officially own their IP. Once that happens I reckon will see new marketing campaigns from all of the clubs. Especially when it comes to merch sales.

Membership total from same day last year was 71,107 and today it's sitting at 45,128, down 37% year on year even though WU are also in.

Independent HAL better start popping some of those thought bubbles and do something otherwise this could get real ugly

So where do this years numbers come from? 

The A League website isn’t updating so is there another sousource? 

@Waz, thats the official HAL website, same as has been used in previous seasons. Cant blame FFA for this one, perhaps new Independent HAL should add this to their list of thought bubbles.

Expecting Nix's to hit 5 to 6k this year. I think we will get more once the league becomes fully independent so the confidence will be there. 

When I checked the HAL site it was blank for all the clubs but just double checked after your post and saw the top has 45k even though the individual club entries are blank. 

So until the the individual club numbers open up we don’t know if we’re comparing apples to apples or not. 

45k for all clubs would be a disaster. 

45k for 2-3 clubs would be on par with last years finish (basically that looks like the auto renewals for Vuck, the drive-bys and the Smurfs).  

Hey Nomates,
Surely there a 10,000 to 15,000 rectangular stadium in or around Auckland that the Nix could play out of? The cake tin has no atmosphere.

Don't we crack 100-120k each year in members?

Pretty much

Are they good numbers? compared to other codes or just football in general.

Hard to say. 

I think they’re too low personally Roar should be 20k members by now, not 15k, as should 3 other clubs and Victory should be cracking 30k (although it’s hard to criticise their numbers). 

The bottom line is attendance is the number number that matters

I would expect Roar to crack 15,000 members easily this year - not because of any improvement in the team or better marketing but because of Redcliffe. 

Theyll likely get their 6k full season members again and another 6k of the 3/5 game memberships at Suncorp. 

Then the three games at Redcliffe will give them another 4-5k in 3 game memberships 

i think victory have trouble hitting 30k due to the number of seats at aami park or something 

Victory up to 18,270. Any other clubs with current visible totals?

Jets 11,634

That seems too good to be true with so much time left.
