It really must be perplexing to the club why our numbers are so low…...we really should have many more, its got me stuffed....I know the 3 grounds play a part, surely that issue alone cant have that significant an impact

If I was to buy a membership today would I be able to get a seat undercover at either Campbelltown or Leichhardt? No.

True enough ink.
Well as long as 6000 people are happy. Souths meanwhile have about 16,000 happy fans.

The point is, there are not many membership packages that are going to deliver a reasonable quality product given our home ground mix. Sure he could have lined up early and been the first to buy, but that only pushes the problem down the line to someone else.
I think the 3 home grounds has a lot to do with the relatively low membership take-up, and, sadly, also the relatively poor quality of facilities at Leichardt.
From a distance to travel point of view I am only likely to attend games at Leichardt and SFS. As a member signing up now I am not likely to get anything particularly attractive by way of seating at Leichardt, and I can get whatever I want at the SFS walking in off the street for any match we play there, so what is the advantage in signing up for a membership?

I have been a GA member for years, and all that is available at the SFS now is the corners and behind the ingoals…the rest is reserved
I think even by just purchasing a 4 game GA membership youre saving money, time and hassle....I know its been convenient for me in the past
Its all about attitude

Attitude, affordability and what you see as value for money. Some clearly don't see it and aren't renewing/signing up.
I think when LO reaches it's twilight the smart money would be on pumping cash into CSS and having it upgraded to 30,000 seats. The ability to provide a like-for-like product between CSS & SFS would be achievable then, and probably at a better cost.

I only just realised LO/allianz is dearer than Cambo
I reckon wed have a few thou that went only to LO or CSS that arent members….I know that if suddenly one game is missed then its not really financially beneficial
I'd like to see the numbers/%breakdown of the various deals we have...think smeg quoted figures somewhere for this season gone

One thing that makes our membership packages worse than others is if we can only attend a few games. Take our 4 game memberships. You must use them all at Campbelltown, Leichhardt or the SFS. Meanwhile, you could buy a 3 game membership with Souths, but have total flexibility to choose which games you go to. Now if you can't attend games on a certain day of the week, you are almost certain not to be able to go to all 4 games at our home grounds, but that wouldn't be a problem for other clubs.

Does anyone have the latest numbers? The website has the counter but it is showing a jumble of oversized numbers on my computer, so I can't read it. It may be my internet browser is out of date…

Season doesn't start for another couple of months, a lot of people will sign up closer to the season starts when the ads and membership drives begin.

Thanks. Was hoping for a surge around Christmas, but it doesn't look like it happened…
