‘Blow your mind’: Tassie breaks ‘crazy’ AFL record in 24 hours
Just two days after the club’s official launch, AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon revealed on Wednesday there were already 121,000 founding members of the Tasmania Devils.
The ‘founding memberships’ cost $10, a token amount that’s significantly less than official AFL club memberships. Richmond legend Jack Riewoldt, who grew up in Tasmania and is championing the new team, said the membership figures were phenomenal.“We ticked over 100,000 last night at 6:30pm. Crazy stuff. So in a mere 24 hours we’ve had 100,000 people jump on.
The incumbent Liberal Party is fully behind the current stadium plan while Labor wants to renegotiate with the AFL, believing the state has been forced into an unfavourable deal, and proposed the team beginning life playing at smaller venues Blundstone Arena and UTAS Stadium .
