The Emirates Western Force has launched its 2007 membership renewal packages, following on from the success of the inaugural membership drive which saw the club enter the 2006 season with a record 21,000 members.
Along with the highest membership base of the four Australian provinces, the WA club drew an average crowd of 28,424 for its home games at Subiaco Oval in 2006, the fourth highest in the competition.
With a strong off-season under the belt and the recruitment of star players such as Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell and Ryan Cross the team is poised to shine in 2007.
RugbyWA Chief Executive Peter O’Meara said it was an exciting time for the club, and that the coming season would be one to remember for WA rugby fans.
“The Emirates Western Force had great success off the field in 2006, and we are looking to build on that platform,” O’Meara said.
“On the field we have yet to register our first home victory, which will be an unforgettable occasion for rugby in this State. With Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell, Ryan Cross and Troy Takiari joining the team, we are very excited about our chances of success in the 2007 season.”
Gold, Silver, Nickel and Iron memberships offer guaranteed seating for every home game, access to post and pre-match hospitality, exclusive merchandise offers and an opportunity to meet the players. Prices for 2007 range from $110 to $335 for juniors and $180 to $410 for adults.
Membership renewal packs will be sent to existing Emirates Western Force members throughout August. These fans will have first priority in renewing their involvement, but more than 600 rugby enthusiasts have put their names on the expression of interest list for new membership in 2007.
New memberships will become available to the general public from the end of September, at the completion of the members’ renewal period.
