Thanks Wheel for always keeping us informed and up to date, its much appreciated for sure

 

[Cameron]

I’d be interested in an update of numbers. Surely it’s tracking up on the last few years.

Have the early bird membership prizes been drawn?

I think comparing years is hard, it will depend when you club does it’s proactive outbound calling to members who haven’t renewed. This normally boosts numbers.

I don’t think this years campaign had started yet.

Have the early bird membership prizes been drawn?

Yes yes yes they have.....

We are actually now slightly behind where we were this time last year.

I think it will take time for some fans to come back. But they will.

Go back 2015 the clubs soul was genocided.
Toovey sacked, singe sacked, ballin released, long term footy manager released our club was wrongly cleansed of it soul.

Now Scott penn and Lyall have ****ed off barrett and the external crap and got Des and the gang back together. Next year won’t be pretty if we are lucky we will make the 8
But it will be the start of a bueatiful journey back.
I love you mr hasler and everything you stand for #makemanlygreatagain

I have said it before but I don't believe we will compete with other club's membership numbers while our entry point is $85.00. Maybe we are playing the elite game saying our product is worth more, or maybe the other club's pokies are subsidising their lower level entry memberships? Either way, I know people who won't visit a game this year who can't or won't justify spending $85 to just get a membership, scarf, lanyard, etc.

The first three clubs I checked had the following............

Wests Tigers: Supporter $55.00


Brisbane Broncos: Captain's Membership $40.00


And Lyall's old club...Cronulla Sharks: Shark Starter $30.00


Higher volume at lower rates can result in better outcomes through economies of scale. For example we are paying for the same membership staff if 5 people ring or 20. Might as well have 20.

Keep the $85.00 option, add a lower priced option with less supporter pack items (keep keyring, car sticker), add to that the standard incentives to encourage attending games (which we desperately need), then do promotions to up-sell into better packages at year 3 or so.

Thx - I have passed onto the club

Souths have a pet membership for $50 and you get a food bowl and a fence sign. A baby/toddler membership with things like an ABC book, rabbitoh toys etc.
Our membership team need to think out of the box.

We are actually now slightly behind where we were this time last year.

Here we are (mostly) bouyant over the coaching and other changes, but keep in mind, to the less obsessive members, we are coming off our worst season in memory, whereas this time last year we were coming off a finals appearance and had reasonable prospects of success.

So we are probably doing well to have avoided a dramatic drop in memberships.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

How about a Leftie package, where someone else pays and you get to whinge about everything.

Not bad.
Or a Big End of Town membership, where your membership is paid for by the sweat of your employees while you enjoy the game from your tax- free corporate box, that you require because you never pay any tax on anything?

Interestingly enough we do have a variety of membership packages similar to the Souffs offering- there is something for everyone!

So there!

 

[The Wheel]

This is a legitimate concern for the club.

I'm an interstate supporter who doesn't attend any games of NRL purely due to location.
I fork out approx $180 for myself and 2 sons.

It's expensive for 3 lots of merchandise especially when you see other clubs doing memberships for half the price.

I have passed on to the membership team, will provide an update when I get a response. I agree for entry level it is a bit on the expensive side

After all the hard work done by the club, fans should be returning in droves.

I'm absolutely aroused at where our club is heading.

 

[Woodsie]

.. paying the wages of all those sweaty employees so that they can pay tax rather than be on welfare isn't a bad contribution ....

PSS ... get up with the times SER8 .... the unions out-lawed sweating years ago .....

 

[Ryan]

Geez it's hard keeping up with you Ryan. And I mean that it a good way. 1 moment I feel like your completely disillusioned with the club and its decisions, next your getting yourself aroused.

Perhaps some supporters share your recent sentiments.

That the club has made some shocking recruitment decisions (like Keppie) and dropped the ball on some quality up and comers (like Kelly).
Maybe they also see the players drinking on Instagram and having the likes of Cartwright at the club still upset them.

Regardless, I think the masses will return. It's the 2nd coming of Des. You just get the feeling that Manly is back.
12 months from now with the cap issue behind us and a few more off contract I think 2020 will be an exciting year.

Yep, what I said is I wanted to see progression from the club on and off the park, and there was a period, where I felt all we saw was regression.

Especially in areas under our control. I mean, give Barrett his damned support staff Des has the opportunity of working with. Upgrade some furniture. Kill the party culture, and make sure the players stop sharing their opinions about back office decisions. All controllable. And we were seeing nothing.

Stop the this player wants out, that player wants out rubbish. Stop releasing players for nothing.

But that's changed, and that has given me cause for optimism. Things chance, so I guess so does opinion.

I'm really happy about things at present.
