the nrls membership drive has been a massive, massive success

...If only ESL would pay attention to the NRL when it comes to marketing, promotion and these sorts of things.......I appreciate that the NRL is a far bigger league in Australia than ESL in England, but still, I am sure there are plenty of RL Fans who would attend games all weekend if they could do so on a decently priced system.

I even suggested that ESL clubs should offer a 50 quid add on to ST;s that would give them entry to Championship and C1 games as well all season....extra revenue for thses lower league clubs and additional residuals from food, merchandise etc....

Ironically GF, even the London Broncos had a membership drive before the NRL.

at current rates we should see total memberships at around 150,000 or more vs 130,000 or so from last year

if the nrl keeps this ups crowds will go through the roof

Re: 2011 Season ticket sales : Fri Jan 21, 2011 4:12 am  

you could see the difference it is already starting to make last year in crowds, particularly Sydney ones. Far fewer sub 10k crowds and more consistent 13-15k ones. Still a long way to go and some teams need to get their act togther to translate their latent support into members and attendees but things looking good.

Poor showing from Melbounre, given the cities membership culture, the need to attract some new ownership and the season from hell last year to see they haven't even got memberships for sale yet is staggering!
