Today's a draft of your epitaph
Around 10k or so would probably be Melbourne members.
My 'something like 15,000' that don't live in Sydney was a guesstimate based on:
1. In Sept. 2016 (before GF) Tony Morwood, who runs the club's Victorian office, was quoted as saying "We have over 12,000 paid-up members in Victoria. It is the strongest of any [interstate] club".
2. This year there will be eight Victorian matches � the most the Club has played in Victoria since 1996 � so I am guessing that Vic memberships have increased again this year and might be part of the driving force behind this year's early growth in numbers.
3. To add to the Vic. members there are other interstate members, plus Canberra, plus regional and country NSW (your question), plus Davey in Canada . A complete guess on my part is that this group in total might be approaching 1500. Just regional and country NSW? 500 - 700? Anyone else got a better guess?

To add to my reply above, I hope that the excitement about Heeney has led to an increase in memberships from around the Newcastle region. Probably still small numbers though.
I've got 10 family members in regional NSW all Swans members
The Swans website lists Swans supporter groups in WA, SA, ACT, Gold Coast and Wagga Wagga so there must be reasonable numbers of supporters in each of those areas, some of whom I expect are also Swans members.
Wonder if it would help if the club published membership numbers by state and region ie NSW, Vic etc and country NSW etc?
I don't see a need for it personally, but others may like to see the breakup.
51669 as at today so the app said!!
