CFC membership meter: ** 33,534 A NEW RECORD!!! **

Have heard on the grape vine (within the club) that we have cracked the 33,000 mark - in response to heavy demand - for members and seats for the last Carlton Game in round 9. :shock:

Would be great result if true - lets wait and see. :wink:

That would be good ... in a way ... hopefully we don't need a special event to continue good growth in membership sales though.

Given there is a 20 to 25% churn rate every year with memberships - I reckon you have to take the 30000+ results any way you can get them.

I have no doubt that we will head well north of 35,000+ once supporters realise how good it will be at the new MCG and Dome. :wink:

I share your vision brother.

33K would be a very good result given the reaction from some supporters regarding the move from Optus.

Those "some supporters" are in the minority compared to the families of Carlton supporters who were jack of trying to get to Optus Oval on match days. As I've stated previously, I'm very confident we'll be a lot closer to 35,000 than the 30,000 that you've been predicting PJ. I know you felt a significant backlash in round 21 at Optus last year, but as I've stated before, there were thousands of supporters in favour of the move who weren't at the Dees game last year.

I think time and 2 interstate games sp early in the season are against us luca. I dont think 35000 is achievable but 2 wins on the trot and who knows. I think it may take time for peopl;e to recognise the benefits of TD/MCG v OO. We will definitely have a growing membership over the next few years. this year I would be happy to status quo

The membership tally on Carltonfc is ..............31,265

http://carltonfc.com.au/

I would say there is probably still applications to be processed. I purchased fjanyc (my brother) an interstate membership this week as he will be on holidays here from new york during the melbourne game and heard the girl at the desk say that they are behind in the processing.

We just need a win this weekend and a few more may sign up before next friday's home game at the dome and 35K is a possibility

Wow, that's awesome news, a) the membership total and b) that fja will be here for the Melbourne game. Deserves a piece for InsideCarlton I reckon.

Spoke to the membership department today and they said the 32,000 barrier had been cracked.

BB how about updating the meter with last weeks and tonights tally. By the way you do a sterling job on these.

1,519 to go for the record :!:

2,994 to go for 35,000 :!:

Mid June is the cut off. It looks like the record will be broken

I wonder how much the television campaign has to do with it - I know I feel like running through that concrete for Denis.
