Major training sessions to replace Richmond Family Day
richmondfc.com.au
December 17, 2015 3:59 PM
Richmond will deliver its members and fans a vastly improved open training experience next year, with three fan-friendly upsized training sessions to replace the Club’s traditional family day.
After an analysis of recent family day events, it was determined that overcrowding, and long queues to access player autographs, had reduced fans’ engagement and enjoyment levels.
As a result, the Club will invite fans to three enhanced open training sessions in January and March – one in Beaconsfield, and two others at the Tigers’ home base at Punt Road Oval.
At the sessions, members and fans will be able to watch the players train, access player autographs, enjoy kids’ rides, face painters and activities, and purchase food and drink, merchandise and memberships.
More details about each event will be communicated in the New Year.
Family open training sessions in 2016:
Friday, January 22 – Beaconsfield (presented by Parklea)
Sunday, March 6 – Richmond Football Club
Sunday, March 20 – Richmond Football Club

Well nice to know the club puts the rest of the fans and members second because of a 'deal' with developers.
I wonder how much sponsor money is being paid to us. Probably a bats pee worth.
Principles......

Thanks Dooks.
It's simple, our home base is Punt Rd.
It's central, it's near a train station, it's in RICHMOND.
Leave all open training sessions at our home base.

No need to thank me, calling it as I see it. But your welcome to 'ride shotgun', as they say.
One thing which seems to have been overlooked is that there were many open training sessions at punt rd in previous years. So really, the net gain for members non-existent. In fact, I recall some years with 3 open training sessions at punt rd. And there's no doubt the big day (or iconic day, if you will) is planned for woop woopville. So it's worse for the majority of us.
Just some effwit guy's idea in an air conditioned office.
Eff em

And for those playing from home, it's 51.2km from the CBD.
So jump on the Monash from near punt road.
Keep going, going, going.
When you get to the turnoff for Jells park, keep going.
Waverley park, nope. Half way.
Past east link.
Past Dandy north.
Past endeavour Hills.
Eummemering? 20kms to go.
Turn off for Hallam? Nope.
Narre warren nth? Nope. Oh, Narre Warren? Keep going.
Berwick? Surely...... Nope......
Keep going keep going.....
Is this the turnoff for Clyde north? Yes it's is. But head north wtf????

Wasn't there a pillar in our grand strategy about having a deeper understanding of the fans? Or is it having a deeper understanding about making more money from the fans? Either way, apart from a pretty good customer service team in the membership department, the rest is pretty poor. Having any open training session away from punt rd in metro melbourne ends up disengaging someone.

While I understand your point their argument would be they are actually engaging fans as it is taking the players to people who would not be able to get to Punt Road
I won't be going BTW, over an hours drive to get down there
You could argue the start time of 4pm is stupid with so many people back at work getting there between 4-5 is near on impossible
So It doesn't matter what they do here someone is not going to like it....you know the old saying you can't please everyone

Is there any plan to live-stream the session on the web site? That would be awesome! :gotigers

So don't complicate it further by taking training somewhere which benefits a minority of fans.
Punt Rd has been home for most of us our entire lifetime.
Not sure why they even felt the need to change it in the first place....

Yep obviously HRT's "rain dance" has succeeded
:rollin

Disappointed but think it is fantastic the RFC see the benefit in bringing the brand to the outer suburbs. Not all supporters live in or near inner Melbourne thus don't get the chance to see the boys run around.

Will have to go with the misus to look at a new cat now :thumbsdown

Back to the topic, ppl!
Training went ahead at Punt Rd instead.
The show goes on after cancellation

Wet weather footy Watch the Tigers train in wet conditions.
Despite the Club's scheduled open training in Beaconsfield not going ahead on Friday due to the predictably unpredictable Melbourne weather, Richmond's players completed a wet-weather session at Punt Road Oval.
The light outing lasted just over an hour on the field, before the players made their way into the gym for some strength work.
Off-season recruit Chris Yarran was a welcome addition back to skills work after a recent focus on conditioning, while Dan Butler was another to catch the eye as he puts in a strong pre-season following a debut year ruined by a knee injury.
After a three-day weekend, the players will return to the club on Australia Day as preparations increase ahead of next month's NAB Challenge opener against Fremantle.
