Wildcats break yet another record
Fresh from extending their records for finals appearances and championships, the Wildcats have broken their own record for pre-season membership!!!
Now that I've got all the haters reading, I'm seriously wondering how their other teams are doing?
After disappointing numbers (for them) in the past two seasons, the Cats were very aggressive in encouraging memberships this time round. Costs have been contained, and an extended payment plan offered.
Perhaps as a result, they have exceeded their previous best in terms of membership numbers pre-season.
BUT, there is also the rather obvious point that we're coming off a championship win, and people LOVE a good bandwagon. Plus The Dockers sucked balls this season, and the Eagles dropped a notch or two. This time last year, most WA sports fans were still in AFL mode.
So seriously, how is the rest of the league doing?
We all know that we're spending more on players this time round, and it FEELS like there is more hype around the NBL. But is there any sign yet that we're going to get more bums on seats around the country?
Anyone know how many members Brissy have signed up?
