There are usually revenue figures at the end of the season and from memory ours are usually quite high even though our numbers may be lower than some clubs.

I spoke to the membership dept. approx 6 weeks ago and they said it may be a possibility this season.

I buy 3 baby blue memberships each year that we never count... I'm guessing we may have 10,000 of these ready to add, ala Richmond and Essendon*.

I don't believe I've ever seen a tally of Carlton non-access members...


There's also a general non-access membership available this year too which is new - a friend who'll be overseas for the entire footy season bought one.

I think I can finally afford to renew my membership this month!

We where supposed to be in the 50-55K member numbers with the move to TD - must be the fevola trade that is holding us back. :razz:

We were way behind Essendon* this time last year too. According to official AFL figures we ended up with more members than they did. For whatever reasons our members sign up later than other clubs.

You provided this link of last season's tally in another thread that clearly illustrates what I'm saying. All but three clubs count non-access members... and we have a zero in that column.

I know we sell non-access memberships, I buy 3 each year yet there's no public account of them.

Paid membership renewals early December. But still waiting for them to arrive. Same thing happens every year. Getting a bit pissed off with it. Can't be that hard, surely.

I don't understand why anyone cares when the membership pack comes.... as long as it is in time for Round 1....

Here's the big scoop.

You'll get a shit box hat which only the very young and the old would be seen wearing,
Some crappy keyring and some stickers. These stickers will say I am Carlton.
Woohoo.

Roll on Round 1.

My kids care, they are rapt when the pack comes and they keep asking me when will it come? By the way every member was a kid at some stage in their life and if you treat them well early in life you have a future member for 70 plus years (that is a lot of money). At some stage the old man is going to stop paying for there membership and they will have to put there hands in there pockets.
If you venture outside your bubble there is a whole new world outside.

Out of curiosity I checked this year's membership brochure and it says the baby blue membership do contain game day access.

*their.

The child membership pack must be a lot more interesting than the adult one!

I got a birthday card from Sticks once. That made me happy.

Its just spin.

I keep receiving letters from the club asking my 15 yr old son to re-new his reserved seat as he is currently in debit!

He's never had a bloody reserved seat!

No requests for the other 3 members of the family to rejoin! WTF is going on in the membership department?

Will call to sort it out this week................but very frustrating :mad:

Couldn't find a Collingwood total but I assume it's over 50k.

Hawthorn 48k

Essendon* 38k

Richmond 17k.

Back in your box. :P
