Prior to the Scott Seaweed (not a typo) fiasco, election circus, relentless daily media attacks on the club surrounding the Kieran Foran debacle, salary cap issues, Sandow tanking, Hoppa contract dilemma and anything else that could be made up by so called journilists and broadcasters, the club always updated the membership numbers every few weeks on their official website. It has even been removed from the home page.
It has been around 10-12 weeks since it was last updated. It has remained stranded on 22,014.
I know 30,000 was the target at the start of the season and no doubt all of the above mentioned drama's unfortunately have had an impact on the numbers which is a shame.
I am just curious to know if the B&G army has yet again set membership records, despite another year not reaching the finals and more off field dramas in one season than I can recall in the past.

Well spotted Bert, perhaps the lovely Larissa might come on and give you an answer.
Maybe the numbers gone backwards with people handing theirs back into the club LOL.
We had a pretty decent increase on ticketed members this season I read a while back, 15,000 up on 12,500 last year, 20% is pretty good considering we again didn't play finals. I can't see us not increasing again next year with the players we have signed.
none of the numbers mean anything anyway, I know of a few people that sign up their individual pets as members, so the number is never gonna be spot on to how many people are actually members
Dan i think Larissa said that pets were not counted as members on the official tally.
