Red or Dead Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 5268 today @1pm. That's 18 added over the weekend I don't think we'll make the 20% increase (5,700), but I'm hoping we can hit 5,500 by Oct 12th; we need 19.33 members every day for the next 12 days for that. I walked passed the Membership tent yesterday in Frankston just passed half time and it didn't look like anyone was signing up, just buying merchandise. I'm hoping they got a fair few in the first half though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are so fickle that they will judge our entire season on a half of football in a meaningless pre-season game, where we didn't even field our full strength team, then they can fuck off and go back to being victory supporters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Well last Wednesday I referred 7 people and according to the HeartFan app none of them have been processed yet.

Red or Dead Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 So if the member count on Saturday was 5250 and it's 5305 right now, is it safe to assume that the game in Frankston brought in around 50-60 new members (I'm guessing there's probably a few more yet to be processed)? Would this be considered a success from a membership growth exercise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 IMO it's too early to tell whether there is any growth in memberships from last year at all. All we're really seeing so far is that more people have joined up than at the same time last year. It's a moot point whether that is a predictor of what the final number will be. As for the game in Frankston? I really have my doubts as to whether this has anything significant to do with the increase in numbers over the weekend. Possibly some people would have found it expedient to take out a membership at the game rather than on-line or by post or whatever, possibly a few juniors would have signed up because they met Harry, but I'm not sure that you become a member of MHFC because the youth team beat a scratch team of locals 4-1. I found the game itself to be rather bland TBH. No announcements about the team, substitutions, goalscorers etc. - I just happened to be able to recognize some of the Heart players but I would think that anyone not associated with the game wouldn't have been particularly inspired by what was on offer. IMO what we're doing in Shepparton, Frankston etc. is building an awareness of the club. This will benefit both us and the game in the longer-term. I don't think we're playing very exciting football under JA. We don't seem to have anyone who can lift the crowd every time he gets the ball - I think we're hoping the likes of Mifsud can deliver in that respect. I don't resile from the view that the key to our future is delivering excitement, flair, goals, wins, passion, spectacle, etc. at AAMI. This is what will cause someone to decide "I wan't to be a part of that"; all the rest will feed off that in the building of the club in the longer-term. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what will cause someone to decide "I wan't to be a part of that"; all the rest will feed off that in the building of the club in the longer-term. i think you raise a lot of good points, particularly since there is no real break down from the club of who has signed up. going off a few posts here we know there are a few new members but knowing if the bulk of the total membership number are from previous memberships is anyones guess. and i too love that the club is making the effort across the city and across the state to build awareness. the only counterpoint i'd make is that (but for a slight hiccup at the start of August where numbers slowed just before Kewell was confirmed) the numbers have been up quite noticeably and consistantly. this in turn makes me think the club is doing something right and the total membership is going to be well and truly up. One thing to remember (and it might be a little off topic being statistically based as a perspective), numbers and percentages get 'normalised' the higher your base number. That is to say a 500 increase as a percentage is markedly different when the base number is 3000 as opposed to 5000 (your looking at 16.667% as opposed to 10.000%). For Heart to be constantly remaining at around 15-17% up for three months suggusts to me that new members must be coming along regularly since you'd expect your interested past members to sign up early in the piece. Yes, some past members will leave it late, but you'd certainly expect not enough to constantly keep our percentage change around 15% since past members coming late will be more in the dribs and drabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) As an update, this is what i have found - some are easier to get than others Adelaide - 4,335 Brisbane - 5,653 Central Coast - 5,000 Heart - 5,344 Newcastle - almost 9,000 …. (http://www.newcastlefootball.net/forum/showthread.php?719-Jets-Membership-Update&p=51007#post51007) Perth - 4,394 Sydney - 9,500 Victory - 19,028 Wellington - 3,000 (from a couple of weeks back cant find more recent) West Sydney - 15,600 SOLD OUT! In descending order, that places us 6th - a little behind Brisbane, a little ahead of CCM and noticeably ahead of the last 3. given how shite we were last season its nice to know that we could be in a worse position - particularly where Perth and Adelaide come from markets where they should have an unimpeded shot at capturing the market (same could be said with Brisbane who is not that far ahead) Victory - 19,028 West Sydney - 15,600 SOLD OUT! Sydney - 9,500 Newcastle - almost 9,000 ….

jw1739 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 From an earlier post by RoD: Last Season # Vs this season 3,300 August 16th Vs 3800 (+500 / +15.15%) 3,650 August 30th Vs 4272 (+622 / +17.04%)4,000 Sept. 12th Vs 4633 (+633 / +15.83%) 4,750 October 04th (day before round 1) Day before Round 1 I'll be happy with 5,500 by October 4th, which will be a 15.79% increase on the same time last year, even though this year that's 8 days before our first kick-off. Now it's not quite October 4th, but we're on 5347 as I type, so we're 597 ahead of last year's October 4th figure. So really the major difference between last year and this year is that more people signed up early, before August 16th, (and I presume these were renewals rather than new memberships), and since August 16th the average rate of increase has remained almost the same as last year.
