hedaik Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Be interested to know if all these members are re signs. I would suggest so. Not sure if any of the extended soccer community would even know if memberships are available to buy. Weird during wc no advertising yet????? From memory after our third year it was said that we had gone through about 14,000 individual members or something. If that is true, I'd imagine its a lot of those old members re-signing who stayed on the mailing list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Given the dynamics of a takeover and injecting money in a club it´s generally considered (in Europe at least) that the first years you mainly regain supporters that have been absent for a while..

StringerBell Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I'm a completely new member, and although a casual fan of the Heart for the past few years, I don't have the same level of connection to the Heart name and colours as many others on the forum understandably do. Just a few things that have encouraged me to signup this season: The new ownership group and connection to Man City - I completely understand the viewpoint from many that may not feel the same way, but I think this is really exciting for the football club and the A-league in general. Initial signings - David Villa and Damien Duff, plus the International Marquee and Australian Marquee still to come. From a personal standpoint I recently moved within walking distance to AAMI Park, so will be able to get to a lot more home games. Agree that the real injection of new supporters/members will come when there is more advertising through traditional media. Perhaps this will happen once one or both of the marquee signings have been sorted. Edited June 25, 2014 by StringerBell 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strider Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Sucks I couldn't just simply renew as I'm no longer concession. Hopefully my email to them still lets them recognise me as a renewed member... Got active support membership and got a mate to tag along and grab a membership!

Heart_fan Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 2954 so close to 3k 2968 now... To hit 3K this early on would be an epic start, and thats prior to any marquees coming onboard, or any substantial marketing efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 It should. I don't see any logic in waiting. The next 2 to 3 weeks is all about the WC and soccer. As soon as it finishes its back to AFL. They should have begun some sort of mainstrean marketing campaign. Its great we hit 3k and its probably above expectations. I just feel its the clubs responsibility to generate a buzz. Get people interested in the relabled team. Just puzzles me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falastur Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 3027 even. Is this perhaps the result of the DD bubble which we didn't think was going to happen this suddenly?

Popular Post Falastur Posted June 25, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Notch it up one more member. I decided that it was time that I showed some solidarity with you guys so I bought an international membership. I have a zero percent chance of making it to any games this season (maybe in future seasons, but give it a few years) but it felt like the right thing to do. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
