“the club has broken the 39,000-member mark on Monday before a ball has been kicked in anger in 2007”. Schwab: “Our new membership level represents an increase in our membership of over 9 per cent on our record 35,666 members set in 2006.”

No one can accuse me of being a bandwagon hopper. I thought this moment might come. Memberships and good seats are going to get harder and harder to come by.

Good luck trying to get a seat to see either of the WA teams this year.
