Every Member Counts

**ScottH** · 17th November 2006, 08:07 PM

The Swans however will be orchestrating a big push into Melbourne, Albury and Canberra as they aim to exceed 35,000 members in 2007.

With two slogans of Sydney's Own Sydney Swans and Every Member Counts for non-Sydney locations, the Swans are going heavy on recruitment this year in the hope 2007 becomes their most successful off-field season yet.

Of course there will be two slogans, we are talking two different markets, makes perfect sense.

You are talking about a banner speaking to the whole membership base on grand final day.

These memberships 'slogans' are to keep existing members and get new ones fired up enough to sign up and hand over hundreds of dollars and we are talking about two very different markets. The emphasis in Sydney has to be on the Sydney factor, simple as that.

This year Sydney had the '25 years in Sydney' and the Melbourne membership had the Bloods slogan. Perfect for both markets I would suggest.

Yep I agree with you Damien. The marketing dept has done a wonderful job catering in the main to the two major markets that contain Swans supporters. To have 32,000 members would have been unheard of in the SMFC and early Sydney Swans days. Full marks to the club for what they have achieved up until now.

I don't see how they are going to grow memberships much in 2007 with the SCG capacity only 30,000. Surely it would have been better from a growth of the game point of view had they come to some sort of agreement with the SCG to let us play all our home games at Telstra Stadium in 2007 until the SCG construction works are complete? (Or if not all, maybe 2-3 more) I know there's a contract, but I'm sure something could have been worked out. A wasted opportunity IMO, I thought we could have at least squeezed in an extra game at TS in next year's draw.
