The Melbourne Stars have broken their membership record for the second straight year, with 14,185 people signing up to see the Stars across WBBL|09 and BBL|13.
Fans have also voted with their eyeballs with Stars games rating 9.1 per cent higher on TV than BBL|12.
“A huge thankyou goes to all of our Melbourne Stars members, whether new or old and for being a huge part of our journey throughout WBBL|09 and BBL|13,” said Melbourne Stars General Manager Blair Crouch.
“Melbourne Stars members and fans are the most committed in the competition and we saw wonderful crowds at both our WBBL and BBL MCG derbies, despite both being rain affected matches.
“We also had our biggest non-derby crowd at the MCG since BBL|07 against the Sixers and we hope we can break our membership record again in WBBL|10 and BBL|14.”
Melbourne Stars are a Twenty20 cricket franchise based in Melbourne, Victoria, competing in Australia’s Big Bash League. The team wears a green uniform and plays its home matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
