The Vodafone Brisbane Lions passed two membership milestones on Monday 31 March in the wake of their thrilling two-point win over Collingwood in last Friday night's Gabba blockbuster.

Not only did the Club tick over the 23,000 members mark, but they also passed last year's membership tally of 23,072 with 23,079 members as of 5pm Monday.

The Lions are now expecting Melbourne-based fans to sign up as members in force before their first Victorian game in Round 7 against Geelong on Saturday 3 May at Skilled Stadium.

The Club is also hoping that current Lions members encourage their friends, family and work colleagues to catch footy fever along with them and sign-up before the Lions heavyweight battle with modern nemesis Sydney this Saturday 5 April at the Gabba from 7:10pm.

There are rewards and prizes for Lions members who sign up fellow members under the Club's Member Get Member program which are detailed in the 2008 Brisbane Lions Membership Information booklet and on the lions.com.au website in the Membership section.
