Find this hard to believe, I expected they must have broken through 30k at some point over the years. Maybe outside of the Eastern Suburbs they dont have too many supporters, or the Easterm Suburbs people dont even join up? Dolphins sent out an email in June saying they have 28.5k members already.
Ya was funny, after Roosters crowed about 20k the Swans sent out an email about 62k. AFAIK AFL memberships are quite varied and different, giving a lot more options / affordability.
