You're correct Ramps - we have (own) a 51% share of the Richmond Cricket Club.

Hopefully the RFC can make an extra quid out of this this year.

Fortunately, it won't matter if the Punt Rd turf is killed off by "Centre Square" as it was last year as the ground is being redeveloped and reshaped. Hopefully the Club is earning a decent quid out of it too.
