Success Brings the Rewards
For many years people said a Swans Premiership would make us millions in memberships and sponsorships and the acticle above clearly proves that point, concidering the club have already surpassed last year's membership figure of around 25,000 and are on track to surpass the all-time record of around 31,000 set in 1998 and reach the club target of 35,000 members this with 40,000 in the following few years.
Good quotes also from the article in regards to our finances include
Swans chief executive Myles Baron-Hay is confident the club will also sell out its corporate suites and boxes for the entire season "for the first time in a very long time", and increase sponsorship revenue by 20 per cent.
and
Sydney's guernsey is already worth close to $3 million and the famous red and white jumper the most valued in the AFL before Collingwood's strip.
So despite not making a huge profit for last season we are on track to create enough revenue to post a million dollar plus profit this coming season if things keep going the way they are and the teams form keeps the club in the top 4.
Also from the article we have a pointer as to whom might not be lining up this Friday Night against Essendon and North in the NAB Cup a week later.
Barry Hall, Leo Barry, Michael O'Loughlin, Nick Davis, Paul Williams, Tadhg Kennelly, Adam Goodes and other frontliners are unlikely to play against the Kangaroos in the first round of the NAB Cup in Canberra on February 25, regardless of availability.
and
Gerard Healy endorsed the Swans' policy. "It is common sense if Roosy is playing his young guys early to give them as much exposure as possible," Healy said.
