Super Rugby Membership Watch

[KevinO]

yeah I've been meaning to get an interstate one. 3600 sounds low. Didn't they get 10,000 last year? Only 10 weeks to go!

After the crap they played last season I think they are lucky to be at 3600. They where aiming for 10k but never got there.

Yes, I am resigned while I type this.

Reds 20081
Rebels 3641 as a month ago.

Chiefs 3,003 with a 5K target

No membership stats on any of the other NZ franchise sites.

rebels got a bit over 8K last year.

be surprised if they get more than 6 this year, at the start anyway

 

[Marcelo]

Reds 21,008

Link of Tahs information? I was looking at their website but I didn't find it

On the SEN interview with Harris they said the Rebels got 7.5k roughly last year and are on track to break it this year. Don't believe they got 8k.

i recall laurie weeks standing in front of a counter that said 8104 or something like that, could be wrong

Here's an article from 2012 bravely predicting 35,000 members for Reds

This article summarises Waratahs 2013 financial results with a footer stating 2012 (11k) & 2013 (18.5k) member numbers. Not sure if 2014 numbers have been released yet

Listened to it again, 7750 was the number they released to SEN anyway.

You may be thinking of this...

Rebels memberships are doing pretty well:

Prop humour at its miserly best.

Couple of provinces have been accused of boosting their numbers through selling 1-game membership packages. Otherwise known as "tickets"

All provinces sell a no game membership package.. Most provinces including the Tahs and QLD sell 3 game packages..

Tahs targeting 30,000 members this year. Surey they should get that shouldnt they?
Last year was just shy of 20k.

Ahem, Reds, ahem

I'm OUTRAGED. Oh wait. No forget I said anything.

Reds 21,983

2014: 26,747
2013: 26,500
2012: 26,000
2011: 15,626

(Figures are approximately the same dates i.e. +/- a week leading into the super rugby season)

 

[Scoey]

On one hand that's quite surprising and on the other it's not.

Last season's form will have certainly had an impact, but I wonder if the earlier start has any impact one way or another. Still good numbers either way and plenty of room to pickup going into the season.
