Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2660950, member: 2144"] Well I have had my membership for the last 10 years but I rarely attend on my ticket. I attend on one of my fiancees family ticket (they have 5 season tickets). Those tickets are not in my name, we spoke about changing my seat in to my name a few years after we moved to ANZ but we were nervous of losing the seats if the club stuffed anything up around renewal time. So there is one reason right off the bat for me. Together we have 6 seats but only ever sit in 4. I don't know what the membership numbers break down is but Rabbitohs supporters see it as a financial contribution to the club and may not be able to attend games. It is very much an AFL mentality we are trying to build in regards to memberships. No matter what you do, you join up to the club. You are happy to pay the $100 for a non ticketed membership or pay $245 (like I do) for a season ticket I never sit in. I want to be able to say I am a Season Ticket holder. I pretty much work it out as up to about 25,000 members who attend for a majority of the year and the 7,000 include tickets like mine above and the fans who are not capable of getting to games due to not living in Sydney or in NSW. Other than that I don't know why Sydney siders don't get out more. I don't think it is a band wagon as our membership numbers hit last years levels pretty quickly and we still haven't hit our 35,000 target. If it was a band wagon, we would have hit that number by now. I see all the same faces that sit around us, that turned up when we were shit. I even see people that used to sit around us at SFS or when I used to work for the club. Broncos fans have no idea what it is like to support a team that is going shit. It might have been hard to support the Broncos in the Griffin / Hendrick era's but to be fair the teams were still competitive and the club was able to attract players. Nothing compared to the nightmare that Souths supporters have seen. So give us/them a break. So I agree that the crowd wasn't good enough for a local rivalry but it is far from a band wagon. Anyways long rant over. [/QUOTE]
