The Adelaide Football Club has broken its all-time membership record, with the Crows fast-approaching a total of 64,000 members for the first time in its 26-year history.
The Club’s current total of 63,920 members, achieved 12 rounds into the 2016 season, surpasses the 2015 benchmark of 63,038.
The figure is expected to continue to grow, with five matches at Adelaide Oval remaining this season.
Importantly, the number of 11-game members who have access to every Crows home game at Adelaide Oval is once again among the industry’s best.
Crows home games at Adelaide Oval have been consistently sold out this season, with an average crowd of 48,181 attending the first six home games of 2016.
Following the Club’s next two home blockbusters against North Melbourne (June 23) and Collingwood (July 16), the average attendance is expected to rise further.
Crows Chief Executive Officer Andrew Fagan thanked the Club’s supporters for their ongoing loyalty and support which would be the envy of many sporting clubs around the world.
“We’re extremely proud to have surpassed our previous membership record at this stage of the season and I’d like to thank all of our members who have renewed or joined the Club in 2016,” Fagan said.
“There’s no doubt that our members are some of the most passionate in the country and they continue to show our players, coaches, staff and volunteers extraordinary support.
“Since moving to Adelaide Oval in 2014 we have consistently had amongst the highest home match attendances in the AFL and we’re proud to see that trend continue this season.
“We’re extremely grateful for the way every one of our members gets behind our Club, not only by filling the stadium for our home matches but also through wearing our merchandise, engaging with our digital platform and supporting other initiatives such as The Crows Show.”
The Club still has 3-game membership packages available from $95. There are also tickets available for next Thursday night’s clash against North Melbourne. For more information visit 19thman.com.au.
