Don't think we've started planning for 2013. It should be here long term, it's rightful place, but sometimes other agreements or situations (like ground work) override that.

lets hope they never ever go back to Crazyburn

Sorry to say but ABOUT TIME! Punt Road is our spiritual home. To have it anywhere else is like going to Kabul to celebrate Christmas!

Here's the Family Day flyer ...
Family Day returns to Punt Road

Wed 18 Jan, 2012
Richmond’s family day will return to Punt Road Oval in 2012.
The ME Bank Centre will host the annual event on Sunday March 11, from 10.30am-2pm.
As in previous years, there will plenty to keep all the family entertained, including player autographs, kids’ rides and activities, live music, face painting and the presentation of the 2012 playing list on stage.
2012 Richmond memberships will be on sale, and the Tigerland Superstore will be open for all the latest Tiger merchandise.
Entry is via gold coin donation.

It should be a big happy crowd at the Family Day tomorrow. Might get a few bandwagoners turning up and stretching Punt Rd Oval at the seams after today's big win.
-
Both the media and players are twittering that there was a massive turnout to the family day today :thumbsup. 45 minute queues just to get Jake King's autograph :o.

How good's that! :clapping

the way things are going I could see us having to schedule this day at Flemington, seriously though, the under catering is a dissapointment..that should have been managed more professionally
-
will say the under catering was a total disgrace
Pity the women who needed to go to the toilet
I havent the answer but today was madness at its best

Correct :thumbsup

didnt have a chance to talk to either of them ( lomg queues),but King and Connors had trouble walking, both injured, Connors looked bad

Organised chaos Jack. :lol :rollin :lol
As long as its organised and not disorganised.
Sounds like a crazy day, the type to get this club going again. :thumbsup
-
never seen anything like it.
Good fun , long queues.
-
Massive crowd
Perhaps we under esitmated how many would turn up based on it being back at home (aka Punt Road)
Problems getting into the car park
The tiolet queues were monsterous and not just for the ladies , not enough food vendors and the queues to autographs were unbelievable
But like jack said I don't know what the answer is....
-
Hold it at a bigger venue like BJ mentioned.
Maybe Olympic Park or AAMI Park with plenty of amenities and much bigger than Punt Rd and that way it stays local and we keep that unique Richmond fell about it. :shh
-
I thought Jells park was a good destination, spose punt rd is more central for people from all parts of melbourne. Catering should be easily fixed by simply allowing more of the roadside vendors in to set up their vans, Im sure there'd be no shortage of volunteers

I should've rocked up at 7 am with two spits one with lamb and the other with pork and chicken.
The salads and tzatziki would have been dutifully prepared by Mum and everybody would have eaten like a Greek oops I mean Kings. ;D
Greeks can easily solve any RFC catering issue and RFC board issue. ;D
-
cost could be a potential issue.
what would any of those venues cost for a day?
-

Tjhat was the problem not enough of them only had a couple
-
Some pics of the guernsey presentations and of the huge crowd for those of us who didn't get along would be good.. thanks in advance
roughly how much attended?
-
they would have charged the food vendors a fee to set up. once someone pays with the understanding there will only be a certain number of stalls, you cant just get extras in.
It's the sort of event that really hard to plan for. woulod we have got so many if wed been flogged yesterday?
-
after being in the autograph queue for the Bingle Tent for 90 minutes, , got signed the kids jumpers at approx 11.55am
Looked across the road at the Railway station, people were streaming in then.

Bigger venue more amenities and more vendors. Live and learn I guess.
I am sure a good season this year and a good pre season next year will ensure the hype is maintained and overheads will be far outweighed by membership,merchandise and memorabilia sales and general interest not to say extra corporate sponsorship wanting to ride the wave. :thumbsup

why couldnt they have it in the car park or utilise the MCG Facilites.?

About a dozen lambs on spits on the hot coals, heaps of pita bread, abit of tomoto and onion and some rolls and there ya go. Next year I might rock up with a souvlaki van ;D

There is also the issue of rain and potential damage to the surface.can tell you they have had there fingers crossed all week.lucky the weather was great

I left before the jumper presentation
At a guess I'd say between 8-9k

DID THE SAME THING! The queue for Dusty and Cotch went all the way across the oval and into the stands by midday, massive turnout. Looked a bit unorganized.

Anyone with any pics of the guernsey presentation and crowd at Punt Rd? The crowd looked huge on the news tonight.
-
The toilets where a joke.
The food a joke.
More tent for the players to sign would be a good start.
Why was the social club not open again?
Why did we not run tours of the club rooms?
Why was not more mad of TFTF?
With so many people the club missed a big chance today.
-
great response from tiger supporters, imagine when we are up and about!!!
im sure next year will be better sorted, but geez gotta love the strength in numbers
that we can pull and its not like we have been world beaters for 20 odd years.
i think the right move is for it to be held at our spiritual ground every year...mind you i live off
Bridge rd so im sorted...
-
im sure guys if you passed your complaints onto management these
things will be rectified next year...
cant wait till after our GF win imagine the crowd at Punt Rd... :thumbsup

They may as well keep the G open.
It will be huge. :thumbsup

People love a whinge.........
It was a fabulous day. Point blank.
Who the hell wants to eat lunch there :huh
We had a late breaky in Richmond and wandered down.
I'd never worry about getting autographs on a day like that as it is obvious the queues will be long. If you went there to get autographs expect to wait a long time. ;D
The December Christmas thingo was perfect for that type of thing.
We kept it pretty simple, kids did the spekky marks and the kicks for goal, had an ice cream (picked one thing which required a wait of more than 5 minutes) and watched the player presentations before heading home.
8000 Tiger fans on a glorious March day made up for the minor inconvenience of queues for the toilet (they just need more mobile facilities) and the missed opportunity of making the merchandise marquee much bigger. That shop seems too small and is always crowded when I visit.
Great Day Tigers, keep it at Punt Rd and add more mobile toilets along with Tucker and 10 flags souva making skills!

People love a whinge.........
They sure do. Listen to them all complaining about food and toilet. They sound like pigs lol

Pigs you reckon = stupid comment ... did you go?
Gee I dont' know 8000 people and about ten tiolets to cater for them = not a great set up
Again 8000 people and 2 food places that struggled to keep up with demand
It's not about whinging it is about the simple fact that the club clearly under-estimated how many were going to turn up ....
At least they will know for 2013
-
Yes correct WP, they will most likely get it correct for next year.
Has been a fair while since the last there.
Was a great day and the positives far outweigh the few negatives
Seeing its the first one at punt rd in yonks, it would be hard to gauge exactly how many would turn up.
And some here speculated 3-4k and we got double that, who was to know??
If anything to critique that couldve been changed- possibly the ME Bank autograph tent with axl, cotch, dusty and tucky. Way too popular- should have put 1 or 2 of those on the brooks tent. As it was oh so lonely down there.
But as someone else here said if you went solely for autographs?? It was always going to be tough to get them all.
Great day and thankyou RFC

If people were so dying to go have a pee why didnt they go down the road to the Westpac Centre and pee on that. pee on Collingwood. Thats what real Richmond people would have done ;D
-
Surely Coke as a club sponsor could of been asked to support the day with a few drink caravans.it ain't that hard to organize
Club could of also done a deal with local traders to participate as well

Been thinking about this
One thing I would do is use the RFC carpark for extra food vans & tiolets
Club organise (yes pay for) an area with the MCC Car Park people for a set area for RFC staff, players & officials - say 200 cars.
By freeing up the car park you can get more amenities for the public and then move some of the queues to outside the main ground = creates more space
Just a thought
-
I dont know why you guys are complaining next year youll all have the chance to sample Tuckerbag 10 Flags Souvlaki . It will be the finest array of Souvlakis ever seen. No one will go hungry. Menu and prices to follow shortly. Negotiations with the club leadership to begin soon :lol

I remember a few years back when I took my little ones to the family day at punt rd they cordoned of the centre square with the players all on the inside of it. All we had to do as fans was to walk around the square and my kids pretty much got everyones signatures & photos with those players that day without much waiting or lining up.
Richo was one of the first ones signing autographs that day. Last one to head back inside.
Nathan brown was the last one out signing & the first one back inside that day. :banghead
-
Maybe he wasn't feeling well. Show some respect. :banghead

I've met the N.G.Brown on a few occasions and he has always been really forthcoming with his time, even bought a few rounds. I'm a champ, but i'm sure he's like that with most people.

I've met a few players over the years. From Richmond all of them I've met over the years were all cool blokes. Nathan Brown wasn't one of them. The other two tossers were Brereton & Didak.
Dippa is a champ as is Ray Jenke (top bloke!)
I suppose most guys are just living the dream and some act like they own the world or everyone elses women.
-
Tigra, are you a bloke or a woman?
Didak is just a shitman
-
so is brereton
-
Err, don't question me pal.
-
There are two things that annoy me.
One is trying to pick up a chick when she is clearly already attatched
the other is taking advantage of a young girl.
Both acts are dog acts in my opinion & you deserve a roundhouse kick to the head.
-
How young is young? Did Brownie have a crack at you :lol
Browny, such a legend :cheers

is just what I've seen & after meeting them I formed the opinion that those blokes are full of themselves. If you like the guy (Brown) & you have a pretty wife then I don't suggest you associate with him.
P.S Roachy is top bloke too
