Interesting to see how they invest the profits. Im hoping the purchase of a Richmond pub can be on
the agenda.

The London would be nice.

A couple of million from merch sales isn't going to buy you a pub in Richmond

And seeing the long term vision of the club is to get out of pokies. Doubt very much a pub is on its agenda

Outside of that I doubt very much they will make as much as 2017

doesn't the club already have $10-$11 million in cash at bank. the club needs to invest in something long term and a new social facility for the supporters would be good.

I think it is clear by reading the annual reports where the club is looking to invest to diversify and generate income from other streams and it isn't in pubs and pokies

Totally agree.

Do you reckon the club even sees the Superstore as being a worthwhile venture? I don’t go there very often, but it never ceases to amaze me how so much of the stuff in the store isn’t advertised on the website.

I get the impression that the club just doesn’t see the superstore as being worthwhile anymore. I mean how hard is it to maintain a website showing what they have in stock?
