A united Carlton is a strong Carlton – and senior coach Brendon Bolton has urged fans to sign up as members for season 2016.

After a stirring victory against the Cats on Sunday, Blues supporters across the country are encouraged to sign up, join the journey and become officially #Bound ByBlue. 

“Our players, our coaches, our administrators will feel empowered by strength in numbers,” Bolton told Carlton Media on Tuesday.

Thanks to thousands of Bluebaggers rallying behind the Club, Carlton has eclipsed its 2015 membership tally of 47,305, with the current total sitting at 48,822 members.

With two months left until the 2016 membership cut-off (July 31 2016), the Club is still striving to break its membership record and reach the 51,000 member milestone.

While Bolton acknowledged Carlton still has a “lot of hard work ahead”, the coach issued a call to action to unsigned supporters to officially join as members for 2016.

This weekend when Carlton takes on the Brisbane Lions, we would love to see Etihad Stadium brimming with navy blue, so we are calling on you to support the club you love and be the difference. 

Memberships start from as little as $95 for a three-game membership, so it’s never too late to jump on board for the journey.

For your chance to win a signed Carlton Archive Collection book, valued at more than $200, simply head to our Facebook page tonight and tag a ‘Bagger. If the person you tag then signs up as a member, you’ll automatically go into the draw to win.  

So start channeling your inner Stephen Silvagni and get recruiting!
