The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS have reached 10,000 members in the club's first year in the AFL.
GIANTS Chief Executive David Matthews said it was a significant milestone for the club on the eve of the second Sydney Derby against the Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium.
"I want to thank everyone across Sydney, Canberra and indeed right around Australia for their support of the club in our inaugural year," Matthews said.
"This is another milestone for the GIANTS as we continue to grow our supporter base. I especially want to acknowledge Kevin Sheedy for the work he has done to promote our club over the past two and half years but all of our hard working team on and off the field.
"Most of all, I want to acknowledge the fans who have shown tremendous faith in us as a club as we embark on this exciting journey, particulary those people in Western Sydney who have taken us into their hearts.
"2012 has shown a lot of people what this club is capable of in the years to come and how a second club in Sydney has already helped grow the game through increased membership, attendances, TV audiences and greater exposure of the game across New South Wales."
Matthews said with 10 games to go in the home and away season the GIANTS wanted to continue to build their membership and a number of different packages were available to those who wanted to show their support for the club.
