Don't worry , whatever target the club sets we will once again miraculously make it just before the cut off.

The club is apparently happy with the number of members signed so far and I guess that means 60K is still within a reasonable chance.

We are about 500 behind where we were in 2022 at the same point and that year we ended up with under 51k so I think we are currently tracking miles away from 60k.

They have a bigger supporter base than us (largely due to Bayside Melbourne remaining a very Anglo area post war) but we did have more members than them in 2014-17 and 2019.
Their historical Docklands home game average is 31,553 and ours is 29,845. Roy Morgan reported last year that they have 353k fans aged 14+ whilst we have 341K fans in this category so there is not a lot in it.

Re: 2024 Membership Thread
I expect like many things, going to the football is a discretional spend that will be de-prioritised in the current environment, particularly off the back of our finish to 2023. If we win a few early games, we’ll make up some ground then. Hopefully we’ve forecast for reduced membership dollars and gate receipts and have some buffer in our financial plans. Has the potential to be a tough year.

I'd love to know how they come up with those figures?
