Deluka Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yeah, they sold out about 3, maybe 4 ,weeks ago. I think we'll see an upgrade of Parra stadium to 25k for the next season (additional seating behind both goals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbitm Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) 25% increase on last year comes at 5,938. Would be great if this translates to a 25% jump in crowds, getting ~8.5k average to non derby games would be a huge improvement.

We're at 23% (5843) right now so we're gonna need a 2% jump (95 members) in a day and a half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm sure that it must be clear to the club that the apparent public ambition shown by the club is reflected in the degree of commitment shown by 'armchair' supporters who then make the commitment to buy a season ticket. Even if our season is disappointing, if the club shows in a concrete way that it is ambitious (rather than just talks about it) then support will come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 As much as it might sound like a bit of a cop out, being the 4th most supported team (given that Newcastle give out a fair few free tickets and are heavily subsidised) behind Sydneys and MV would be a fantastic achievement, should be very very important for all of us to attain that number.

And we still have to win games but I liken it to David Gallop who has used the media to great effect to champion the HAL. This year we have given out the message that we aim high and want to contend for silverware. People are responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePolo Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Has anyone seen any statistics about how many people go to the game that aren't members, and how many members go. Would be interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Has anyone seen any statistics about how many people go to the game that aren't members, and how many members go. Would be interesting to see. There were some stats put out last season. The number of members who don't go to any particular game is staggeringly high - IIRC something like 40%. You can get an idea from looking at how many people are buying tickets at the ground, the number of members, and the attendance that is announced.

You can get an idea from looking at how many people are buying tickets at the ground, the number of members, and the attendance that is announced. 40% was actually the figure of members that actually DO turn up, meaning on average at any given game 60% of members aren't there - that was at the forum during S3. Over half attendees are 'walk ups'. I'm not overly surprised tbh, means the average member attends around 6 of 13 games - take in to account kids, family memberships and 3/5 gamers. Makes sense.

Yes we have to win games to keep fans engaged but even without playing a season game we can see how people respond. It isn't overwhelming but it is certainly positive. The challenge is to build on this by winning regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting times ahead for the A-league and hopefully for MHFCWellington recently had an increase of over 500 to about 3,470 if i remember correctly i do find it interesting for a club that draws media attention for poor crowds that Heart are still doing better than four other A League clubs. considering that three of those clubs are foundation clubs and the other took over a foundation club's role as the pinnacle in NZ, I kinda wonder how much has to do with Heart just establishing itself in Melbourne. for the majority of A League clubs, the instant buzz of the A League wasn't fully experienced until season 3 in terms of crowd recognition - most were building to that point (either steadily or as a way of remaining constant while finding their place in the local sporting market). in lieu of that, I wonder if with Heart's situation the crowds will now come once they start performing success wise to the point that non hardcore section of the Melbourne sporting scene actually know there are two viable options in Melbourne. the memberships seem to be on the rise well and truly (similar to other clubs earlier in the piece) so now its just down to battling away on the field.

Tommykins Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 It definitely is attainable. I've got no doubt we'll see a bump in crowds regardless of the football on he park due to the off-season we've had and the players we've recruited. Good football would prove the catalyst to see us push past 10K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
