What is encouraging is that this comparison also shows us well up in numbers. Unfortunately I don't have a record of numbers before 30th September 2014. But the number at the end of that day was 8,334. At the conclusion of 19th August 2016 (last night) 2016/17 memberships were 7,621. 2014/15 number 5,582. IMO we look likely to match or exceed the David Villa number in due course. But time will tell. 1 hour ago, Jozzy said: Please correct me if I'm wrong but did we have about 9500 members last season? It'd be awesome to have that beat before the season even starts. 9,452. But that number included all sorts of 3- and 5-match memberships etc. The number before all those offers was 7,058. So we are already past that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa could get nearly 3,000 (5582-8334) members in September than by that logic Cahill quite possibly could shoot us up near 10k. But also just like when Villa came I'm sure there will be the masses who come to the first game for the hype. BTW anyone know how many seats AAMI holds except the 2nd level areas? I know they opened that for villa and am wondering what demand would cause them to open it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they opened that for villa and am wondering what demand would cause them to open it up. As close as you need to know it, Levels 1&2 combined hold 20,000, and Level 3 10,000. But in practice, because of reserved seats for members (which can't be released to walk-ups even if they're unoccupied), you have to open Level 3 when the attendance reaches about 15,000.

HEARTinator Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just to visualise it, I added a couple of current figures (triangles) to Red or Dead's graph from last season. Membership ATM is best yet, exceeding the Villa experiment. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 35 minutes ago, jeffplz said: 14.5 i think That's correct. As someone following the "numbers" I'd say that it is a completely unrealistic target. At the present time we're tracking some 1900 above last season, and about 680 above the "David Villa season", and since the daily number has been available we're averaging an increase of 27 per day. Hopefully we'll see some improvement as we get closer to the season itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the others are in the pipeline but the money not actually transferred into the Sportsubs/club system or not yet official for some other reason, but I can go only on the published number.

Yep. Membership, merchandise, and the players tent. Also had games and competitions for the kids. The line to the players was about 300 deep. All the young kids were there for Tim and were buzzing. Many adult victards were there for Timmy too. My son said it was a great day with a great vibe. 2 hours ago, mjake1234 said: Knew nothing about it. Where was it advertised.
