I don't think it's crazy at all, it's a very likely scenario. 13,372ish rocked up to see ADP play, I can't see why all the Barcelona/Atletico/Spanish fans (plus our 9,000+ members) wouldn't come out to see Dah-vid Viya play in his first home game!

n i k o Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yeah na no chance but 10k would be penciled in. Not sure if your taking the piss, but last season we had some 5k odd members come the first game? From memory our first two home games saw over 8k spectators, that's an additional 3k from the general public. Assuming we have a win tomorrow night there's no reason why membership cannot rise to the high 9k or even crack the 10k. With villas pulling power and the buzz from a win it's possible to get to 15k.

If that's the case we will get at least 15k members by seasons end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperfuzz Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) i just noticed that Sydney FC were selling four game "blockbuster" packs before the season starts. pretty cheap move to bump up numbers early on. my tip is that if we're doing well we'll be selling a boatload of three/six game memberships to the last lot of home games after the asian cup Edited October 13, 2014 by hyperfuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniboi Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not that I care what other clubs are doing, but I remember a couple of seasons ago Victory were at about 22K members and we were about 5,500. So the gap has demonstrably reduced over time but especially this year. I think most new fans to football in Melbourne will choose City over the Muscat ferals.

If we are not going the saturation advertising strategy then our brand of football needs to be our advertising. I cant remember where I heard it and I cant find his stats at the moment, but if I recall correctly Pim Verbeek had a very high win % but everyone still hated him because his brand of play was very dull to watch, particularly for people who didnt watch a lot of football. Not only do we need to be successful, we also need to be exciting if we want to attract a significant amount of new fans.

I'm proudly one of the most negative carnts here, but after this weeks game I am confident that we will adopt the City way and we will entertain. As far as our city rivals go, I believe their result flatters them. Of all the teams that could say their first 11 were missing WSW have the strongest case.Quality like Spiranovic, Juric, even Topor Stanley, not to mention Saba and their winger recruits being partly fit.. The goals were from awful WSW defending and mistakes, the sort of thing we would gift to sides when we were Heart. There's also a cynical Muscat-esque side to their game creeping in-Broxham's yellow inside the first minute or so is an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 To much concern about Victory on here.. The blueprint for Melbourne City doesn´t really care about other clubs ups and downs, it´s all about this club, this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
