The North Melbourne Football Club is delighted to announce it has reached 35,000 members for the first ever time.

The Kangaroos broke through the milestone figure on the eve of their match against Carlton.

“It’s a real credit to our loyal and passionate supporters that we’ve been able to set this exciting new benchmark,” North CEO Carl Dilena said.

“It’s been a difficult year in many respects on the field, but we are confident with the path we’re on and to have 35,000 fans sign up shows there’s some real belief in the club and the playing group going forward.”

The Roos are still hoping to add to the total with attractive membership packages still available for upcoming matches against Melbourne, Geelong and Hawthorn.
