2011 Memberships

[Ossie]

Just shy of 45,000.

Also members who got that crappy bumper stickers that faded quickly can get there new improved ones with the edition of Bomber Magazine that is out at the moment.

Yeah mine was sh*t. Do the new ones automatically come with the new Bomber or is there some kind of voucher thing?

[Jazz_84]

nope i got my magazine today and they had the sticker in with it, actually they gave me 2

the magazine looks awesome, some serious toilet time coming up

45,006 members 2 days before our first game

Carlton aiming for 50k - they have 34,767
St Kilda aiming for 45k - they have 35,296
Richmond - 41,681 (done very well)

can't believe St Kilda of all shit teams still have more members then Carlton

My edition of The Bomber had 3 stickers inside - one for my car, one for the wife's and the third was put on the boss' car this morning - he's a Port supporter so probably wont notice - or care.

My daughter put all 60 editions of The Bomer in numerical order last night - Edition no 2 has a cover picture of a very very young James Hird with the caption - 'You lookin' at me?' - we both thought it hilarious!!!

45,000 members is a great result - however we are still well behind Hawthorn and way behind Collingwood. 50,000 must be reached if not this year then next if were are to continue to be considered a powerhouse club. Carlton are being exposed atm and with the poor turn-up to the game last night they are going to lose even more credibility.

Makes you laugh at those media muppets who continually claim that other teams deserve ANZAC Day - because they'd also pack the 'G'.

I don't get reading in the toilet. Do what you have to then get out.

Collingwood are streets ahead of anyone else, too many babies maybe.... but the Hawks have 49,800 with 7,800 coming from Tassie so in terms of Melbourne home games it's really only about 42,000..... is that right?

[robrulz5]

Would be nice to have 50,000 by ANZAC day.

[paddyl90]

Imagine if all 45,000 members turned up. The vision in my head is amazing! Hope heaps turn out tomorrow!!

[robrulz5]

We should have close to 50,000 there tomorrow.

[Jazz_84]

should be near 50k, maybe 45ish if we are being realistic

[hop]

Collingwood are closing in on 70,000 members!!!! FFS!!!

If they win it again this year - they'll get to 100,000 before anyone else reaches (a creditable) 55 or 60,000.

It is so important we keep in touch.

Imagine the bombast and domination the scum will have if they get there - and they will unless someone stops them. The comp is already designed for their success and with those sort of numbers the entire AFL and media will be on their knees - King F***ing Eddie and the Orc Army!

[Jazz_84]

should have our target 50k by the end of the week =D> great effort from the club!

gotta show we can improve now and aim for 60k over the next 2 years

The new members might get their medallion before I do.. F****** useless.

Called again last week. "Oh yes, your supporter pack with scarf etc etc should be with you shortly."

My reply "I really don't give a shit about the supporter pack, just get my bloody medallion out to me ASAP!".

[robrulz5]

I wouldn't blame people for not signing up after the last two games.

Surely with only about 100 memberships to get in order to hit 50K, some rich Diamond Don or Essendonian will do the needful thing and make a bulk purchase, give the memberships away to a charity

Or someone that works in the Middle East?

[Jazz_84]

well given 3000 magpie memberships are given away each year i think we can afford the same efforts

49,963

Has been going up all day. Wouldn't be surprised if we were already over 50,000. Those drongo's in the office probably haven't processed the paperwork on thousands of them
