They are a one City Team (POP. of 2.5 Million not including the sunshine coast) at the moment, they have the best Rugby League stadium in the world to watch a game and second to none Access to and from the Stadium.
Even if the Stadium is half full the atmosphere is electric.
It takes me 15 minutes to drive and park, or I can get a train to the door or the same with a bus, I am fortunate to have a parking space under the Stadium, walk 25M to an elevator and walk another 25 M to my seats 12 rows back on the Halfway line.
Even without the parking space and I drove to the stadium it is only a 300M walk to the stadium, people do not paying a little more for something if it is good.
Exactly , imagine if Sydney were a one city team.........

All the excuses would still come out despite the population of Sydney being double Brisbane
Well, to be fair. There's fck all to do in Brisbane. You're either going to the footy for entertainment or you're looking at those 3 buildings they have next to their S bend river and going to their 900 year old "casino".

Sunday footy show quoted 22k members

Someones reputation is on the line here then. I also thought 30k was just too much
I can give you a brief comparison between the Broncos and Panthers at that time. The Broncos were on target for 30,000 fully ticketed members, expected growth to 35,000 over the next few seasons. The Panthers had less than 5000 ticketed members.

I think it comes down to the fact Brisbane is a one team town.

And Suncorp is not that good a stadium.

Thank you! We love to brag about Suncorp being the best stadium in Australia. Granted, you're close to the action but other countries are laughing at us.

Yeah, right.

I don't like the Broncos either, but Suncorp is a great RL/rectangular stadium. The best in Australia at least.

We definitely need to overhaul our membership packages. We need more people at games.

Surely some cheaper memberships would result in more money overall.

You would think having cheaper things and selling them in greater quantities would work but our club seems to think it won't. I reckon it would work big time especially for people who might not be so well off or are having hard times (new families, big families, students, pensioners and etc) which seems to be most of Western Sydney today and that is where our fan base mostly live/are.

It is up to the club but maybe they need letters/words of advice from everyday people who are fans not only some business/financial analysts to make a decision like this.
