Adelaide has broken its membership record for the fourth consecutive season.

This year’s tally hit 68,000 just days before the Club’s women’s team plays in the inaugural AFLW Grand Final and the men kick off their season against premiership fancy GWS.

It eclipses the record mark of 67,874 achieved in 2016 and is testament to the intense passion among the supporter base.

The Crows also hold the title for the highest average home match attendances, not just in the AFL but in Australian club sport. The number of 11-game Members who have access to all Crows home games continues to be among the League’s top echelon.

Crows CEO Andrew Fagan described Members as the driving force behind the Club and game in general.

“To break the record yet again is a remarkable achievement and demonstrates the loyalty and enthusiasm of our supporters,” Fagan said.

“Our Members are the backbone of the Club and underpin everything we do and aspire to achieve.

“They always turn out in large numbers and make themselves heard at games across the country, and most recently have got right behind our women’s team.

“We are fortunate and always grateful for their support not just on match days but also in the way in which they engage across our digital platform and with our community initiatives.”

The Club still has 3-game membership packages available from $99 for adults and $30 for juniors.

There are also tickets available for Sunday afternoon’s game against the Giants at Adelaide Oval.
