Wests Tigers – 5,060 (10,248)

Total = 100,897 half way there with 5 clubs still yet to post numbers.

Some dismally low numbers there for heartland clubs

All heartland clubs that have posted numbers are way ahead of the same point last year, mind telling me how you came to your analytical conclusion oh wise Xman......... =D>

Exactly eel, 2 seasons ago, Newcastle had 4.5k members, this season they hit 20k and this year they look to be on track to beat their record from this season.

It'll take some time, but eventually the culture will change.

There have been many times an AFL team has been in financial trouble. But none have needed a billionaire to save them. All have been resurrected by members and financial strategy. This will happen again and again.

Face it. The AFL have more followers and these people are prepared to save their club. The NRL rely on saviours because the fans just aren't interested unless its on TV

Port lost 2 mil this year because their owners gave them 2mil. These are the same owners that own the stadium they play in and take hundreds of thousands off the, each game.


Just like many teams before them they will be saved by financial strategies and members. The only exception to this in AFL VFl history is the lions, and they merged. Even clubs like Collingwood, hawthorn and Carlton have had their financial troubles. But with such Incredible following they were never going to fall over. Now they are super clubs

Unlike the NRL where if clubs arent saved by billionaires or consortiums they just fold
