Well done to everyone who signed up and became a member.

Just broken the all time VFL/AFL for any club.

If we win the flag, we could well get close to 120,000 members next year!!

[Culprit]

Gonna need a bigger stadium.

[AlienTracker]

I think we hold the MCG (AFL) to ransom now?

Great effort Pies members.

The more the merrier.

I think within a few years, all clubs will be past 100,000 members if the following remains a thing;

If you buy a $99- Bulldogs membership, you get Kayo tossed in...

Pretty sure Doggies numbers will continue to swell on the back of this

I remember signing up in '98. The club had a membership drive headed by Daics - 40,000 by 2000. We had just over 27,000 in '98 and ended up hitting 40k in 2003.

After the 2010 flag, our numbers jumped from around 48k to 72k.

1990 there were just 14,000 members.

There really are 24 CFC membership options ~
https://membership.collingwoodfc.com.au/packages

Add in AFL membership there's another 6 choices...
And the MCC .

Even if it averaged $360 for our Club related memberships, that's $38.3m coming through the coffers.
Add in spend at the shop, game day travel costs, food, accommodation you start to see how important supporters are to this competition.

afl members contribute approx. $120 to the club if it’s nominated as club support. remember when eddie and/or mick spruiked us becoming the man u of the afl with 100k members. we finally got there but i do wonder what the baseline is when the bandwagoners drop off in the lean times.

[woodys_world69]

i doubt in 1998 we had many options for memberships as we do now.

especially with 2 teams in each state provides twice as many opportunities for interstate members to get to see there team.

I finally got my membership pack today after they ran out at the start of the season…
