Eels fans stick solid (What's the Buzz DT)

Parramatta’s move to ANZ Stadium next year is proving surprisingly popular with their fans. Membership numbers are already ahead of the 2017 forecast following a price freeze as a result of last season’s salary cap scandal and all the other debacles coach Brad Arthur had to deal with. The Eels had a membership of 25,0000 — one of the NRL’s largest this season — and have an ambitious target of 27,000 for next season.

    • "Opted out" or not allowed to ever become a member again?
    • I'd assume opted out of the automatic renewal/rollover of membership on Nov 24?
    • That's right.
  • Fans are fans regardless of where our home ground is. I'll be back for more in 2017.
  • The thing that has always annoyed me (but every club does it) is that those numbers include pet memberships
