North announce record AFL membership

Add 45,000 to the big AFL numbers that North Melbourne are celebrating.

In the week that Brent Harvey plays his record 427th match, the Kangaroos have also set a club membership mark.

It is the first time they have had more than 45,000 members.

“There is a lot to celebrate this week obviously, but we set a really strong target of 45,000 members and it’s fantastic that our supporters are getting on board,” said coach Brad Scott.

North have had five-straight years of membership growth, with the number doubling since 2007.

It is particularly significant for the `Roos, given they have one of the smaller supporter bases among the AFL clubs.
