Re: Our Shrinking Membership/Following

The truth is the club has a losing history stretching over 100 years. Many people in our heartland opt to support other teams and we're just not very popular. Melbourne have had it much worse than us...as have Richmond and have they stuck fat and showed us what means. Saints fans are a disappointing...

Re: POLL: Should we wear our Aboriginal guernsey this week a

Indigenous culture should be promoted way more than it is, across the board. In NZ he prominence of Maori culture, the teaching of Maori in schools, just the general celebration and integration is fantastic. Australia should really have a look at some of the stuff NZ has done to lessen the divide b...

Re: What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

I am not sure it's all to do with sucess tbh. Melbourne has more members than us. Were last relevant in the 60s and have had 7-8 very poor seasons end on end.

Re: What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

TL;DR Truth be told we have a lot of Supporters - but not a lot of Members There are a lot of St Kilda barrackers in the Frankston/Carrum Downs/Seaford area - just not a lot of paid up members. But our crowds don't represent this...It does for say Carlton who don't have that many members but if the...

Re: What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

:) We've been waiting for that huge dormant supporter base to show up for 40 years now. They must be waiting for something like a finals run or grand final. Oh wait.

Re: The 8 Pillars of (membership) success!!!!

The thing about propping up with New Zealand is

A. There's barely any fans in New Zealand of AFL let alone St Kilda.
B. I don't want the teams to be nomads like the late Fitzroy.

Re: What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

Are we officially going back to Moorabbin on a full time basis...and what happens to the Investment in Seaford. I am not sure I belive the huge lying dorment supporter base tbh..equal to Richmond in supporters in terms latency so why didn't they come in 10-11 then? Not I don't believe that. I think ...

St Kilda - Heaven & Hell

"THE SAINTS FROM 1897 TO 2003 St Kilda - the name alone brings to mind the very passion of the game. This is a club that has tasted just a brief touch of heaven and more than its fair share of hell. From the glory of that famous 1966 premiership through to years in turmoil, Heaven and Hell trac...

What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

I live a stone throw from Moorabbin Oval. I've met a heap of St Kilda players everywhere from Southland to Elephant Wheelbarrow to footy clinics. But although I've always had an awareness of the Saints I always can't quite manage to explain why their membership and crowds are so very low? Do people ...
