FWIW we've really appreciated the three match deals over the past two or three seasons, as it has allowed us to make some commitment when full membership seemed too much to commit to. By last season we were up to two three match passes a season, plus other matches, and full membership became a no brainer. It didn't cost much more, and we'd increasingly found we wanted to be there for every match. So as a marketing tool, the three match passes are a brilliant idea, and a great way for engaging people gradually. Absolutely. That's how we started too.

I think counting the 3- and 4- match "specials" as equivalent to a 13- or 14- match season ticket is just fudging the numbers. TBH I think FFA is indulging in a pissing contest with itself to try to make things look better than they really are. As JW says it depends how and what you count. But, for the record "memberships" were: Sydney mcfc 2014/15 11501 11759 2015/16 13154 9431 2016/17 (as of 31/10/16) 9201 8015 We are currently tracking more than 11% above the "Villa" season of 2014/15 Edited September 2, 2016 by mjake1234 Add 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been unsuccessful - even last season we choked. The reality is that until our membership is double what it is, i.e. 16,000 by this time every off-season, we will not have "arrived" as a club.

So the most recent number is at the top. Yeah I was planning to but was in a rush, done now. Also I want to reduce the number of records, I think scrapping every half an hour isn't a problem but maybe they shouldn't all be displayed.

Deluka Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Just signed up then, forgot that you get a free scarf or hat! Anyone signing up I would suggest asking about the promo code to get FFA cup discount as the guy said the email has already gone out, meaning he had to verbally give it to me.

jw1739 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Discussing our low membership numbers is not negativity. Our numbers are a credibility issue.
