Wow just wow!


Magpies break 80,000-member mark
By Peter Ryan 12:00am August 16, 2013


Collingwood has passed 80,000 members
JUST 12 days after its president Eddie McGuire returned from an AFL fact-finding mission on the issue of equalisation, Collingwood has signed a record-breaking 80,000th member.

It is the highest membership tally achieved by an AFL club in one season and gives Collingwood a significant advantage over many of its competitors.

Magpies CEO Gary Pert said the milestone showed there was no ceiling on the number of members the club could achieve.

It has doubled its membership tally in the past seven seasons after recording 73,600 members in 2012.

Collingwood has members from 88 countries and has made no secret of the fact it has global ambitions. Pert said the club's goal was to reach 100,000 members in two years.

"We've had a single, clear strategy for the last six years to simply ask supporters what experience they want as a member and then, as a club, do everything in our power to deliver it," Pert said.

Collingwood has won just one premiership since 1990 but has finished in the top four every season since 2009. It sits fifth on the ladder as it takes on top-placed Hawthorn at the MCG on Friday night.

With fears that the gap between rich and poor clubs is growing and increasing evidence there is a link between on-field success and off-field expenditure the AFL is determined to tackle equalisation.

Collingwood is seen as a key player in the debate and McGuire told Triple M recently he learned plenty on the AFL delegation to America.

He was happy to concede that if clubs such as Collingwood dominated the local market to such an extent that it stopped clubs such as Melbourne or the Bulldogs from gaining sponsors, then the Magpies should tip money into a redistribution pool.

However he remained adamant that the same salary cap figure should apply to all clubs regardless of where it was located and that each club should be able to spend 100 percent of the cap.

jesus
are there that many gold fish in Collington ?

80K members
average crowds 59K

cough... sham... cough :_<> :_<> :_<>

Largest NSW RL club Souths 27k (as of 11 July) average. attendance at home - 17532 away - 20775.

Which means at least 25% of their membership don't attend every game

Collingwood membership 80k and have an average of 59k (I will accept this figure for argument sake) which means 26% of their membership don't go to every game.

Looks about even RD - on par with the biggest Sydney RL club - so that pretty much proves my point!

"Become" ???? Always have been

:_<> :_<>

South Sydney will Finish the H&A with an average of around 22K dipshit ... meaning less then 20% of their members don't attend
Collington's average will drop to about 55K ... meaning nearly 33% of theirs don't attend

also
this is a common thing in the Sham ridden VFL membership set up
I dare say all 18 don't go near their membership numbers with their average crowd
while
Souths & the Dragons would be the only NRL clubs where their average crowds are less then their membership numbers


so like I said


COUGH .... SHAM.... COUGH

ITT Dave's pea-brain failing to comprehend the concept of the 3, 5 and 7 game membership....

Many Collingwood members are unable to get to games as they live in remote areas. The same would be applicable to clubs like Carlton, Essendon and Richmond.

It must be so heartbreaking for you knowing the closest nRL club to Collingwood struggles to even compete with the smallest non expansion clubs in the AFL.

One quick look at Swans and South crowds and we know who the delusional liar in this conversation is. But by all means, please carry on and make yourself look like an even bigger tosser.
