Tigers supporters obviously not as big Facebook fans as other clubs. Twitter their medium of choice. Wonder if this has to do with following players?

Does that mean we are an aging supporter group RFC_Official? Should we be encouraging our supporters to go forth and multiply?  :P

Hawthorn are always boasting they have the youngest supporter group. Is this correct?
