Hey all,

Great forum

I read that article shared on this forum about changes in Port Melbourne saying the club may have only 125 members.

Is that right? How many members do the smaller clubs (eg Coburg) have?

That number was just used by the journalist to ad abit of spice and create abit of interest in her story. I think it says something along the lines of - expecting to get 125 members not that they have 125 members.

I asked a club official at the begining of 2013 and I was told that Port has roughly 450 members with every season being roughly the same and consistant. That 125 figure I think was added to dramatise the article.

The local lpaper last year in a article reported that it had about 600 members so to drop down to 125 without any reasonable reason would be very unlikely.
