After a gutsy five point win against reigning Premiers Geelong in week 2 of the NAB Cup on the weekend, the Saints now head into a semi-final clash against the Bombers on Friday night at Telstra Dome.

Make sure you get down to the game and voice your support for the red, white and black. With the Club 2200 ahead of memberships for the same time last year,  there has never been a more promising time to sign up as a Saint.

St Kilda’s membership tally is currently 24,169, with 7000 members yet to re-join this season, however if we can get all Sainters on board, we can break the Club’s all time Membership record of 32,300.

We believe we have the most loyal Membership base in Australia and the reality is that members are the lifeblood of the Club.

“Members are vital to the Club’s success and with your help, the Saints will be in a position to secure a successful future, both on and off the field” St Kilda CEO, Archie Fraser said.

With the Saints playing their first five games at Telstra Dome, Fraser added the benefits of signing up as a Saint.

“This is a great draw for our members and supporters, as the Saints will be playing 16 games in Melbourne and 14 matches at Telstra Dome. We will also travel to every state except Tasmania, which is great news for Saints supporters all over the country.”

Fraser also added, “The Club has 16 games that will be broadcast on free-to-air TV and with St Kilda playing nine of its first 11 games at Telstra Dome, the Club has a great start to the 2008 season. This will enable our supporters to get behind the Saints, with the Club looking to break its Membership this year.”

We are on a mission to try and reach and beat our all time Membership record and we need your help to do it. We want your commitment, your strength and your loyalty! Call our member hotline on 1300 734 134 to join!

Membership marquees will be set up at this Friday night’s game at Telstra Dome on the Spencer Street Bridge (Membership & Merchandise) and Gate 7 (Membership Only). Don’t forget to send back your membership form to avoid the rush that occurs 2 weeks prior to the start of the season, which is only 25 days away!
