The Brisbane Lions have surpassed the 24,000 member mark on the eve of the Club’s QClash 6 battle with the Gold Coast Suns at the Gabba.
The figure represents a growth of 20 percent in total members from 2012. The increase in membership numbers comes on the back of a victorious NAB Cup campaign and some exhilarating wins in season 2013, including the eighth biggest come-back in AFL/VFL history, over Geelong in Round 12.
Lions CEO Malcolm Holmes said: “Members are the life-blood of any football club and we are absolutely thrilled to have 24,000 committed Lions’ members on board.”
“Reaching 24,000 members is a significant achievement for the Brisbane Lions and highlights the loyalty and passion of the Lions faithful.
“According to our 2012 Members Survey, our member satisfaction is the highest it has been since 2009 and the 20 percent rise in membership is in indicative of a happy supporter base, confident that we are on the right path.
“After the recent re-signings of Matthew Leuenberger, Dayne Zorko and Daniel Rich, it’s an exciting time to be a Lions’ member and I encourage all Lions fans who are yet to sign up, to get on board for the remainder of the 2013 season.”
