so they'll have ... much ... bigger numbers then the Bulldogs

the Dogs are predicting 16,000, up to 18,000 members in 2012
so what

20... 22K for GWS ?

20K more then they have now ?

One thing is certain, GWS will have more ticketed members without the desperate need employed by the NRL and its clubs where fudging figures is the norm.

the AFL does not realease their ticketed numbers beaussie
as it would be highly embarrasing for it & its clubs

the NRL on the other hand does ...
no hiding like the AFL

so again
more members then any western Sydney NRL club GWS will have , all up , ticketed ... I don't care ... is that still your position beaussie ?

We’re extremely proud to have reached 8000 members and to celebrate the milestone the club hosted a Christmas feast at Metricon Stadium last night with eight lucky GC SUNS members and guests joined by Gold Coast SUNS players Jared Brennan, Dan Gorringe, Tom Hickey, Tom Lynch and Jacob Gillbee.

Complete with Christmas cracker hats the group enjoyed an intimate 3 course Christmas dinner with all the trimmings in one of the stadium’s luxurious hirers suites.

The evening started with an exclusive, our the 2012 members the first to hear that Jacob Gillbee has agreed to a twelve month contract extension with the Club.

The group also received club themed Christmas presents from the players and experienced a special guided tour of the stadium at night.

Having just ticked over the 8,000 member mark and with the pre-season now just around the corner, it seems our members are buzzing with excitement as we prepare for what is shaping up as a very exciting season ahead.

Passionate Brisbane-based members Mark and Deb Scown made it to Metricon Stadium for all but one home game this year and couldn't wait to renew for season 2012.

"It's absolutely imperative that people get on board, it's such an exciting club and such an exciting time to be part of something that's going to grow into what I believe is going to be a very, very special club in the very immediate and long term future.

"Now's the time guys to get on board. It's fantastic," Mark said.

"I think you'll enjoy it even if you're not an AFL follower, or you're not used to going to the games because it's a great party atmosphere here on the game night and it's really worth coming to," Deb said.

Foundation Member Rowan Hollonds enjoyed the friendly banter sitting opposite Tom Hickey at Christmas Dinner, saying it’s great to get to know some of the boys.

He said last year was great for the club and urged those who haven't yet signed up to do so.

"The players need to know they've got the support on the Gold Coast. People have got to get on board and become a member.”

When asked why people should sign up as members of the club in 2012, he responded "We've still got to win a home game, come out and see it. Be here."

BS, most are nothing more than leagues club memberships. We've proven this already. Stop fudging the numbers.
