The amount of people wearing RWB, attending training ( 10k) , Grand Final Parade (180k) and the Grand final (100k), Family day (30k), surely we can hit 50,000 in 2017.
It has already begun.

Absolutely we can get 50,000 members. I was at all those events you listed BAD. Intend to renew for 2017 soon.
Lock it in

Premiership Circle - SOLD OUT
Social Club - SOLD OUT
Great start towards 50,000
I intend to renew soon but with the SC that doesn't affect members who already have the add as the option from 2016 and haven't renewed yet for 2017.Quote:

So standard members will have a 1 in 13 chance in any ballot. The impact for social club is lesser seats on average compared to this year. Only a small thing.Quote:

Unlucky if you intend to add the SC or SPC to your membership for next year. After winning the premiership it will be in high demand obviously.Quote:

The EJ Whitten Social Club has hit capacity, with a waiting list now opening up for the Bulldogs' grand final ticket guarantee membership.
The membership department has been flooded with calls on Monday morning following Saturday's AFL Grand Final triumph, leading to the EJ Whitten Social Club reaching capacity for the first time.
In addition to the EJ Whitten Social Club membership add-on, the Charles Sutton Premiership Circle add-on has also reached capacity for the 2017 season, and is no longer available for purchase.
The exhaustion of both membership add-on products takes into consideration members who had upgraded via their membership renewal emails received last week and any members that had contacted the Club prior to noon today, but who may not have received confirmation yet.
A representative of the membership team will be in touch this week with anyone who enquired about EJ Whitten Social Club membership before noon today to ensure they are accommodated.
A wait list is now in effect for members still wanting to add the EJ Whitten Social Club to their membership package when places become available. To add your name to the wait list, call 1300 46 36 47.
Members who had the EJ Whitten Social Club or Charles Sutton Premiership Circle in 2016 will be able to renew these packages as part of their 2017 membership.
Current members will have until 5:00pm Friday 9 December to renew their current membership offering.
Should members with these packages choose not to renew before this date, positions will be offered to members on the Social Club wait list.
Wait list registration costs a non-refundable fee of $20.00, which will be deducted from the total cost of the upgrade when a place becomes available.
Due to the high interest in membership following the weekend’s premiership win, the Club’s Membership Services Team is experiencing unprecedented levels of inbound calls, and we’d ask that you please be patient when calling them.
We’re currently experiencing on-hold times of 20-minutes, and apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. The Membership Services Team will address your enquiry as soon as possible.

Just so there is no confusion, this is the important sentence for current social club members who are not on auto renew.Quote:

Surely 50,000 is unders considering the turn out of bulldog supporters at each event as BAD outlined above.
I know that memberships are the heart beat of the club and are critical in survival in today's AFL climate but it's sort of sad in a way that our beloved little Western Bulldogs football club is fast becoming a big powerhouse club at this rate. Our little club is growing up.
I don't find it sad at all. We are a club of substance reclaiming our rightful place.Quote:

No need to worry. If you are a bulldog for life it will automatically roll over. If not you have until a certain date to renew (December 9 was mentioned earlier in this thread).Quote:

Totally agree Aza.Quote:

60 to 70k might not be out of the question for next year.
When Geelong broke their hoodoo in 2007 they managed to get to 38,000. With all their success and Dangerfield singing last year they're up to 47,000 with their social club sold out too (like us now).Quote:

This is where the club has been smart started emailing members to up grade in prelim week and had membership tents going all up to gf and beyond .. Get these bandwagoners while the euphoria is through the roof.Quote:
