The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Membership base has reached new heights in 2023, as the Club soars over 20,000 Members for the first time since 2016.

The milestone comes just days before one of the biggest games of the season at Accor Stadium, as the Bulldogs line up to verse age-old rivals, Parramatta in the King’s Birthday Long Weekend i4Give Cup.

Chief Executive, Aaron Warburton was delighted to hear the Club had broken a seven-year best:

“It’s an exciting milestone for the club which now boasts 21,571 Members,” he said.

“Our eldest member, Alfred will turn 92 later this month, while our youngest member, Brodie was born just this week - arriving on Tuesday, May 30.

“It’s amazing to have so many blue and white faithful pledge their commitment to the Bulldogs this season.”

Membership growth in 2023 has been bolstered by blockbuster match returns to Belmore Sports Ground – the spiritual home of the Bulldogs and the regional favourite, a Bundaberg return.

Members will once again enjoy the footy at Belmore Sports Ground, when the NRL returns in Round 20 for the Bulldogs to take on the Broncos.

With three Accor Stadium home games still to come including the Eels clash, and a Round 20 Belmore match, it isn’t too late for fans to jump on board and run with the pack in 2023.

Further enticing the Bulldogs’ faithful to jump on board and experience the action, the Club is proud to offer access to all four remaining home games in Sydney plus the Away match v. Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium for less than $20.00 per match for new Members in a new and exclusive Membership offer.

Secure your seats to cheer the side home in 2023, by grabbing a $99.00 Membership now (from $72.00 for juniors) and joining us for five massive matches.

The 20,000+ Membership base is a seven-year best for the Club, to celebrate the Bulldogs have announced an open training and signing session for Members.

“From everyone at the Bulldogs, we want to thank all those who have committed to our Club as members. The future is very bright with you on board as we build towards something pretty special here at the Club,” Warburton added.

“We have so many things to look forward to on and off the field. As our Academy continues to grow stronger and stronger, so too does our supporter base and for this, we can’t thank our members enough.”

The ongoing growth and development of our young, talented side under the stewardship of Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo and General Manager of Football Phil Gould is very pleasing.

In recognition of the committed members, the Club has dedicated it’s Round 20 Belmore home game against the Broncos to them – as Members Appreciation Round (Saturday July, 15).

The Club is also pleased to reveal the dates of our annual Family Fun Day which will take place on Saturday, June 17.

“To celebrate our Club reaching this milestone, we want to invite all our Members to join us at Belmore Sports Ground for this family fun extravaganza. It will be a chance to mingle with the players, get some autographs, support our pathways players and enjoy some free activities on the Club.”

“As for our members, we’re asking them to fetch a friend and help us track towards an all-time record member number… would it be too ambitious to go for 23 [thousand] in ’23?!”

If you have a mate who claims to be born and bred but isn’t yet a member, ask them to run with the pack. If you refer a friend who joins, we’ll gift you a bonus $30.00 Mber+ credit to spend on our new range of exclusive Member Merchandise.
