Title: Richmond looked at securing a tiger to parade at home games (Caro on 3aw)
Post by: one-eyed on September 12, 2014, 04:16:59 PM
3AW Football's Caroline Wilson told Ross and John the Brisbane Lions are seriously considering using a live lion to add some razzle-dazzle to the Gabba.

Caro said Richmond has also put some thought into securing a tiger.

"Apparently if you get on Google you can get tigers for about $1800," she said.

Isn't that cruelty to animals?
There's no way any greenie would allow an animal to watch a Richmond game.

Be a hell of a lot better than the drums.

Put a live tiger out with the new anthem and you are starting to get a show together.

A little kitty with painted on tiger stripes would be more appropriate

I support the idea of us getting a Tiger. This is how the Ramps program works

1) we get a tiger cub
2) we bring it out at game day
3) we feed the cub until it gets to be a big tiger
4) then we stop feeding it for 3 days before a match
5) we bring it to the match and it parades in a cage
6) if we win the match the Tiger gets a good feed of meat from the local butchery
7) if we lose the match, all Richmond supporters get to use a remote control to pick worst on ground
8) the worst on ground player then gets put into a cage about 50 metres by 50 metres with one escape outlet about 10 metres away from the player.
9) we let the Tiger loose in the cage and the player runs for his life
10) at the end of the day either the Tiger gets a feed or we still have 1 dud on the list.

That gentlemen is modern day entertainment. Nero knew what he was doing with the lions? RFC should take note. No more duds at Richmond. The tribe has spoken.

What about a giant jarate which every player and club employee has filled over the previous week?

It could do a lap of honour and then randomly empty itself out over one bay of Richmond members.

Turning up & being switched on to play, when a legion of Tiger supporters make a massive beyond the normal call effort to show up, will do more to build more atmosphere over time than any gimmick.

Thanks MT.  My next question, WTF is that?  And I'm only after an answer down to the level of genetic make-up.   :thumbsup
