Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3281445, member: 9326"] To understand Cronulla's membership problem you really need to understand Cronulla and the Shire itself. It's not all that big in terms of population, it's literally isolated geographically from everywhere else in Sydney, and it's population is neither transient nor is it really growing. People from outside the area rarely move in, and people from inside really only move out if they are priced out from a real estate perspective. It's hemmed in by the ocean and national parks, and it's fiercest rival to the North. This is different to a remote suburban area like Penrith or Campbeltown which still have vast tracks of lands around them where new suburbs are popping up constantly and the population is steadily increasing. Manly are the only real Sydney club with a similar geographic/demographic issue, but decades of success has ensured they have fans spread across the country now, not to mention they made inroads on the Central Coast that have helped prop their numbers up. Cronulla have no such success to call on to bring in fans, nor do they have any relationship with any other location outside a small, very isolated patch in Southern Sydney. [/QUOTE]
