Title: Will you be renewing your membership in 2017?
Post by: 🏅Dooks on August 14, 2016, 08:14:35 AM
Will you be renewing your membership for next year? Vote up.

It's up for debate in our household. Simply, not sure we are prepared to part with high hundreds of dollars to watch and help fund the same crap and then be lied to or not appreciated.

In our house, and broader family who contribute about 20 memberships (and have done so since the mid 90's), this year has been the straw which has broken the camels back.

The player trade period and who gets shown the door in terms of coaches and recruiters will play a massive part in our decision.

In summary, the issues include:-

Funding a team of dishonest persons within the club unable to deliver
Drafting, Playing and retention of certain players
Disrespect of fans

Sounds exactly like the description of my family - haha!

I always have this argument with Dad and my bro - we always end up signing up. I'm resigned to locking myself in for eternity. I look at it like my car rego or insurance, a bucketload of money you have to pay for little in return.

I have a three-game membership now and haven't been to a game yet lol.  Worse than that, I don't want to go to a game.

Worse than that, I couldn't be bothered even looking up who we play the following week

And it's not only because Richmond are pathetic and will never change, but the game itself stinks, and has for a while.

This from someone who went to every practice match, every game, as many interstaters that I could afford, to absolutely nothing.  No interest and never will have it back again.

When the game chose to take a path of "professionalism" and take the "heart" out of the game, became this moral compass on how players should act, supporters should support, change every rule in the book every year, take out the speccies, the individualism, even the thuggery (to a point), they lost me.

I watch this site and I wonder how you poor sods are still surviving this garbage.  Honest, you don't deserve it.  You have better things you can be doing lol - do some gardening, read a book, take your dog for a walk, play with your kid, whatever lol - you honestly don't deserve what you get served up.

I agree with many that there was a time there when the AFL went through a great era - access to the club wasn't contrived and the game itself wasn't as manufactured and standard compromised - I've seen a palpable drop in standard since the extra teams have arrived.
Having said that, all sport has dropped in my interest because of the above.
I used to love tennis through the 80's and now find it unwatchable.
The absence of any batting and bowling skill in the Australian cricket team is a disgrace - yet they are top of the ladder in cricket.

Having said all of the above, I love AFL the most and at its best the game is amazing to watch.
As for the Tigers - if I wasn't renewing, I wouldn't be posting, I wouldn't be going - id simply move onto something else.
I don't see us as negativity as others but definitely agree with the a number of the points made.
Particularly player development and coaching game plan (who the hell would be scared being tackled by a Richmond player?) and the complete lack of pro active list management are areas that should've been addressed at the end of 2014.
But while I remained interested in the Tiges, I'll stump up the cash.
There are plenty of other things in life that don't deliver which I'll happily opt out of before Peggy and the gang  ;D

1965 actually raised a really good option and it's one I intend to take.

I will get the base 3 game membership. Solely so I keep my gold successive years going.

My daughters will miss out.

Will go from spending 1400 to spending the bare minimum.

Cotch and Dimma can stick their four walls up their arse.

Put simply.

They are liars and we as members are misled.

I don't let results impact my feelings. It's not about winning and losing, it's about how we as members are treated.

This isn't a normal situation. The club begged us with FTF. We have a "war chest" apparently. Why don't they actually have a crack and use the stuffing thing.

Prestia will be a good pick up, he sure as hell isn't the saviour though.

Also, signing Dimma like they did wasn't smart business. Where was he going to go? Who was going to poach him from outside Richmond. Surely a year extension would have sufficed??

But more than anything else, I truly believe a percentage of the club have neglected to treat paying members with a semblance of respect. I think our captain and a few others need to remember there is more to an AFL club than just the four walls.

The equation is VERY simple .. No members = no club = no employer = no millions of dollars for salaries.

These imbeciles need to understand the fans pay their wages. This is done via members and people tuning in at home (TV rights).

I travel from country vic to the games and I'm over the effort.

The AFL now is business. It's corporate. Aboriginal round, multi cultural round, Anzac round, woman's round, gay round, cancer round ... Every round other than a white Anglo Saxon male round.

You treat customers with respect. We are the customers.

We are buying the product from Richmond.

Firstly, the product we are buying is like buying a cheap Chinese knock off (Panafonic).
Secondly, they are telling lies whilst providing a sub standard product.
Thirdly, we are being treated like fools.

Zero respect.

If it was a normal business , it would have gone broke long ago.

If this was retail, people would stop buying the crap they are schilling.

For me a lot depends on how the trade period goes and who they get as assistant coaches.  If we give up pick 6 for Prestia I wont be renewing unless we get a draft pick in return.

U guys r stuffn crazy.

The only vote they will listen to, is you not buying memberships.

They won't have any moving space with stuff all memberships.

Members CAN control the club....not with a vote but with their financial contributions.

If u want change -STOP PAYING UNTIL DIMMER, PEGGY AND GALE ARE ALL GONE.

8.2.4 Members can only opt out of the Committed Tiger at the conclusion of their last installment and the first installment for the following season by notifying the Club either in writing or via email membership@richmondfc.com.au. All outstanding payments must be complete at time of opting out.

https://membership.richmondfc.com.au/member-zone/tcs-0


Am assuming this means you need to opt out after Oct 15th but before Nov 15th.

Have had a membership for a very long time.

Won't be renewing next year if Hardwick is there.

He should have been sacked five years ago.  His game plan is unwatchable and doesn't work.

No way will I continue to fund a regime that facilitates mediocrity.

Have had a membership for a very long time.

Won't be renewing next year if Hardwick is there.

He should have been sacked five years ago.  His game plan is unwatchable and doesn't work.

No way will I continue to fund a regime that facilitates mediocrity.

OK Thanks for letting us know

I won't be giving the club another cent whilst Hardwick remains coach. Those that approved his 2 year extension can cover my contributions.

In the other hand if they admit they made a mistake and pee him off then I am happy to contribute to the payout cost

I already know Dumma will be there but I've got some other questions.......

Will Betamax still be there?
Will BJ Hartley still be there?
Will "Chocco' still be there?
Will Lard still be there?
Will we recruit Cloke?


If the answer is yes to these questions I'd have to decline.

Lets extrapolate the figures.

So a third say no renewal. A third say maybe. A third say yes.

72000 members. Based on our (very limited) sample and extrapolating out:-

- 24000 members will renew.
- Another 24000 are sittimg back and considering whetger to.
- 24000 have had enough.

Best case scenario 48000. Massive hit.

Let's face it though, most of the people saying they won't renew are just having a temper tantrum and will renew before the year is out

Already done. Cancelled a month ago.

Funny they never once returned an email or call but the calls have been coming the last month.

Now il just sit in M18 with my AFL membership.

The club can get stuffed- hopefully 15k don't sign up then change will happen

Cancelled mine about 2 months ago.  Went absolutely mental and insisted they stop deducting monthly amounts from my account immediately so I got 2 months for free which didn't matter as I haven't gone to a game.  Also insisted they send an email word for word to Gale.  Something to the effect that this club is a stuffing disgrace and they wont get a cent from me as long as that simpleton hardwick is our coach.  They agreed to send the email (doubt they did though).  Gotta say the membership dept do a good job.
