Some interesting things discussed tonight by Club....(courtesy of IDGAF, Tiger Stripes & The Gun on BF)
# - Greater fan access to players
# - greater player involvement digitally IE;twitter accounts/blogs etc. (they can't be forced they have to want to do this)
# - collating and gathering all tiger media releases onto one forum
# - Club is interested in expanding the media front, looking at Bigpond Nation (http://afl.nation.bigpondsport.com/richmond/), facebook, more chats, interviews, podcasts. They're basically keen on involving the fans and providing the best experience possible.
# - streaming Coburg games through ours or another website
# - We also requested that live streaming of training sessions on the new site (cant recall what it was called) the club said it is a possibility.
# - using the punt rd. facilities much more on match days , BBQ's , family activities , injured players on hand to meet and greet.
# - Playing Coburg games @ Punt rd. as curtain raisers on the cards
# - much greater coverage and wrap ups from Coburg as to how Richmond listed players are travelling
# - the club is looking to take more ownership/branding of the "G" on game day. 'Richmondization" of the G, branding everywhere, maybe flag or banner giveaways.
# - Ben Cousins currently has no role now or in the foreseeable future @ the RFC (but he loves us and the door is open is my feeling)
# - When purchasing any merchandise from the AFL stores/Target etc. the club gets less than 1% of the proceeds. When merch is purchased from "The Tiger Den" the club gets around 40% of the proceeds. Complete and utter no brainer. BUY ALL YOUR GEAR DIRECT FROM THE CLUB

i really like the Coburg matches at Punt Road Oval!
if Richmond are not going to have a stand alone VFL team, then Coburg should play their home matches at Punt Road Oval and "some" at Craigieburn.

# - Playing Coburg games @ Punt rd. as curtain raisers on the cards
I always find this amusing - when it is all said and done the RFC have no control on whether Coburg play home games at Punt Road... the decision is in the hands of 1/ Coburg and they would need to make $$$$ from it (which they don't unless the RFC pays) and 2/ AFL Vic (VFL) - who would rather see more games at Craigieburn than at Punt Road because they have invested in that facility

I understand Coburg's positon but it's a shame that a great little ground to watch footy and in a great location with easy access to get to won't be used for VFL games. I believe they discussed the pros and cons (mostly financial) of our own ressies side as well.

stuff coburg. poo place poo suburb.
Would love Richmond ressies games at punt road

Richmond should ditch Coburg IMHO and go it alone!

Got a spare $400k or thereabouts? On the back of losing $300k annual income due to the lost of the Royal Oak I can't see the RFC finding almost an extra $1m to cover it all.

Actually reading Inside Footy this week and the little snippet about how the VFL have put license fees up for the traditional VFL clubs I cann only guess what they would be stinging stand alone AFL clubs (Pies & Cats)
But yep it would cost between $400k-$500k a season
