Well the count down is on ;D
With the AFL draw due out on Friday morning and the club saying the 2012 membership campaign will be launched within 48 hours of the draw being released it got me thinking what sort of slogan will we have for 2012
Last week they did say at the fan forum that new logo would feature significantly in the campaign
Anyone want to take a stab at what the slogan will be?
-
Won't matter. The fact it's different is all that's needed to bring the winds of successful change sweeping down on Punt Rd.
-
How about "Finals or your money back"?

How about "Finals or your money back"?

How about "The Tiger is Burning" For all those Redneck's who will be out in force when were 0 and 5 Blaming the new logo :lol :lol

If Stig reads this, make sure we promote the 3 game memberships BEFORE Mother's Day this year. Missed out on a great gift opportunity this past year.

I'm guessing the word "Unity' OR "United" may appear somewhere in the slogan.

Was thinking that myself RRjet
Was also thinking the word "Proud" will get a run somewhere
Probably somewhere in the 6 minute video of the logo launch the m'ship slogan is there (crypitically) and we just have to find it ;D

We were told at the fan forum that the slogan would be linked to the new logo. On the Social club membership flyer they have the new logo and "Proud, Relentless, United, Leadership" at the top.

"Stick Fat even if you do hate the new Logo."

You all need to go to Adel and experience a game there ;D
During the game the scoreboard & ground announcers go on an on about the "19th man" and then use what can only be described as a poor man's roar meter to get the crowd fired up ;D
-
"Stick Fat even if you do hate the new Logo."
Is Spud coming up with the new slogan?! ;D
If it's Spudley's slogan, you have to make it
"stick fat even if you hate the logo because in 2012, we've lowered our eyes and we cherry ripe Dwayne"

Not sure anyone can knock Adelaide.
Hardwick banged on about the 19th man last year in a shameless attempt to build crowds.

In the early days of the Crows, their supporters at Footy Park would make Crow noises after each goal. Graham Kennedy was banned from live television for that :wallywink.

how are we behind the 8 ball? what tripe
Our season finished beginning of Sept.
Supposedly a lot of positive "vibes" coming out of Punt ROad after our finish to the season would suggest that you would try and utilise that..you know cash in on the momentum
Club has said they couldn't do anything about 2012 memberships until the draw was released. To borrow your phrase "what tripe"
They then said within 48 hours of the draw being released and we are still waiting
Other clubs (stragglers) have managed it we should have too
Hope your vouchers include Fries ;D
-
Nope :(
-
Agree. I just joined West Coast for the Hungry Jacks vouchers.
See ya Tiges.
I can just see gerks sitting behind the goal posts at Pattersons, waving his messages on hold sign like a crazed banshee. :rollin
-
Long weekend majority are more worried about a little race that happened yesterday and apart from a few diehards most aren't really fussed about the 2012 membership slogan in late October early November 2011.
Absolute crap we are behing the 8 ball by releasing it after the long weekend.
-
Absolute crap we are behing the 8 ball by releasing it after the long weekend.
I am not talking about the long weekend (though for some us we didn't get a long weekend ;D) because you are correct a horse race had most people's attention yesterday
What I am talking about is the fact that our season finished in early Sept and 2 months on nothing.
The Club had a lot of positive moementum with the last month of the season and they could of, should of captilised on that.
they've managed to launch a new logo but not the membership campaign. Perhaps they could have linked the two
-
Membership launching very soon according to RFCO.

Great scoop Trent :clapping.
This slogan is similar to our 2002 campaign - "Roar Fire Roar Fury Roar Power"
Lids is probably wondering why he's the only top-liner not in the poster. Rance has got the gig ahead of him.
-
I would like to take the credit but a guy on BF found it
-
That guy was me
You are welcome

Out of interest, here's our membership slogans over the past decade:
2001 True Tiger
2002 Roar Fire Roar Fury Roar Power
2003 Forever
2004 Yellow and Black, It's in the Blood
2005 Follow your Heart - Yellow and Black, It's in the Blood
2006 Tribal Fever - The Tribal Council has Spoken
2007 The Tiger Movement (Experience Generation Next)
2008 The New Tigers of Old - Rising to the Challenge
2009 Total Tiger
2010 Yellow and Black - Feel it. Live it. Love it
2011 The Tiger is Stirring
2012 Roar Pride Roar Passion Roar Power
-
Don't like it. Too similar to the 2002 slogan.
-
No Comment
;D :rollin ;D

Well it's all official now
From the RFC Site:
Roar to the core
By Tony Greenberg 10:42 AM Thu 03 Nov, 2011
In Part:
Given the stirring nature of the Tiger roar at Richmond games, it made perfect sense for the Club to revolve its 2012 membership campaign around this iconic Yellow and Black attribute.
“Roar Pride, Roar Passion, Roar Power” is a reflection of the honour Tiger fans feel in supporting such a heritage-rich, overall successful league club, and the overwhelming commitment they make to the Yellow and Black cause which, as a combination, truly is an irresistible force.

5. Jack and TV kicking over 100 goals between them
6. Grimesy's return as if he didn't miss a beat post-injury
7. Maric actually can ruck and compete
8. Morris is a good pick up as our new back-pocket

And the Pies are supposed to be putting one together next week
The Australian Dental Association will be using the same ad to warn the public about poor dental health ;D.
-
packaged with the Australian Medical Associations announcements on the effects of drug / alcohol abuse and blunt force trauma on mental faculties and general appearance.
-
Is a tv commercial really the best value the club can get given your trying to market to so few and purchasing tv advertising is comparatively expensive, as is the production.
We should maximise work in social media where promotion is comparatively cheap but can be shared from fan to fan and re-tweeted and shared along facebook walls before going for some massive TV campaign.
The depths of social media would go far beyond the reach of tv generally* for our means imo. TV is for mass marketing for a product for the masses.
*Richmond games and possibly AFL panel shows on Fox but even then they dont start until early next year when we would want our membership drive well and truly rocking. Even a radio ad on SEN would have better bang for buck of our target market than a tv commercial. And making up some kind of Richmond story for the HUN and purchasing a colour membership ad right below it.

We'll do an ad for Foxtel that will be shown next year but nothing out of the ordinary.
You have to ask yourself what the best way to spend limited money is. Essendon had a press conference for their membership launch, they made a commercial, etc.
We didnt do any of that and still have had a pretty good jump on membership.

Hey Mr RFC_O
Do you have answer on MT's question from the other day?
RFCO, are there pics of the new members cap and scarf?
-
Pretty poor from the club. We should also be making an ad that will go to fta tv. The bombers will now surely get 60k. We will be lucky to get 50 when if we tried hard enough we could have pushed 60 this year.

Last year the rewards programme gave an alternative of replacing the items with a donation to the football department. not there this year 'strange'

Maybe they aren't doing it this year Mopsy because of the FTF?
Though you would think they could do the same as last year just chaging the wording from "Footy dept" to "FTF"
But agree it's a little strange
Especially if you look at it this way:
If 20k members decided to give up the voucher and or cap/scarf and the value is $15 ea then that $300k in one hit

Surely you arent suggesting each cap/scarf costs the club $15? Would be lucky to be over $5 each end cost.

Not suggesting that at all
But if you chose the Tigerland Store Vch over the cap or scarf they are saying it's for $15. So that's where I got that number from :thumbsup

Tigerland Store Voucher is a great option, encourages you to go spend up a little more and give to the club ;)

The figure must be only counting those who have manually renewed over the net. Don't we have a number of members on a rollover plan so they are automatically counted towards 2012? That's how other clubs' tallies jump to 10k+ as soon as they release their membership campaigns.

Yeah but the first payment doesn't come out until the end of this month, so maybe they aren't counting those until after the first payment
-
That is correct. Once the first payment comes out of our bank for rolling tiger memberships next month, then those members will be deducted from the tally.

Which means your $300k figure is an irrelevant factor as it's largely imaginary money assuming every member would instead buy a cap or scarf for $15, which aint happening.

Sorry you've confused me with your comment about members buying "cap or scarf for $15"... I am not sure what you mean? And yes some days it doesn't take much to confuse me ;D
Are you talking about the members cap & scarf? Because no one has to buy those
The options this year are you can take a members cap or scarf or a $15 Store voucher.
Last year they had the same options as this year but with the added option of donating the value back to the footy dept.
We don't know what that value per member was last year. So all I was suggesting as a starting point you could use the value of the store vch to do a round calculation based on 20k members (less than 1/2 of our total members) deciding to "donate" rather than taking the cap, scarf or Vch
Alternatively if you want to say the caps or scarfs cost the club $5 each then you could apply the same theory 20k members give up $5 ea = $100k
Whatever the value it just seems strange they've taken that option away for the 2012 m'ship campaign when they are trying to raise $$$ for the FTF

Whatever the value it just seems strange they've taken that option away for the 2012 m'ship campaign when they are trying to raise $$$ for the FTF
And that is my point. $300k appears a lot, when in all reasoning the final costs would probably be "only" under $100k.
If you dont want a scarf or cap you simply dont redeem your voucher. But in the end with the ordering they need to order merch well before the member tally really gets going so even if there is the option to send your money to the football department instead, in the end they still have to order a large amount in anticipation so if they spend the money on purchasing but then no one wants them there has really been no money gained for the football department as the mass purchase has already been made.
Does that even make sense? It does in my head but not sure it's translating. :rollin

We will get 50 if we can win a few of the 5 first games. The draw doesn't help us, we would have got over 50 last year if we had a decent draw first up and a few wins to start with.
I think we will get the 50k in 2012.

It will pick up. I bet there are a lot of people like me for instance who don't give a stuff about renewing until the new year. I didn't renew until the end of February this year actually. Though I won't wait that long this time as I'm going to get a 3gamer for a mate for his birthday at the end of January, and I'm going to shove one down the throat of my Blues loving missus until she's pooping yellow and black. ....a membership that is.

Do you think it has to do with the way the campaign was launched?? I think it took just a little too long, on the back of winning the last 3 of 4 games :lol and picking up maric and morris. These were positives and could have been used while still fresh in ppl minds.
Also I still havnt got the hard copy of roar power mag and renewal- Im aware of campaign becuase of internet but it would be fair to say not everyone uses the net.

Its ridiculous bc i believe our membership revenue is higher than the hawks even though we only had 40k official members last season compared to their 55k or whatever it was. It may look like nit picking but sponsors take into consideration very seriously the number of members they can reach - 55k membership base sounds a lot better than 40k. We need to do something about eliminating this non ticketed membership, ive said it for yrs its costing us $$ in the overall scheme of things

Where are the numbers? Do we honestly bring in more from our memberships as opposed to Hawthorn?

flying we are already at halfway
Unfortunately every year the AFL calculates our membership tally differently to how we do it. So we safely deduct about 5000 from the total and that will be the official AFL number.
Its ridiculous bc i believe our membership revenue is higher than the hawks even though we only had 40k official members last season compared to their 55k or whatever it was.

Yes, our membership revenue was higher than hawthorns.. That's because the dawks memberships are ridiculously under priced..
-
LOL so they take away non match day memberships but they count 3 game and pet memberships. Har har har
The AFL don't count pet memberships in the total neither does the RFC
I believe the 3 game membership is counted as it gives you access (entry) into games
What the AFL doens't count is things like non match day junior memberships - eg "Cotchy's Cubs"

I don't care what the AFL number is. IMHO the Club's number is the one that counts because the Club recognises all of its members in its number.
It doesn't matter what the category a member is a member .. end of story in my book

Honestly thought the Bummers would of had more than that. Wet Toast memberships look like they're slowing down too. Pretty stoked we've crossed the half way mark of 2011's tally. I'll renew mine sometime early in the new year after I find out how interested the missus is in going and if the old man wants to get reserved or not.

I received a text from the club yesterday at 6:30pm saying:
"James, your 2012 RFC membership pack has been lodged with Australia Post and will arrive before Christmas." :rollin
The missus and a mate also received the same text and we all renewed at the same time.
-
Richmond and Veruca Salt pretty much the same distance as last year except they had a great start to the season and Andy D. gave us a crappy draw for the billionth time.
Let's hope we knock off a big team (lol big team compared to the might of the Tiger Army).
No more:
"we didn't come out to play tonight"

If we were to get average increases of 300 per day we should have 25.5k by Christmas.
The Saints bandwagon has fallen off. Someone on BF said they had 24k members by Christmas last year. That's a huge drop off if that is true.

A post from AstuteTiger on BF about access/non-access memberships and what the AFL counts as ticketed in their "official" figures.
"I posted during the year so ill reiterate for the tigers non ticketed/access, we had over 7,000 but they were "Baby Tiger & Tiger Cubs Club", real people but under 6 yrs old memberships and U6's get in for free anyway....to have it included in the ticketed figures we needed to pay $7 a barcode most clubs hawks, pies etc do this we didnt to save 50K, ive had lengthy discussions with our membership dept on this subject and also spoken to the AFL that if someone joining up is a "human being" they should b included "barcode or not" cause U6's get in for free anyway...I also stated as an example to further highlight my point that if both Collingwood and Richmond have 7,000 U6 kids members but collingwood pay the $7 for the barcode to appear on the membership card and richmomd dont its grossly unfair that our figure isnt recognized as match-day when in reality the person joining is a real person and has entry for free anyway as being U6....the AFL membership operator agreed with my sentiments and said they would look into this anomaly further which im sure they have by now....
On a side note to kriso182; Our Tiger Insider changed in 2011 to include access 3 games
Changes for 2012: For those who have been wondering about the different methods of counting memberships- the AFL have made some changes to how they are reported. Access and non-access membership numbers will now be rolled up into one consolidated membership which means that the number we report will be identical to the number that the AFL report."

Apparently the company that was hired to make sure all membership purchased prior to December 1st were delivered by mail before Christmas didn't keep up their side of the agreement as promised. So it's not really the fault of the RFC membership dept. I'm guessing the Club will find some other mailing firm next year so this doesn't happen again.

Richmond is targeting 50,000 members in 2012 (it fell just short of that figure in 2011), and has gone with 'Roar Pride, Roar Passion, Roar Power' as its slogan. The positive vibe around the club has already translated into a good couple of months for the membership department, with almost 29,000 fans signing up so far.

Yep. On the membership form it was under the 'Reward and Recognition' section with the option to tick one of three boxes - cap, scarf or voucher.

Better ring the club.
My friend who got their membership stuff (even though it contained Bronze stuff, when they are Y&B) got the voucher for the scarf. They had the same problem last year where the mailhouse forgot to put the vouchers in the packs :wallywink
If you want the cap or scarf you'll get a voucher for that and can then pick them up from games until June I think the voucher said
I haven't got anything yet with the new logo on it so hopefully either the cap or scarf have the new logo on it.
Yes the do - the scarf voucher had a picture of what it looks like - new Tiger logo and what I thought was a pretty average looking scarf ;D

Any picture of what the cap looks like - probs crap but like a look

I seriously couldn't care what comes in the Adult membership pack as long as it has my membership card in it. I want the club to survive, hence the reason I am a member.
I do however care what comes in the Cotchy's Cubs membership packs for my nephews, and I'm not dissapointed this year. Good backpack.
-
Got my pack last week.
I went for the cap as I collect them. I have every cap since 2004 and wear one whilst saving the rest. I'll just pop into the club one day after work when I get back and pick u my 2012 cap.
I got my daughter upgraded to the toddler membership. She got a soft footy, towel, clapper and face paint. She got Jack on her card I got Cotch.

Yeah well that still doesn't explain why people still haven't got their "packs"
Because if they were all lodged with Aust Post on the same day they all should be delivered within a reasonable time frame not in some cases a fortnight later
And yes still nothing at our house - not good enough RFC...and the excuses don't cut it either >:( because I note that there never appears to be any "delays" with them taking their money every month (managed that before the 31st Dec)
Will be calling them tomorrow
-
Mine hasn't arrived either and yet the other family members has -all renewed on the same day!
WP, on my behalf when complaining to the club can you let them know if they are serious about making it up to us then they need to play finals....... No Excuses!!!! :police: :cheers

The person at the RFC reception desk has something to look forward to today on their first day back :outtahere ;D.
Well I can't complain as I haven't renewed my membership yet lol. I hoping to get down to Punt Rd as early as tomorrow.

I can't buy that excuse from RFCO that "all packs were lodged with Aust Post on the same day". Some got theirs before Christmas, some (incl 3 of my 8 ) in the week after, and some (incl the other 5 of mine) haven't arrived yet. And to add weight to my argument, 1 of my 3 already delivered was to Darwin which has a longer delivery time than all other Aust capital cities. It defies belief that so many packs would have been misplaced or waylaid if they were all lodged on the same day.

mate, you cant organise the President to be attending the Annual General meeting, bit much to ask that you can organise the mail out of memberships. ::) ( I got mine 2 days before xmas-thank you, pity the other supporters )
and we dare not mention the ''fiasco"' of the opening of the social club with no TV.s, foxtel at the start of last year. considering most homes in Melb have foxtel, ohhh,, all too hard.
-
I can't buy that excuse from RFCO that "all packs were lodged with Aust Post on the same day".
Fair enough, but it's the truth.
Clubs use a "mailhouse" for this sort of stuff
These mailhouses then "lodge" the stuff with Australia Post. Lodging with Aust Post means it is at an Aust Post distribution centre waiting to be mailed, doesn't mean it has been mailed. It means that the stuff sits around until Aust Post get around to moving it
As the mailhouses get cheaper postage rates for bulk postage, it is not Aust Posts priority to move these bulk deliveries, cheaper rates means they don't have too.
No a doubt in my mind that's what happened here with the membership packs.
The Club can point the finger of blame at whoever they want but at the end of the day the Club made a promise to its members and have failed to deliver (no pun intended) on that guarantee. They hired the mailhouse who clearsly haven't delivered on their side of the deal with the RFC.
Sorry but IMHO the Club has to take the heat for this .....
-
I can understand the frustration of those that didn't receive theirs before Christmas, but if the club has passed the memberships to the 'mailhouse' for distribution on the date required to have them received by us before Christmas, then I don't believe it is an error they should be copping it for.
I understand they made the promise, but I also believe they did everything they possibly could to ensure the promise was upheld. There is nothing to say they went through a cheap 'mailhouse' either, this could be the eff up of some Aus Post employee who is using the box full of our memberships as a box to sit on as they work :rollin
RFC will cop it, but I don't think this is a stuff up of the clubs, and I believe the club should seek compensation from the said 'mailhouse' for breaking its guarantee.
And WTF does Foxtel and TV's at the Social Club have to do with Memberships? At least now the club can afford such things, not too long ago Jack you would have been up on the roof with a coat hanger trying to get the reception right on the Grundig down below.

Rather than the cut off for memberships to be delivered before Christmas be end of November, why can't the club cut off pre Christmas memberships by mid November? Gives an extra two weeks to get them delivered.

As long as the memberships arrive before Round 1, who cares :thumbsup

Yeah that's fine for adults but what about kids? Kids get a kick out of receiving this sort of stuff and to have it promised that delivery will happen before Xmas and then not have it happen is disappointing

Fine in theory but still no guarantee that delivery will happen before Xmas.

Come on Bill lifes full of broken promises, false dawns and just flat out lies. Its all part of making us stronger people.. Xmas is over rated and just a commercial advertising campaign to pump money into the flagging economy. Tell the kids to be thankful for what they did get and just accept that well poo Happens.

I can't buy that excuse from RFCO that "all packs were lodged with Aust Post on the same day".
Fair enough, but it's the truth.
Clubs use a "mailhouse" for this sort of stuff
These mailhouses then "lodge" the stuff with Australia Post. Lodging with Aust Post means it is at an Aust Post distribution centre waiting to be mailed, doesn't mean it has been mailed. It means that the stuff sits around until Aust Post get around to moving it
As the mailhouses get cheaper postage rates for bulk postage, it is not Aust Posts priority to move these bulk deliveries, cheaper rates means they don't have too.
No a doubt in my mind that's what happened here with the membership packs.
The Club can point the finger of blame at whoever they want but at the end of the day the Club made a promise to its members and have failed to deliver (no pun intended) on that guarantee. They hired the mailhouse who clearsly haven't delivered on their side of the deal with the RFC.
Sorry but IMHO the Club has to take the heat for this .....
A question Billy.
If you had some important documents that needed to be sent to a client within a certain time frame and you lodged them with Ast. Post or a courier with a lead time that you would reasonably expect for them to be delivered on time, and they were not, would you carry the heat for that.

Yep Al I would (have had it happened).
Can I add that these days if I get something important or mailed then I follow up to make sure the intended receivers have actually got it for the very scenario you've highlighted
I post a letter via registered mail or even using Express post then I am paying extra for a guaranteed service, so yes I would expect them to deliver things on time. If they didn't then I'd be going off at them.
So would i expect to carry the heat from clients? Damn right I would and I'd also being doing everything in my power to rectify things ASAP :thumbsup
-
I must admit that i view things that once you pass something on to another organisation to do what they specialise in, then the buck passes onto them otherwise you might as well be doing the job yourself.
At least you are consistent in your view on this Billy, even when the roles are reversed :thumbsup.
Agree with the part about doing everything you can to rectify things, but sometimes too late is too late and it simply cant be undone.

I understand your thinking al, but it's just not the way I do things.
I've always believed that my responsibility to any project finishes once my client/customer has all the stuff they need/require from me
I've never been able to take the approach of once it's out of my sight or left my office it's not my problem anymore.
As I said just the way I am ;D

Do you think your client/customer has the right to abuse you WP when you go to the lengths you do to deliver things to them by a certain time and it doesn't happen?
Who is to say that the RFC isn't tearing the mailhouse a new one right now?

The RFC haven't really said anything other than excuses to be honest. An apology for the screw up would be a nice start, rather than buck passing and saying it's a problem at the mailhouse. I come back to who hired them? Lets be honest this isn't the first time this has happened ....
Whether a customer has the right to abuse is not the issue; personally I don't condone people abusing for the sake of it but at the same time people have a right to be disappointed and to say they are not happy and are disappointed (granted they don't need to be abusive.
I've certainly copped abuse form clients when I've promised things and haven't delivered on time. Don't like it but it is the nature of the beast and you wear it, they pay for a service they should be allowed to give you a whack ;D

I understand that, and have been on the receiving end of plenty of sprays when it has had nothing to do with me directly.
I agree the RFC should come out with a statement and apology to those members promised before Christmas that did not receive it. It's a shame, for mine though at least they are trying to get things into gear. Had it not been for the mailhouse stuffing up things would be rainbows and butterflies.
I'd like to know if the mailhouse chosen was a 'cheap' option, because if thats the case then they knew the risks and went with it, they should cop the whack on the chin. If it was a credible mailhouse that has been used by many top organisations well . . . :rollin
Maybe next year they can learn from this and make all the childrens memberships a priority for Christmas. Personally, I don't mind when I receive my pack, as long as it's before round 1.
-
An apology to those whom didnt recieve their packs in time is the bare minimum the club should do.
What sort of reaction have those who rang up to complain got?
-
I wouldn't ring up and the whole deal isn't really about the
Membership(s) not turning up when 'promised'
It is about though the club moving forward and getting
everything as much as possible right, if it is not right then
take the steps to ensure it is rectified.
Own up and apologize if it involves the members 'remembering'
there is no club without them and we move along.
Finger pointing has got this club nowhere in 30+ years
and now it has to stop.
-
PS: apologies abt the formatting, getting used to phone
;D

Totally agree JVT. As I've stated before, I couldn't give a stuff when mine arrives, as long as it's before the first game but when the club makes a marketing push for early sign-ups by promising pre-Christmas delivery and then don't deliver on that commitment then it makes it just that bit harder to market for the same membership the following year. Not saying it would stop someone from joining but when the club is pushing for quick early numbers (for a number of valid reasons) then it definitely would impact that exercise. An apology would go some way to rectifying that and preventing a less favourable outcome at this time next year.

renewed mine today didnt want to leave it too late and miss out on a seat at Pattersons ( its happened before , thanks Ben Cousins loving eagles pricks )
plus the usual player sponsorship which has nearly doubled in price since i started 4 years ago !!!
lets hope thats enough coin for the club from me this year

What sort of reaction have those who rang up to complain got?
They are very apologetic (extremely apologetic actually) but continue to blame the mailhouse & Aust Post ;D.
I did point out that that's part of my issue.
We have the Club blaming the Mailhouse, the Mailhouse blaming Aust Post, Aust Post most probably throwing up their collective hands and saying "we are delivering as per the contract with the mailhouse". Someone needs to take responsibility for this mess rather than just going around in circles pointing fingers.
Was told to wait and see if everything shows up by today if not I have to ring then next Monday or Tuesday and we will move onto plan "B" ;D
BTW I didn't abuse just complained and renewed the "peanuts" in QLD for season 2012. So even when I complain they still get money out of me

Amazing. The Pies have 50,000 members already and it's January!

Because they have to join early to get a reserved seat or a grand final seat.
-
The Dawks numbers constantly amaze.
I would have thought our number a touch disappointing at this stage.
-
Not really when you think of all the bandwagon jumpers through the 80s & 90s.
The benefit of having the best zone recruiting areas, along with Carlton and never having to rotate it to the other teams.
-
IIRC Hawthorn's memberships are cheaper than other clubs as they play fewer home games in Melbourne with 4 home games down in Tassie. They should have less reserve seat revenue too. Interesting to see despite the raw tallies whether we generate more in membership revenue than they do.
The club that I think is a upcoming concern for the AFL in the next few years is St Kilda. Multiple finals since 2004 and 3 Grand Final appearances in there as well and they are down in the bottom 5 even currently below North as the lowest Victorian club. It won't surprise me if they take over selling interstate games from us once we start winning and playing finals ourselves.

I'm presuming our gaming revenue will fall this year thanks to the loss of the Royal Oak :-\.
Hawthorn list their revenues in two columns - 'consolidated' and 'the club'. Of the $10m in consolidated revenue from gaming, bar and bistro income, $4.45m is listed as 'the club' revenue.

Cause, a mass walkrunout of the staff and it took a couple of days coaxing, to get them to return, after a wild Tiger decided to grace them with his presence.
Normal service will be returned shortly.

Indian Rupee is under pressure so purchasing power is down. We need the Rupee to increase in value and the indians will get back to work :lol

They're a bit like wogs, but with brains :thumbsup

I went down to Punt Rd today and renewed my membership. For those wondering what this year's members' cap looks like here's a pic of it:

Gotta say it doesn't too bad at all, plan and simple I like it
And BTW spoke to the club today to activate "plan b" re my missing membership packs. They are going to be re-issued and we will hopefully have them in the next couple of weeks. If not we move onto "plan c" ;D

IIRC Hawthorn's memberships are cheaper than other clubs as they play fewer home games in Melbourne with 4 home games down in Tassie. They should have less reserve seat revenue too. Interesting to see despite the raw tallies whether we generate more in membership revenue than they do.
The club that I think is a upcoming concern for the AFL in the next few years is St Kilda. Multiple finals since 2004 and 3 Grand Final appearances in there as well and they are down in the bottom 5 even currently below North as the lowest Victorian club. It won't surprise me if they take over selling interstate games from us once we start winning and playing finals ourselves.
pretty sure somebody posted a link not too long ago and we brought in more membership revenue than the dawks last season.
Is there any link to Richmond's?
Here's Hawthorn's:
2011 Membership - 56,643 (including 8,500 Tassie members).
Total Revenue: $49,151,009
AFL distribution and prize money 7,682,004
Membership income 7,895,676
Match day income 3,809,441
Marketing income 14,576,422
Merchandise income 3,065,244
Gaming, bar and bistro income 10,057,704
Accommodation income 741,654
Donations and special fundraising 669,558
Rental income - invest. property 374,623
Other income 278,683
http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/Portals/0/hawks_docs/2011_Annual_Report.pdf
I couldn't find such a breakdown of Richmond's revenue in the concise finanical report.
2011 Membership - 47,707
Total Revenue: $34,303,202
Football 11,992,714
Sponsorship/marketing 17,252,886
Gaming and social 3,410,144
Interest received 149,956
JDF 597,502
Punt Rd redevelop. grant 900,000
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/portals/0/richmond_docs/2011financials.pdf
There a fair bit of difference there
I'm presuming our gaming revenue will fall this year thanks to the loss of the Royal Oak :-\.
Hawthorn list their revenues in two columns - 'consolidated' and 'the club'. Of the $10m in consolidated revenue from gaming, bar and bistro income, $4.45m is listed as 'the club' revenue.
Counter to the loss of the Royal Oak, i'm sure the club will more than compensate with the Social Club revenue.

When can we expect to see our packs??
Pulled up behind a car sporting a "western front, bulldogs 2012" bumper sticker
Even the rabble clubs have working mailhouses :lol lol
-

If it's the same mailing house then next Christmas ;D.
When I renewed on Tuesday I forgot to ask when the packs would arrive. I'm guessing 3 weeks or so after renewing based on last year. I was able to take a members cap home with me this time around so all I'm waiting for is the new card, lanyard, stickers and the social club keyring.

If you received the now imfamous TXT beofre Xmas saying you'd get your pack by Xmas I suggest you ring the club and they will organise for your membership to be re-issued
I did that last week and they reckon the replacement should be out in a few weeks. Very non-committal about the timing and after the pre-Xmas fiasco who can blame them ;D

You are indeed incorrect:
1) I am a financial member of the club and have been for years
2) I am a financial contributor to the fighting fund
3) I have made financial contributions to the JDF over the years

Your more than welcome to check any of that out with the RFC, people know my name so it wouldnt be hard to find.

4) I buy a substantial amount of merchandise year in year out from the club.

I dont care what other people contribute and I dont care what you gave. You made the statement that I was a non financial contributor - I answered your question. I also dont care what others give, people give what they can, for some thats just a donation, for others its a membership, for others again its a membership, maybe some contributions to various programs and for others its coteries and sponsorships. For me they all contributors- they give what they can, and to be honest its no ones right to make others supposedly feel bad about how much or how little they give. Looking back at my own 2011 season contribution, I reckon covering the whole lot I handed over approx $500. Thats what I could afford and thats what I gave.
-
I'm not sure why you asked about my contribution then?
Anyways, I just reckon if you think bagging the club is your new mandate then surely you'd be open to getting bagged yourself ;D

FTR, my membership still hasn't arrived although my 3 family members has :laugh: - renewed on the same day.
I will ring them today and my experience is they always are good to deal with directly, just a bit unreliable with the mail house.
It's no big drama because the season starts in over 2 months.

One of them is mine. It should pick up again now that everyone is back from holidays.
-
It will pick up dramatically once the season draws near. The initial ones would of been the real die hards, and the recent ones probably just people "getting it done." Then there are people like me who couldn't give a stuff as long as they do it before the season starts ;D
I'm getting mine paid for this year as a birthday present in a couple weeks. I kind of feel dirty for not giving my own money, so I'll probably just put what I was going to pay myself on my membership this year into the FTF instead :thumbsup

Thats what I thought mt, of course sales do slow down during this period but we seemed to grind to an absolute halt, whereas the blues, bombers and cats seemed to sign up a lot more during the same period

Yep and fair enough too considering the club administration and the players et al have taken the best part of 30 years off. It'll be good when they decide to front up and give the supporters something to be proud of. There should be ZERO holidays at Punt Road :laugh: :cheers

Carlton have outstripped us by 3000+ memberships in the past month
A large cause is probably the differences between clubs in when and how they run their membership campaigns, including how they deal with 'roll over' memberships. For example, we might have included our Committed Tiger renewals much earlier than Carlton did their equivalent. What will be a much better indicator is how the figures go from here on.

Not sure about that smokey, I've noticed a trend that carries right through preseason, last year we were consistently 4-5k ahead of the blues and finished roughly that ahead of them and the number we finished behind the hawks and bombers is what we were consistently behind them all preseason. There is no doubt that this year we have dropped off the past month copared to other well supported sides Cats, Blues, Bombers

Carlton have outstripped us by 3000+ memberships in the past month

Fair enough TM, be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Agree 100% but the club hasnt helped itself on a number of issues and afew people seem to have decided to not part with their cash this season.

I reckon they will outsell us this year and so they should, they've been up there for 3 seasons now.

>600 in 2 days. Keep that up until R1 and we will be in the vicinity of 44k by the time we start. Given the normal increase approaching the season then I would think we are on track to break 50k.

I reckon they could be the next Richmond in terms of having long stints mid-table, with the odd season thrown the bottom. Have a list which will see them finish around about 8th, but they are years off being top 4, and with other teams who have more comprehensivly rebuilt, plenty will go past them. :yep

My membership package arrived today in the post so I've only had to wait 3 weeks since I re-joined up. All ready now for round 1 :thumbsup.
So do people think we'll get 50k? I have my doubts.
We always have a rush before round 1 so there's still plenty to supporters to re-sign. This time last year (31/01/2011) we had 28,082 signed up so we are currently 2000 ahead. If that holds as it has over the past month or two since 2012 memberships were released then we should reach 50k.

Membership target on track
richmondfc.com.au 3:44 PM Tue 31 Jan, 2012
Richmond has reached the 30,000 member mark on its way to a target of 50,000 in 2012.
The current tally is more than 2000 above the same time last year, and it’s the first time in the Club’s history the 30,000 figure has been reached before the end of January.
The Club has seen significant growth in reserved seats, Maurice Rioli Club and 3121 memberships......
AND
Only 40 spots remain in the 3121 membership category, so if you would like to hear more about this membership package, call Ash Aidone direct on 9426 4442.

Very positive news as that means a significant increase in membership revenue which is the main thing in terms of helping the Club boost resources all round.

The stragglers are still yet to sign on. I'm getting mine next week and I think my old man said he was going to get his at the NAB cup. I reckon a whole heap will jump on before round 1. Like WAT said, get a few good preseason wins in and we'll crack 50k this season easily.

Perhaps but there was a big rush before Xmas when the club contacted a lot of members to expedite their re-signing re reserved seating, 3121 etc. so could have inflated numbers to this point.
We'll see I guess.

Over the past week or two it seems we've been able to keep that 1500 or thereabouts break ahead of Carlton. With the Eagles and Crows limited by their grounds we have a good chance to jump over them by the July cut-off and finish top 4 in club memberships this year with 50k+ members. Not bad for a club that's been garbage for 30 years onfield and hasn't played finals in 11 years. Outside of the two new expansion clubs we really are the AFL's best option for significant growth and they know it too.

I'm disappointed with the figure at this stage should have been up around 35k by now. A bad NAB Cup and itll be much harder to get to 50k.

-
We havent done anything in 30 years, and we will get 50k this year. Out of Essendon, Carlton and Collingwood I reckon only Collingwood could achieve this.
Essendon and Carlton fans drop off almost straight away if they are down the bottom half.
When we play finals continuously we will over take both Essendon and Carlton.
Us and Collingwood are the two biggest clubs in the league.
We can still become bigger than the pies in the future. We just have to start winning. Weve been bigger before. The 80s, 90s and naughties killed us.
-
yep a generation lost, which corelates to the mass media explosion of the game.
The supporter base will be a bit like the list a year or 2 ago, with lots of vet's, no prime ages, and all the rest as reent draftees.
-
The last 10 years have killed us. After being right up with them,since 82 blues, bombers have streaked us in gf appearances. Even the hawks and cats have caught up.

Back today after being in Brisbane yesterday visiting the "peanuts"
9.00 am tomorrow morning will be signing up another Tiger Cub; my 2 month old "great" niece (god I feel old) is becoming a Tiger member.
Was going to wait 12 months but I found out some are trying to turn her into a "bumbling bomber" :gobdrop :gobdrop
Wont stand for that ;D

Football fans buying more club memberships despite new TV deal
by: Matt Windley
From: Herald Sun
February 06, 2012
FOOTBALL fans are buying club memberships in record numbers - even though they will be able to watch all nine games a week live at home for the first time .
The AFL last week ticked over 500,000 paid up club members for 2012.
It represents an increase of more than 8 per cent on 12 months ago (excluding new club Greater Western Sydney's figures).
Some clubs were concerned privately that the AFL's record $1.25 billion TV deal would hit memberships.
Essendon chief executive Ian Robson said clubs were not necessarily out of the woods yet, but he was pleased the Bombers were up 1500 members on this time last year.
"There were some initial fears expressed as to how it could all be absorbed and we're still probably not through the complete phase of that because the heavy selling of the Fox subscription will probably go to another level," Robson said.
"The counterbalance of that is that all clubs have become so much better at positioning their membership as not just a transactional relationship, but really as being the icing on the cake of a deep-rooted relationship that you have with your club that in many instances goes back generations."
Foxtel would not reveal subscription numbers because of "commercial sensitivities".
But the pay TV network's director of sport and Olympics, Peter Campbell, said he was pleased football club memberships had gone from strength-to-strength, despite the announcement his network would carry every game except the Grand Final live.
"We've done a bucketload of research and ... the correlation, if you are a Foxtel subscriber and a club member you go to more games of footy than you do if you're just a club member," Campbell said.
"So from our perspective, if you're a club member, it's great because you really are engaged with your footy team.
"We want people to be engaged because then it's more likely they are going to become a Foxtel subscriber. It's not substitutable from our perspective."
Melbourne Football Club chief executive Cameron Schwab agreed.
"Promotion of the game is such a big event all the time that, in fact, the broadcasters, everyone, want to broadcast a match that has got a lot of interest in it," Schwab said.
"So they promote the game, which gets more people interested in footy and they're then more likely to buy membership tickets and attend games.
"It's a very circular promotional vehicle by having the games live."
North Melbourne chief Eugene Arocca said the AFL had assured clubs that live football would not have an impact on membership.
"In fact, they have budgeted to have increased membership over the next five years of something like 30-40 per cent," Arocca said.
"So contrary to the urban legend, membership is still the best way of supporting your club and that probably overrides the whole television issue.
"And, secondly, it's good value for money.
"It's still probably the biggest financial element to any club's revenue - bigger than sponsorship at most clubs.
"It secures a football club's future."

AFL supporters buying memberships despite thinner wallets
by: Matt Windley
From: Herald Sun
February 06, 2012
STOCK markets have crashed, banks have been bailed out, the euro and the American dollar have weakened and jobs are being cut left, right and centre.
And football clubs, likewise, are not immune to financial pressures.
Since 2008, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs have issued a call to arms in order to reduce - and ideally eliminate - debt and the need to make crippling interest payments to banks.
Essendon, too, has gone to its supporters to help fund the development of a state-of-the-art training facility at Tullamarine.
And yet despite the financial pressures many Australians are feeling at home in tough economic times, members of these clubs have responded in an overwhelmingly positive fashion.
Melbourne has eliminated its $4 million debt, Richmond has wiped half of its $6 million deficit, and the Bulldogs nearly a quarter of theirs ($5 million).
Essendon and North Melbourne have also raised significant funds - $500,000 and $400,000 respectively - in a short period.
But Kangaroos chief executive Eugene Arocca is not surprised.
"One thing that I've become aware of in relation to football is that it seems to be bulletproof to economic circumstances," Arocca said.
"In fact football itself, AFL/VFL, seems to thrive at times when there was adversity or when the economic conditions weren't ideal.
"You look at the 1920s and 1930s, during the Depression years ... in the case of the football you had the VFL entrenching itself as a major competition in Victoria.
"So I'm of a view that in tough economic times football has always been and will always be a fantastic outlet where you grab your family, wander down to the oval and enjoy the game.
"We had to put a few things in order before we embarked upon this campaign. I know other clubs have done theirs at different times, so we had to read the mood of our members.
"Yes, there was an element of 'this is a tough economic year', but so was 2009 and 2010 wasn't much easier. So from our point of view, the supporters and members just seem to defy all the other trends when it comes to putting money behind your club even when times are tough or looming tough in the near future.
"We backed our members and they've responded."
Richmond chief Brendon Gale said clubs had to be "very careful with the message you put out" when going cap in hand to members.
"We acknowledged that there are some that find their circumstances very challenging and we said at the time 'the most important thing you can do to support our football club is to renew or buy a membership'. And that's terrific," Gale said.
"But we also said: 'If you've taken care of all the necessary expenses of running a house and raising a family and you want to support your club to go the extra step then we'd love to receive your support'. So that's what it's about."
Gale said: "All things considered, it's going pretty well", a fact, he said, is "pleasantly surprising".
"We certainly don't take it for granted, that's for sure," he said.
"Football clubs mean so much to people. And if they really believe in the direction the club's going, history shows they'll support it. We're certainly encouraged with the response we've had so far."
Essendon chief Ian Robson said no matter the donation size, the support of any fan willing to help their club in a time of need is heart warming.
"It's the first time really that I can research that the footy club ... has gone to the members in the way that we have," Robson said.
"For us it's slightly different because it's such a quantum leap in terms of the capacity of our facilities. (The fundraiser) is very targeted at helping us achieve this outcome in a manner that would, in an ideal world, position the club as having secured, built and delivered this facility to the football department debt-free.
"We've been really delighted at the response from the Essendon family."

I think it's lack of Belief that will stop us getting over and beyond 55 or 60k this year. There's only a certain core which will go to the footy to watch us through thick and thin.

Although we are 5000 members behind Essendon at this stage, there's a possibility we could still end up in front of them by the July cut-off if the below change of policy at Essendon impacts on limiting their final membership tally.
EFC have made the call this year to abandon general admission memberships. ie this year every Essendon member must have a reserved seat. The thread on the EFC board is littered with discontent from 2011 Bronze level members who are being forced to buy a season reserved seat. It is a huge rider to impose on its members. These people who were members without a seat just want to be members but still sit in a general area on level 3 at the Dome with their friends and family and make choices from week to week - like the MCG clubs do. Now all members must have a reserved seat membership which means which is having a significant impact on the Bronze level membership. The club says their research indicates members are sick of queuing and late entry to get into the Dome and that this policy eliminates this problem. My concern is that this is forcing thousands of 2011 members to abandon membership in 2012. The EFC thread indicates there is an undercurrent of discontent amongst the supporter base who are already far from happy playing games at the Dome.

you have to wonder about the thought process.
Eliminate the problem of members having to queue up at docklands by ensuring that a lot of these people will still have to queue up, only they wont be members.
way to go maaaaaate
-
Slowly heading toward Manchester United style, virtual lockout of supporters.
Get entrenched now before demand exceeds supply.
It may push people to the likes of North Melb, just so that you can watch the club you support play.
Corporates will eventually squeeze the supporters out..........

Yeah. Imagine having 50,000 by the opening bounce of the Carlton game. Sales would go beserk if we won that game too
-
After last night's positive display we should get a membership boost next week. 50k should be very acheivable now.
-

Yep. A good effort in the next 2 games should gaurantee us 50,000 by about Round 1. Family day and the Community camp will give us a good boost too. Still another 40 days to go. If we can average 300 per day plus another 4,000 from family/community efforts then we are set. A win against Carlton and sales will go beserk 8)
-
We have only had one win in the pre season cup since 2004 so that will definentely boost numbers. Playing well in our next two NAB matches: Freo in Perth and Geelong at the Tin Shed will help that along.
Each of our first 5 matches however should be treated as GF's and early wins will ensure we won't just get to 50K but exceed it easily.

They play the system well, that's all. They have a huge amount of 3 game memberships and other low earning options which, while they still count as a 'membership', they don't draw in anywhere near the same finances we do from our memberships. Smoke and mirrors.... :shh

They play the system well, that's all. They have a huge amount of 3 game memberships and other low earning options which, while they still count as a 'membership', they don't draw in anywhere near the same finances we do from our memberships. Smoke and mirrors.... :shh
Very true Stripes, but i'll bet they find it a hell of a lot easier to sell their brand to potential sponsors when dangling a 55k membership carrot.
-
Maybe so but at the end of 2004 they were no different than us. Bottom two overrated poor list and requiring a full rebuild.
They planned their list more thoughtfully than us and are reaping the rewards now in terms of on field success sponsorship dollars and the Waverley Park deal.
If we happen to be successful on field at the same time as them or at a time when they are an on field basket case then they will envy the support we have on our books in the stands and in the corporate world.
Hawthorn have found a loophole in the system where their Tasmanian deal allows the draw to offer them a Tassie game against a lower drawing Vic Club(s) like Nought and interste minnows and power clubs ie W Coast where it really is a true away game for the Eagles b/c of the travel and the infrequency they play at York Park as opposed to going to Etihad or the G and hence a continual opportunity to gain maximum premiership points from their Tassie venture.
Furthermore 5 game Tassie memberships to AFL starved Tasmanians is a wonderful ploy to get them on board also.
A break up in relations or non renewal of a contract in Tassie will ensure Hawthorn lose at least 10K memberships.
This is what weak sides do off field to change the public perception and make them seem like strong sides and hope the on field success carries on to maintain this perceived success.
Hawthorn have always been a small club and have this perceived big club status merely b/c their success in the 80's and 90's have translated to some support from those kids who supported them in this golden era, as opposed to Nought who in the 90's had Carey and co and has not translated to anything for that charcterless footy club.
Hawthorn home of the souless.
Nought home of the characterless.

You speak with good insight Tucker, they were an absolute nothing club with zero historical success and support when I was a kid. I still don't subscribe to the theory that they have a large supporter base, just that they sell their memberships very very well.

You are both spot on. I went to a presentation by the Hawks in the mid 90s where they had studied the model of the Green Bay Packers to try an adapt that model for themselves.
They are just a very well run, professional club.

No they're not.
They have won more premierships and won a flag just 4 years ago ffs.
We are doing pretty bloody good with 30 years of no success and if we had the success ONFIELD of the Hawks,then we 'd have way more members than they have.
I think our membership department should be congratulated.
Like that we are going to India and trying different things.
All we need is onfield success.
P.S. I reckon if Richmond didn't have a cult hero like Richo for kids to look up too,then the club would be in a worse position regarding memberships.
Richo has had more influence on Richmond than he knows.

27 days till our round 1 clash with the Filth.
18 work days. Lets say conservatively an average of 250 per work day = 4500
Family day lets say another 1000 to 1500.
Total 6000.
We could be around 43-44 K by the time the season starts.
50 K is looking good. A positive start results wise and something within the vicinity of 53 is not beyond us. :thumbsup

29/03/2011 (same date as R1 this year): 42,117
We're currently about 2000 ahead of this time last year which means we are still on track to reach the target of 50k.
If we go at the same rate as last year for March from here on, we will have around 44k members going into round 1.

If we get a couple of wins under our belt early on we could realistically look at getting at least 45,000 members this season. However, I have to agree with rogerd3, 50,000 might be a bit of a stretch. Hope I'm wrong.

We will get 50,000 for sure. 2,000 ahead of last year but after family day it'll be more like 4,000 ahead of last year. We finished with 48,000 last year. We're on target for 52,000. If we beat Carlton or Collingwood we'll probably get 55,000 because of the hype.

Agree tigs2011
Who gives a toss what nummber the AFL comes up with, they flip flop on how they count members ever season
What's important IMV at least is that the RFC with their number is recognising ALL its members as being just that MEMBERS

Haven't heard any initiatives on the FTF for a while, hope there is something in the pipes.

Can I ask?? When is membership drive day?
Not family day, but the above mentioned.
Eg: nort had theirs last week, they had their coach, ceo, swallow and petrie on SEN throughout the day to promote.
The bombers had the same a week before, so when will our club take advantage of such a good media tool??
Both were weekdays
So far the club has done an outstanding job in marketing. Jump on board :thumbsup

I fairly certain that all memberships are counted this year by the AFL. The reason why it is important is public perception. People believe Hawthorn to be a massive club due to their membership numbers yet they struggle to pull the crowds we do. Perspective sponsors are also fooled by these elevated membership figures. If our figure make us appear to have less supporters then the perception is we have less supporters by the general ignorant football fan...
-
Going really well- How many do we usually turn over family day? Should be a few and then the season is 3 weeks away will be real close if we don't get there! I think we will :thumbsup
Start with a double against the tankers and skunks and we could push 60 :shh
-
Membership cut off is June 30
So we have plenty of time to get to 50k
Not only that I reckon there are a number of people that just wait until they actually go to the footy to buy their membership.

We're now gone past the Benny Cousins bandwagon inflated figure of 2009 for this time of the year.
We're also 2,500 ahead of this time last year so still well on our the way to reaching 50k.

Sold 2,500 this week. If we can do the same for the next 3 weeks and sell 3,000 on family day we'll be 50,000 by Round 1. Very possible considering we are probably 39,700 after today

We'll be 40,000 even before family day. Should sell at least 2,000 on Sunday. Might be on 45,000 in a weeks time. That'll give us another 2 weeks until Round 1 and a chance for 50,000 for the start of the season. We should aim for 55,000 this year now
-
Comparing the figures on the table for the Ben Cousins hype in 2009 and this year there is only a 600 membership differential.
Barring a massive fallout in the next two weeks of pre season and a horrendous start to the season of lets say 2009 proportions 50K is easily attainable and 53 should be the conservative mark we should be looking at.

All clubs could argue they are ahead of their officially published figure and pull a number out of the air. Better to stick to the official figure.
We're definitely catching up to the Bombers. About a month ago we were 7000 behind them and now it's down to 2000. Given the capacity restraints of Docklands and Footy Park hopefully we will pass both the Dons and Crows into 4th spot in the new few weeks. We have also widened the gap between us and Carlton out to 3000 :thumbsup.

bombers slowing down.. :thumbsup
what an amazing group of supporters we are
even a a club like Geebung after all thier success
dont even hold a candle to us....

From Sam Edmund @SammyHeraldSun twitter:
"Huge day at @Richmond_FC family day, held at Punt Rd for first time in 8 yrs. Monster turnout, 40,000 members now - they're getting excited."
:thumbsup

Yeah the queues at the membership tent were probably the smallest but still 6-8 deep
Amazing what a praccy match win against a "bogey" team will do ;D

i wonder how many memberships will be cut up/microwaved if we loose next week.

RFCO on twitter reckons we signed up around 800-1000 memberships yesterday at the Family Day.

Hopefully that's in addition to the 250ish we get per day via phone / internet signups!

No update on the number after the family day
Probably still tallying them up ;D

And closing in on the Dons :thumbsup. Only 1600 behind them now after trailing by about 7000 a month ago.
Given the capacity constraints of both Docklands and Footy Park, at the rate we are going we should be able to jump above both Essendon and Adelaide in the next couple of weeks.

Ive been a bit sick tonight and I was listening to SEN when one of the presenters said a hawthorn official was on some show and he was all bitter and twisted because hawthorn are not a big 4 club. Anyone see this. I think this is great. Hawthorn are pretenders from what I know full of low value memberships of little financial consequence.

Didn't see it but good to know ;D
Would be interesting to compare average home crowds (excluding sold interstate games) between the big 4 and the Hawks.

I would think SEN were talking about AFL 360 on Fox where they were talking to the president (not Kennett) & Hodge. The President was saying they see themselves as one of the "Big 4" even if the media doesn't. He based this on their crowds, membership numbers and balance sheet. Have to say he certainly didn't sound bitter & twisted was very balanced in how he presented his argument.. but the media are good at creating stories when there isn't one ;D

You have to remove the finals figures otherwise it's not apples for apples. And to be honest, it;s not really a good comparison anyway, when some teams play 'boutique' interstate games to small (but near capacity) crowds as part of the AFL bigger picture. Hawthorn play a number of games at Launceston and we played at Darwin and Cairns, while Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton between them played 1 game at Carrara (Collingwood).

We could be sitting at 44-45 by the time we play the Filth. :thumbsup

Essendon seem to have fallen into a heap. They were way out infront of us a while back and Tomorrow or Monday/Tuesday next week at the latest we will have clawed above them in membership numbers. As I said elsewhere The Tiger Army is on the march!

As of 15/03/2012

A big win on Saturday will help boost the numbers but the main game is still round 1 vs the Scum.
Win that and memberships will soar.

We'll probably sell another 5,000 before the Blues game. Should be around 47k including sales on that day and at the G before the match. Look out if we win 8)

Those GWS membership numbers are a worry....not that I could give a poot....
I guess they would be comparable to the league clubs membership numbers

Next is the Hawks. We'll catch them by 2k or more over the next 2 weeks. Win our first 2 games and we'll overtake them
-
I think an Essendon person from within that rabble of a club has posted that they have 42028 members today which puts us 317 members behind. Hopefully our club is counting todays membership applications as we speak and that we can be infront of that brothel of a club by late this afternoon. We had 41711 members early this morning.

Gary March said on MMM this morning that memberships were over 42,000. Whether he was rounding the 41.7k figure up or just guesstimating, I'm unsure.
-

probably because they have changed their membership to only having reserved seating at docklands. this restricts their membership numbers to the number of seats available at the dome

This is correct
And from what I've heard from callback radio in the last month or so they are plenty peeed and some have chosen not to renew at all.

Spot on Al.
No 3 game memberships at Bomberland as they wouldn't fit them into Etihad.
Should've stayed at the G Bombres
-
Who cares about the Bombers.
All I know we will be between 43-44 on March 29 when we play the Filth and we are on track to meet the target of 50K which was assigned by the club.
Anything beyond that and we have lifted the bar higher which for as a club over the last 30 years is impressive to say the least. :thumbsup

the clubs got the wagon trail all sorted.

42,261 early Monday morning count. They usually dont do an update later in the day but I reckon we'd be in front of Essendon now anyway.

Watch them crash back down...down

Bombres supporters are dead set bleeding that they have fallen behind us. We should update our numbers at about 4.00pm again today just to stick the Knife right into those bludgers.
-
Hope we sell between 300 and 500 per day for the next 10 days. We have to beat Carlton too. This will gaurantee 55,000 members this year. We could make it 60,000 by beating Collingwood the next week too :thumbsup

The Bombers would be 45-50 k if they didn't have that reserved seat poo.
-
yeah, i wouldnt get too excited about getting more members than someone who effectively has a cap on memberships.
considering their base membership is $638 ($1645 for a family) they will be rolling in the membership funds.

I just checked their membership prices. For a bombres membership including a reserve seat to all 11 home games the cost is $329. Our standard membership without a reserve seat is $185.00 when one of our supporters takes a reserve seat we not only match the bombers in terms of funds received but the amount we get is higher. This defence that some are putting up that Essendon memberships are completely different is a nonsense IMHO. We are infront of that brothel of an organisation and I urge our supporters to really stick the knife in by buying an RFC membership and make the Bomber supporters angrier than what they seem to be. The Tiger Army is on the march!

i was looking at the wrong page in terms of pricing. :P was looking at the premium packages)
they do only sell memberships with a reserved seat, so they are capped at the capacity of docklands.
getting excited over getting more members than a team that is capped is like getting excited over beating a one legged bloke in a foot race.
doesnt say much for those that cant beat the one legged bloke though.

Who told them to cap their memberships - NO ONE! Its their fault! No one forced Essendon to sign a long lease at Docklands. Its their problem. Our problem is finding enough carriages for the Tiger Bandwagon ;D
-
Don't think Essendons members are being limited by Etihad. Most of their home games at Etihad are against interstate teams. The big home games are at the G. If they buy a membership they can still go
-
Also means their members sign early so they don't lose the reserved seat, so the argument for can also be used against.
They appear popular due to massive numbers early but in essence the members don't have a choice if they want to keep their seats.
-
My understanding regarding the Bumblings is that they are not capping their numbers as such what they are doing is not selling memberships without reserved seats, that is you must purchase a reserved seat with a Bombers membership.
Lot of disgruntled members it would seem (quite rightly ;D)

That's is correct WP, and rightly so should the supporters be peeved with that.
I think the dons will still get a great total for this year, but you have to remember they were in the nab cup GF last year as well as their bandwagon for hird, bomber coaching panel.

Who are they Man Utd. I can understand to an extent at Etihad but the Bums still have home games at the G against us the filth and the scums and most probably Hawthorn too in most seasons. Problem signing up long term at Eyesore Stadium. ;D
Stuff the Bums anyway, we have always been a bigger club its just that they have benefitted against us more than any other club in the last 30 years having a former RFC champ as coach marketing them masterfully at a time when we have been abysmal on and off the field to our detriment and expense. Some at Windy Hill are in for a rude awakening. :thumbsup

With 9 days to go at that rate it'll still mean we'll have 45k members going into round 1.
We're also approx. 3000 ahead of this time last year so 50k should be comfortably achievable now.

Where are those tallies published out of interest OE?
It's good that we're selling a few but unless we know the context of the membership categories it's really comparing apples with oranges.

The vast majority are each club's official membership tally on their respective membership page of their official website. The exceptions are Essendon who has a official EFC poster on Essendon's BF board posting regular if not daily updates; Geelong has something similar on BF as well as the Cats' offical twitterer although the tally is updated probably once a week at best; while Collingwood is more from official statements from club officials (there's only been a few over the whole preseason). Fremantle is the only club not to state an official tally figure (or unofficial for that matter) all preseason.

Still increasing our lead over the Bombers (42,657) ;)
We are in front of Freo as well so we're officially in the top 4 of memberships now.
The article in last Saturdays West Australian in an article near the front on P14 says the Dockers have listed their current membership at 40,838 - Target 43,714 to beat the current record of 43343 set in 2007.
Last year at this time they had 38,496 so they should get to the new figure by June.
The Eagles are full with 9383 Families on waiting list who are entitled to 4 tickets each.

I would like to see us really put a major gap in the numbers between us and the bumblers. A lead of 5000-6000 would be appropriate at this stage of the proceedings ;D
-
It's like rotation basis in WA with Eagles fans much like Man Utd and other big EPL clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal.
They need to get that 60K+ seater stadium in Perth.

Tiger train is starting to slow down, and we've almost arrived at punt rd...
Agree about needing a bigger stadium, 60k stadium would be an unwise decision to implement.
They could almost utilise one now, with population growth, the growth of the game they should be looking to house at least 80k in a new state of the art stadium.
Its typical in this country that many things are decided or built without the future in mind.
-
With the amount of wealth in the ground in WA Perth should end up growing faster than all capital cities. If the state govt is smart they will have sufficient taxes in place to facilitate infrastructure projects (physical and social).
QLD does it well, Melb and Syd dont.
So I agree min 80,000 seat stadium for Perth is needed.
-
So I'm guessing we'll get 45k before round 1
The bandwagon jump on if we beat Carlton and a couple more in the first 5 rds??
Also on a seperate note, I can see the resigning of Hurley to Bombres only being a positive for memberships coming into rd 1 for the bombre's.
What how much it will impact??
-
packer rubbing his hands together im sure
as it will be built close by.

wonder what the final tally will be?
still lots to do to get to 75k

Our membership updates are like our contract announcements. The result is well and truly in the bag before it gets announced or updated.
Theres a fair chance that theres at least another 2000 memberships already counted and they will appear on the updated membership numbers tomorrow or the next day. ;D

The only big thing left of our club is the supporter base. Thats it. Those who are responsible for our plight are nothing but pretenders. I doubt most of them give a poo anyway and as for our membership, lets hope they sold afew tonight because if we are 0-5 we wont be selling many in the weeks ahead.
-
Another missed opportunity to get the bandwagon going and really boost our membership well over 50k. The media this morning are predictably running with the same old Richmond failing on the big stage headlines. Some of our supporters who may have finally hopped on as a member will probably think the same :-\.
-
yeh is that the air coming out of those tyres im hearing. :lol
-
This gives me the sh1ttes! The media were the ones blowing us up and the club trying to bring a little perspective into the situation. Opposition supporters don't want to hear that of course they want to tell me it serves us right for boosting ourselves up. Sad rubbish every bloody year! God I hate Carlton :banghead :chuck

if we want to play on the big stage, if we want to play finals if we want to improve as a club you must learn to deal with pressure. If the media hypes it up so be it. We have to learn to be able to play with pride regardless of where we are on the ladder. Facts are we a big club once probably the biggest that's why when anyone walks through the door they should know it, feel it & breath it. The bar should be raised every year. We must WANT to be the biggest & the best. Let's not settle for mediocrity any longer.
Yes I hate Carlscum too.
-
2 points.
1. I hate Carlscum
2. We will still get to 50K.
I am disappointed with last nights result but philosophical.
Just sit back and think for a second which was worse the day after our round 1 game in 2009 or the today.
The team is much better off.
Sure the media sold their papers and will sell them over the next month with us in the headlines but in all honesty all last night did was show how far off development wise we are from top 4 or 5 and the gap between the top 4 or 5 and the rest of the comp.
I still think Melbourne and West Coast at Etihad will still be wins and 2wins from the first 5 is not all doom and gloom after our horror draw.

great post Tucker.
We were right in it last night until we got blown away right at the end. Whilst not a great performance it really wasnt that bad.

Agree - it's funny but in light of the fact that we didn't play great (actually at times we were very average TBBH) to know that we were able to stick with them until those last 20 minutes is a positive
We were what? 30 odd points down in the middle of the 3rd and came back to be down by 2 goals at the final change
10 minutes into the final qtr we were within a goal and had the momentum but a couple of bad errors and the blues got a soft goal and they were away. We lost that game in the last 20 mins (7 goals to 1 usually means that will be the outcome ;D) and it shows that we still have long way to go but isn't all doom and gloom, it was the reality check we needed (some more than others)
Last night will certainly impact on m'ship sales but in that they will stop but in that they will slow
I still think we will hit 50K it just wont happen before Easter but I honestly believe it will happen before the June 30 cut off :thumbsup

Roughly this time last year (04/04/2011) we were 42,736 and had lost round 1 to Carlton. We still reached about 48k. We are now 3500-4000 ahead of last year so as WP said we should get to 50k by the June cut-off.
-
Do we halve or double that total to account for all the cut up cards?

Yep and that included a 71 point loss to the reigning premiers and a 63 point loss to the Hawks.
The sky is falling the sky is falling. :help
It's so easy to get caught up in the hype and think we will beat sides we shouldn't and then jump
of the bandwagon when we don't.
With a similar type of difficult draw this year most fans are pragmatic.
52-53 is still achievable. :thumbsup

Agree with Tuck
Plus I bet that's inflated with non game day memberships
Another point is if you compare their 11 game membership to ours its signifigantly cheaper and not just ours but also than blues and bombers.

That's 1000 in a week, beat the Cats and with a home game to come against the Eageles, Whoa there partner sheesh I reckon we can get to 50k by the end of next week :shh

Wishful thinking.
Need to win one of our next two to get to 51-52K by June.

Even if we creep up at only 100 every working day we'll reach 50k before the end of May.

Dermy said on League Teams he was getting his Tigers membership tomorrow :wallywink then said he'd have it in the microwave by Sunday. And later said no, he's getting one lol. He's been referring to us as 'my Tigers' on Teams lately... I thought he was anti Richmond? :huh
-
didn't he do some work with our forwards a few years ago?
-
Did some work with Jack on his pointing and yelling
It's paid off
-
I'm pretty sure he did. I think I overheard him say that the other day when he was talking about his new Giants role.
Never known his stance on Richmond for sure. My old man hates him because he reckons Dermy is a hater and I've never been one to doubt my father ;D he hates everyone though. Would probably give a few on here a run for most miserable Tigers supporter.
-
Nah Dermie has said previously that since he finished playing he enjoys the colour and drama of the Tiges. Think he's become a genuine fan.
-
Most Tiger supporters never forgave Dermie for busting Freezer's jaw in 1994 when he was playing with Sydney. Dermie copped 7 weeks from the tribunal for it.
-
Does anyone think he will actually buy an RFC membership?
Probably get the 3 game lol.
Maybe he will notice the differences between his poo and wee soulless Hawks and a genuine monster club of the game along the way.

It seems the next big push to increase membership numbers will come from attracting far more non-matchday memberships.

Five-time Hawthorn premiership hero, and multi-media megastar, Dermott Brereton, has joined the Tiger Army.
‘Dermie’, who, in his capacity as a football commentator, has publicly declared he likes the way the Tigers play under Damien Hardwick’s coaching, ventured to the ME Bank Centre, Punt Road Oval, last week, to sign up as a 2012 Richmond member.
Jake King was there to greet him and congratulate him on his decision to follow the lead of more than 48,000 Tigers by committing to the Yellow and Black cause in 2012.

Listening to Gary Pert today, they have a 3 game membership which is going very well. Not sure i heard right but they aim or have got 15k members on that package.
I think we should seriously look at it.
Get more members if only as a 3 gamer, and watch them increase to 11 or 17 as the years go by.

On the surface three game memberships seem to be a good idea. However, are three game memberships coming at the expense of, say, someone who was already on a full membership? Or are these three game memberships atracting people who would ordinarily have let a membership lapse or never intended to join as a full member?
The club needs to assess this first.
-
I thought we already have a 3 gamer?

I thought we already have a 3 gamer?
We do indeed
It's called the Tiger Insider for memory and it replaced what used to be the membership which was once called "on the bench" which was for those who never went to games. they got things like things like drink coasters or an engraved pen etc
As I found out this year we actually don't have anything for members who cannot get to any games. :banghead And there are people in that category
All they offer is the 3 gamer with no extras outside of the normal membership stuff (stickers, lanyard etc) or for those interstate the interstate membership.
Notice in that article about the Pies they said they were looking at setting up a complete non ticketed m'ship for people who cannot get to games. Guarantee is the Pies do that then they will force the AFL to change how they count memberships :banghead

Hopefully by Monday with a home game on Saturday we have less than 1000 to go and with a win we can knock off that last bit quickly and get to 50K. A win this week and next week at Dreamtime and we'll get to 51-52K.

I believe the AFL extended the cut-off until August Balmy.
We are now going at a rate of about 70 a business day. So we should have 50k before the end of May.

I reckon the club already has 50,000 members and they are just dragging it out a little so they can make it a PR exercise down the track.

Agree
They certainly have been selling them
Though I still reckon they need a membership that caters for people who simply cannot get to games and sorry RFC the 3 game membership just doesn't cut it.
There are people (like the elderly in nursing homes) who cannot under any circumstances get to games. What does the club offer these folks? Sweet FA it seems :banghead
We seem to be the only club who don't offer a membership for that category of supporter. Why?

I have had a membership now for 12 years and have probably been to 20 games in that period of time. I keep buying my membership to support the club and not try to get every cent back just because I brought a membership. I know a ton of people in the same boat, if you a passionate supporter who wants to support the club any way they can you will find they will buy a membership regardless.....

If you can afford it I agree with you 100% but some people cannot afford $85 a year for the Tiger Insider membership which is the cheapest one on offer (this is our 3 game m'ship BTW)
Why can't they offer something for $40 or $50 that gives you no access to games but let's you be a member. That's what i am talking about the Club doesn't cater for these people
Isn't it about getting as many members as they can?

WP, i bought my young bloke a Cotchy's Cub membership, which i think cost about 80 bucks, yet he can't use his card to get in. A mate of mine did the same, the card has no bar code. My other son is a saints supporter (and about to become homeless ;D) and i bought him a Rooeys Club membersip and he gets in. Is there a membership for juniors that includes admission?

I think he will return Ramps. I took him to the family day before the Sydney game and he felt so out of place he asked for my scarf. I have taken to a couple of Richmond games and he accidently found himself cheering for us. His mates at school turned him on to the saints. It breaks my heart :'(

Tell him how we have the best song and the most fans;)

Tried all that Mrakov, i have been explaining how Nick Riewoldt cries all the time, Stephen Milne is a tip rat and that the saints are going down whilst we are going up. I'll get him back on board!

Yes it's called a junior m'ship and it will get you into 11 home games
And GR12 I know about the Cotchy club as that's what I get my nephew & niece every season.
However as of next year my nephew is 18 and can't be in the "Coaches Crew" or whatever it is. He goes to 1 game a year in Brisbane (and that may change as he applying to join the army and could posted anywhere) so a Interstate M'ship is pointless; ditto the 3 game m'ship as it can not be used to access interstate games
So based on that the club has no other option available to encourage him to remain a member.... has to be a better way IMHO

Kids get in free up until a certain age, I guess that is why they don't need a barcode.
-
They have membership drive on SEN for st kilda today, and they stated they have 35k members and there is 5k from last year who havnt signed up. My question is does richmond have and un renewed members from last year and if so?? How many??
Cheers

there would be some. They put a fair effort into getting them to renew as well. they've tried to call me 3 times to discuss it.

m'ship is called "junior 16" gets you access to all Vic games cost = $42
Or you can go for a family m'ship covers 2 adults & 2 kids. With no reserve seat it's $370 for 11 games or $582 for 16 games

Now Alberts pick up the phone and engage in a nice discussion with one of the girls at the membership office and then give them your credit card details and join up. Al ... you could be the 50,000th... you could make history, you could be famous :lol

I'd been holding off until work picked up but unfortunately i have to head down to melbourne this weekend so thought i make the most of the situation
-
So you werent the 50,000th member Al? Im disappointed ... I thought the club would give you a Jeep :lol
Anyway just a memo to RFCO - You blokes at Richmond better not give up a major prize for the 50,000th member, it poos me to tears when I see someone who couldnt be stuffed buying a membership early pick up a prize whilst thousands upon thousands of members renew memberships and never get anything decent in return- just saying thats all. :cheers
-
hoping for the 100 millionth mcg prize ;D

hoping for the 100 millionth mcg prize ;D
are you a member now Alberto?
-
yep, renewed this morning
-
hoping for the 100 millionth mcg prize ;D

It was the online pressure that I put on Alberts to get it done RFCO. By the way wheres my Jeep, I getting all these guys to renew ... I should be on commission ;D A Jeep will do :gotigers

Something very NQR about a few of those.....
Port can barely get half of 37k to a home game, and if I'm not mistaken North's last home crowd was at 16,000 or there abouts?
-
The man and his dog at North buy multiple memberships ;D. Port's is for both the Power and SANFL Magpies combined and their traditionals fans aren't use to following a losing side given Port Magpies dominated the SANFL before they joined the AFL. Soft!
Anyway after tonight's great win on the big stage we'll break through the 50k barrier by Monday 5pm. Those that have been waiting back after being burnt by too many false dawns will be hopping on the bandwagon now. The sleeping giant has finally awoken!

hope we have air in the tyres as more jump on board

Why the Footy Show and let the Hairy Malaka butcher it or Jimmy dream it would be his Nought Club. We have our own identity call the press conference on Thursday with Dimma if we get there and go with that leading into the free entry for the kiddies for Saturday's game.
Our success is ours and nobody elses let us celebrate it, we don't need the recognition from others who for so long have not hesitated to stick the boot in given the chance.

I signed my nine year old son as a cotchy's cub this two weeks ago because he begged me to.
He showed everyone his gift pack and hasn't taken his cap off since.
Four years ago he asked me if he had to follow the tigers because we always lose and I asked him to wait a while.
I even rushed out and bought him a Tigers pencil case and put my membership stickers on it to sway him.
I'm proud to say we have a Tiger for life now!
Well done Richmond and well done to us faithful.

Ha. I remember my nephew saying the same thing at about that time. I felt bad for the kid, particualyy as they live in Essendon.
He was wrapped though when I staggered up there after the hawks game and gave him my Maurice Rioli club keyring.
I reckon he will appreciate any success more than the bummer hordes he has to live amongst

This has been eating away at me since yesterday.
Yesterday whilst listening to the news on SEN, matt grandlin read as part of the news "and richmond has broken thru the 50,000 mark as fans have jumped on board and joined after big ones over hawthorn and st kilda" or words similiar to that.
Now seriously, WTF?? It was read out 3-4 times yesterday, and as we here all know we were closer to 50k than we were further before the wins. Actually without checking I'd take a punt and say we we were on 48.5 k plus before the wins.
Anyway watch the jealousy continue from opposition supporters
Rant over...

I signed my nine year old son as a cotchy's cub this two weeks ago because he begged me to.
He showed everyone his gift pack and hasn't taken his cap off since.
Four years ago he asked me if he had to follow the tigers because we always lose and I asked him to wait a while.
I even rushed out and bought him a Tigers pencil case and put my membership stickers on it to sway him.
I'm proud to say we have a Tiger for life now!
Well done Richmond and well done to us faithful.
I look forward to the future. :gotigers
Didn't hurt locking him in the basement did it? :lol :shh

Yeah as long as we continue to climb the ladder. But the only way we will do that is to do something about our tall forward targets. Reiwoldt needs to be joined by Vickery and Post from now on. Miller can take back seat at Coburg ;D

Hawthorn got 60k.
There was about 10k Hawks fans at the g against us. lolz

Not sure if serious? Really? I'd actually rather Miller. Even then i'd rather stick needles in my eyes. Just play 2 forwards Riewoldt and Vickery. 3rd forward just gets in the way. Need to recruit Membrey as a Darling type 3rd tall.

11k or so are Tassie members, but even so its mind boggling they would have as many melbourne based members as us and more than carl essendon. Something NQR about it, but proof is in the pudding, when it comes to membership revenue, they are way down the list, bunch of phonies

The number won't change this year, the AFL membership figure they release will reflect our numbers. As of 2012 they have decided to count our junior non-access membership i.e: Cotchy's Cubs, Baby Tiger, that had previously not counted as they are non access.
So they will now count.

Don't the Whoreks and the Pies have 1 game memberships?

Not sure about the 1 game, but I know Pies really push their 3-gamer (probably comes with a discount at Frankston Centerlink) and the Dawks' numbers are bloated by footy starved Tasmanians and faux memberships.

All jokes aside, it's actually quite outstanding that our membership has continued to rise unabated during our current malaise. Win, lose or draw, and for better or worse, no other club in the competition can match our supporters for passion or strength of support. Misguided as it may be at times!! :o

ourpassion is not misguided ever.its something thats born from a period of complete superiority and now nurtured and substained by a supporter group pleading,striving,bleeding for a return to those days.

Tigers target 53,000 members
By Jaimee Damon
Wed 22 Aug, 2012
The 2012 AFL membership deadline has changed from previous years, with the cut-off date for official tallies being pushed back to August 31.
Exceeding 53,000 members would give the Club a great chance of moving ahead of the Eagles.

Richmond has achieved a significant membership milestone, signing its 53,000th member for 2012.
The Tigers hit the mark late yesterday, with still one week remaining before the AFL’s cut-off date for official membership tallies.
This accomplishment is a key part of the Club’s five-year strategic plan, which set a target of 75,000 members by the end of 2014.
It places Richmond fourth overall in terms of membership numbers among AFL clubs, behind only Collingwood, Hawthorn and West Coast.
“This excellent result is a tribute to the incredible passion, loyalty and pride shown in the Yellow and Black by the Tiger Army,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.

We will get more than Hawthorn next year.

Still a very impressive number given how long we have been in the doldrums. Fourth best membership figure must be scary to the other clubs. We can only go up with a little success! :thumbsup

Hawthorn can't get more than 60k.. Even if they win the flag they will get 60k next year. If we make finals next year I reckon we will get 61-63k.
-
Can Richmond get to 60,000 next year? Will we get their legitimately or will we do a Hawthorn and sign up all living creatures who walk on 4 legs or reside in the animal big house known as the Royal Melbourne Zoo. Benny Gale needs to fire up! He needs to use all marketing means at his disposal. He needs to pamphlet drop the animals at the zoo and get them to change their minds and join the Tiges. ;D

We targeted 50k this year and got 53k. So I'm guessing while we'll target 60k next year, the Club will be hoping for say 63k and then in 2014 have a target of 70k hoping to actually push up to the 75k in line with the 3-0-75 plan. Need a good start next year with finals looking a near certainty throughout the season for any of that to happen IMO. To get to 70k in 2014 we'll need to look like genuine contenders so all the bandwagoners and those who have been burnt by false dawns believe again and sign up.

The "3" part was always the most overtly optimistic (ie. deluded :whistle) part of the plan. With our current list no way were we going to make finals this year. The top liners are very good but as we all know we have no depth with utter spuds at the bottom end. The "0" debt by 2014 and 75k members is genuinely possible provided we make finals next year and back it up with a top 4 finish in 2014.

no way were we going to make finals?
if our defense and forward line were both 1 goal a week better we wouldnt be far off top 4.
When you look at some of the game we dropped, we should be gearing up for our first finals appearance in yonks.

Yep the plan will probably end up being a year off.

"if" the important word there al. Most sides that genuinely challenge for finals have strong second halves to the season - eg: Hawks, North, Freo & Geelong. Our form fell away in the second half of the year. We weren't playing near the standard we did say against Hawthorn and Sydney when we had close to our best 22 on the park. Once we lost a couple of key players midseason and our depth was tested we not surprisingly fell away. It was always going to happen. We were too young and inexperienced to be finals contenders. We need another 4-5 quality players to finally get there.
-
pretty much agree with most of that MT, except for it was always going to happen. we didnt need too much to go our way to be making up the numbers next week

IMO our best footy improved significantly this year; Our worst is still too far off the pace and has proved costly this year hence the need for 4-5 more quality players so the schoolboy errors are minimized further and those cringeworthy brainfades virtually disappear altogether.
If next year is similar to 2012 as far as the draw, not losing any of our elite A-graders like Cotch, Lids or Jack and we gain a couple of quality players then yep al we should play finals in 2013. Still as Carlton found this year nothing is guaranteed. We'll still be a young side compared to the rest of the comp. and some guys who came in this year and had good seasons could get 2nd year blues. Hopefully we have far more blokes who improve than stagnate or drop off next year :pray.
-
As much as many of us didn't think we'd make finals the club had already penciled this year in.
Hardwick has already stated that this year was a fail because of this.
Facts are we shouldn't have lost 2 unlosable games to both GC and the scum. :banghead Then you win atleast one either freo or north and we are playing finals this year.
No excuses!
-
Win the first game next year and we will get to 60k membership easiliy

And yet 1 kick in the dying seconds of 3 games rolls the other way and we are in. I wouldn't say overtly optimistic or deluded is very fair or reflective MT. We might not have been competitive had we made it but as you have pointed out, 2-0-75 is very achievable and we have likely missed the "3" by a very small margin.

AFL CLUB memberships have burst through the 700,000 mark for the first time.
The 18 AFL clubs totaled 707,621 members this year, up 1.1 per cent from last year's figure of 699,684.
Of the seven clubs to build their membership base in 2012, North Melbourne and Richmond had the biggest membership climb. The Tigers had the most new members (5372) while North had the greatest percentage increase with its 3509 new members causing a 11.73 per cent spike.
Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn and West Coast were the only other clubs to record membership increases.
Collingwood was once again the largest-supported AFL club with 72,688 members, breaking a record for any club in the competition's history. Hawthorn (60,841), West Coast (57,377) and Richmond (53,027) were the other clubs to break the 50,000 barrier.

Are these the final officially endorsed AFL figures? Last year we had 47k members in total but the AFL knocked us down to 40k because they didn't recognise our non-ticketed members or because we didn't pay $50k or something like that for some barcode that makes it all kosher. It would be great if this year the whole 53k is recognised as it should be. While the revenue from memberships is the most important thing, there is a marketing and sponsorship factor in being able to say we have 53k members which is top 4 in the AFL. Probably even top 3 if the Eagles' waiting list membership is excluded. Just an amazing effort given the 3 clubs still ahead of us have won flags and regularly played finals in the past 6 years. As I was told be someone high up at the Club, the AFL sees its greatest growth in the next few years coming from us becoming successful onfield aside from the two new clubs.
