The non paid up members of this group are now classed as supporters.
Lawrence, who was the Dockers’ inaugural No. 1 ticketholder, defended her stance on Monday.
“We were clear that the open letter was from Freo members and supporters,” she said.
“We’re glad to see the letter has started an important conversation around the role of fossil fuel sponsorship of sport, and were interested that other supportive and critical opinions have been shared by members and non-members alike.
“For example, the current Premier has made his feelings known and as former Premier and former Freo No. 1 ticket holder, I think I have a relevant perspective. “We’ve had a lot of people reach out and thank us for starting the conversation, and we’re really pleased to have the club’s former doctor of 25 years, Dr Ken Withers, sign up today to support our position. “This is not a popularity contest; this is about leading and doing what’s right. Many people, especially young people, across Western Australia look up to the Fremantle Football Club and we expect them to show leadership.”
