Is now the time to boost club . A. .membership - RedPassion.co.uk

We should see some bumper gates here on in and a few thousand Wxm supporters will likely to be non- members.

Membership means buy-in and the club are missing out, not just by the very modest membership fees, but in many other areas, including regular communication with these fans. I believe increased membership means increased gates and it should also work in reverse.

Membership adverts/application should be the first thing that hits you on the Official website, not hidden behind a few tabs and I would like to see match day tickets discounted for club members.

There is a feel good factor around the club currently and the club should be maximising its potential by increasing membership.

If it was a fan based membership scheme such as the Welsh fa, then yes.

What you are asking for is another couple of thousand supporters to join a trust that (don't shoot me) have decisions to make and policies to act upon. Not everyone wants this...believe it or not, some folk actually just want to support their local club. Wake up on a Saturday, no work, hangover, looks nice outside, ring your mates, fancy a game today?

How will people react when we have 5k in the trust but none of 4k don't vote on wst issues? Glory hunters only there for the tickets etc etc...?

By the way, sorry, yes. I do agree, let's keep this feel good factor going for as long as possible

Due to demand you could miss games if not a WST member/season ticket holder.

Just seems like a no brainer to me. Doesn’t cost much to join and all funds in the club pot.

The WST should always be looking at ways in increase membership.
Birthday and Christmas packages would be good as its always difficult to buy for family and friends.

The time to do good business is when the crop is ready for harvest - we should exploit the feel good factor - and there's no better time to do it than when a club is top of the league and on the closing straight.

Agreed! I know it was said around 7 1/2 years ago that membership gift cards were in the works. Did anything ever come of this?

It just goes to show what being top of the league means. Two weeks ago, there wasn’t a feel-good factor around the club. Far from it. In fact, whatever the opposite is to feel-good, that was Wrexham when Barrow quit.
