| Enjoy the trip and game Watto!! Am envious of you! the one game I would love to go and see is the An z ac clash. I saw them play 2 years ago on the return leg which was great but it would have been a diff. atmosphere! Johns has been called up to help Lloyd so will be interesting to see how he goes! he replaces Lovett-Murray who was omitted! |

| Off to Melb and the MCG tomorrow to watch the big match from the pocket. Cant wait. Would have liked a few more of our best 22 out there, but if a few of the boys can keep improving their games a bit more, think we will have a great crack at the Pies. Was hoping to see Dempsey back and causing havoc off half back, but looks like will have to wait another week. Anyways, gunna be a great match. Go bombers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| free access to BombersTV for the next week if anyone is interested .. .go to www.essendonfc.com.au has interviews, games and some other features which bomber fans would find interesting nad maybe others who love their football and are not too biased to their own teams ;) |

| gee u would think carlton would have got more at this time of year considering they got krueger and Judd. I guess the carlton fans can see through alll that and see carlton is playing for cousins! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ok here are the membership numbers for each club at end of 2007, how many per cent each club has risen or fallen can only be really known at end of 2008 Beautiful Crows---50,976 West Coast--------45,959 Freo--------------43,343 Port--------------34,073 Sydney------------32,500 Brisbane----------21,976 as for the vic based clubs Collingwood-------38,587 Carlton-----------35,433 Essendon----------34,219 Hawthorn----------31,065 St Kilda----------30,850 Geelong-----------30,169 Richmond----------30,044 W. Bulldogs-------28,725 Melbourne---------28,077 Kangaroos---------22,372 so i hope these numbers have been helpful, also even if essendon has increased by 6% and collingwoods remained the same (which i doubt very much) collingwood still is the vic club with most members followed by carlton then essendon, thanx adrian. |

| next time u go to a game can you count all the heads and divide by 2.5? haha seriously, I couldn't be bothered creating a new thread so continued on this one, which would show the increase of members. feel free to let us know what pies have, I would guess it would be more then the bombers but when I originally started this thread bombers were leading :) |

| Judging by the crowd at Carrara our interstate fan base is still pretty strong. On the membership front, i think alot of fans were encouraged by the good signs from alot of our young fallas last year, and with a change in coach and the start of a new era, there is plenty of excitement in the bomber camp. The Lions game just highlights that there is alot of potential in these kids. I think we will top the 35000 and could push 40000 yet. Most importantly though, there are signs of improvement in skill level, defensive pressure and composure on the field from the youngens. Whatever this year holds there will be plenty of excitement and i think that reflects in our strong membership. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| yeah look what winning premierships did to brisbane and sydney sheet membership numbers! brisbane are hoping for 28,000 this year, we have p1ssed all over that! its the members that bring the money into the club and keep it there! no never claimed you went for other teams I claimed you had other ids! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| big deal we have finally given the flick to the vegies (still half a dozen to go) as i told you last year. four years wasted. has anyone ask why other teams have ready made players we end up with long term hopefuls who dont make it. pointless having the largest membership in vic if we are at the wrong end of the ladder and before you carry on old cantona and reckon i barrack for someone else you know from last year i was right | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the bombers will always have a strong following | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You will need to win 4 of the first 5 games if you are to reach 40,000...Not sure that is a reallity, but good luck to them i for one dont mind them....I played for Ainslie with Jimmy along long time ago | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Essendon leads Victorian membership http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/news.asp?nid=557 1 Monday, 11 February 2008 Essendon is first Victorian club to pass the magic 30,000 members mark with 30,003 fans now part of the team for 2008. Customer Marketing Manager, Eartha Barclay, said fans continue to flock to the club with many bouyed by the strong showing of new recruits David Myers, Tayte Pears and Cale Hooker in Saturday's intra-club match at Casy Fields in Cranbourne. "Overall, Essendon is 1,636 members (or 6 per cent) up on the same time last year," Barclay said. "Junior memberships are continuing to have an excellent response, up 13 per cent on the same time last year." The membership target for 2008 is 40,000, a feat never achieved before by the club. "The strong membership - especially by our younger fans - highlights the excitement people have in seeing players like Leroy Jetta, Scott Gumbleton, Paddy Ryder and Courtenay Dempsey supporting our established stars," Barclay said. "There is alot of excitement and anticipation surrounding Essendon's 2008 season and fans right across the country - and even overseas - are supporting their club by signing up as members." |
