According to the West Australian newspaper. A great achievement.
I believe if Sydney and Melbourne can consistently win and improve their culture, I see no reason why these numbers can't be duplicated in these two major cities.
The next major area that the NBL needs to be improved apon is television audiences. Still a tonne of work to be done there.

Loeliger says what we're all thinking!
What's more interesting is the Cats have more haters then most other teams have members combined!

The West is such a rag.
The article briefly mentions 11,200 (interesting) but then has a clip of a totally unrelated video - re: Simmons. Would be more interesting if the article elaborated more on why Perth are such a big club.
Perth are a big club because they are better run then the others.

When Perth moved to the Arena and I first heard their target of 10k and remember thinking it would never be achieved. To see 11,200 now is incredible.

Fantastic effort to have that many.
I was able to get 10,000 followers on instagram but it cost bye US$200

To have maintained their numbers over a long period now is also extraordinary, along with doing so after the WA economy has tanked. Well done them.

Yes as much as they are a bunch of w..kers, it's a great credit to them.
Rather than have the CEO state the obvious and praise Perth, I'd like to see them get on the ass of the other clubs to, as Homicide would say, "step their game up".
Perth are a great advertisement for the league, but they can't carry the league themselves. The likes of Sydney are an embarrassment to the league.
Won't be long before the Wildcats will need a bigger stadium
