Oh for sure, $100000 per game is huge. That's $12 million a year. They'd need 60000 ticketed members at current rates to match that. And really that's what they'd have to hope for, so that any walk up crowd would be profit.
Crowe may of copped some slack about this but I tell you what In my mind this is the smartest membership drive I've seen for years.
Tell me which other clubs membership drive was plastered all over every newspaper, television station, radio station and internet news site today???

I have seen some more of the the video message. It's hilairous - especially when he starts talking about all the awesome merchandise available in the club store. Dodgy salesman at its finest.
If only the 50000 alleged protestors from 1999 actually bought tickets and merchandise when they got back in the club might actually be worthy of holding an NRL licence.
History smistory! We are supposed to learn the lessons of history and not make those mistakes again. It's bloody football not an empire. If a football team is not viable for as long as South Sydney has been unviable they don't belong any more in the competition and by keeping them in all we do is bring the whole competition down. (A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link)
