Or whatever the membership campaign was. I remember the club had a similar campaign afew years back...and we were pitiful then to. So lets forget about these gimmicks about dressing the players up to look like James Bond lol...because its a farce ... was before, is today. Richmond needs to forget the gimmicks and just run a footy club properly. The campaign was and is now a total embarrassment.
-
The ""Crunch ball game "" farce can get the stuff too.
Total waste of time and they treat it down there like its a secret weapon, oh dear ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
So we should stop trying to attract members to the club?
-
thats not what i said, anyway...if you guys like that type of campaign then thats fine.
-
So we bag a campaign that led to a club record membership of over 30,000 members for the first time without any bandwagon help from on-field results and that other clubs tried to copy ::).
Come up for air people :whistle
-
Richmond supporters will always support the club, my question is what good is it to place the image of a group of youngsters the way we did it?

The only problem I have with it is everytime we make a player(s) our poster boy it seems to curse them :-\. Richo and all his injuries; Cogs' OP and 2 knee recos; Polo & Tambo's shoulders; Rainsey has been carrying some niggle all year and has "2nd year" blues; Lids has struggled with heavy tag; Meyer's spent most of the year at Coburg. Probably only Patto has shown improvement from last year although he is still a long way off. The last time we made the finals we only had a tiger's face on the membership card.
Okay I know that's all suspicious crap but sheesh! :P.

we dont need marketing to recruit members
total waste of money
rfc ppl will always be that, no need to market to sign them up
in order to recruit new members we must sell an exciting competive brand of footy, not some glossy brochure with a a nice slogan!
why did we get 30k this yr, cos many supporters believed in terrys spin!
if terry stays on next yr, watch our membership nose dive!
i will always renue mine, but many wont
-
I reckon we have 25000 hard core members who sign up irrespective of club or personal circumstances. The non ticketed membership may take a big hammering though coz they may not donate.
-
Our budget plans and predictions have been realistic and conservative under Steven Wright and the current admin. That's why we'll still make a $500k profit this year despite only winning one game.

Extraordinary achievement :clapping

How about using J Bowden and Kane Johnson as the membership poster boys.
Hopefully Bowden gets struck by lightning while he is holding a 9 iron on the golf course and Johnson gets abducted by aliens.
-
add terry to that, whilst driving he can look in his mirror to check his tan and hair and ram into a semi!

Because they look mighty fine in suits?? ;)

Will they? Why weren't they before then?

Because it will attract a certain demographic of fans.
I am not into it personally, but really cant see the harm.
Actually do see the benefit. :thumbsup

hehehe well said
Nothing like making a negative out of a postive :thumbsup

We know what happens with sort of thing. The end of the season is a relief and the Club no longer has to weekly defend on-field results because there are no longer anymore matches.
By trade week we're more interested in who we're chasing or offloading and not what happened in R17. Each club will proclaim a successful trade period.
By Draft day we're more interested in which kids we'll get and each club shoves a club t-shirt on them for happy photos and claim their first pick was their first choice anyway. The club membership packages come out to ride the high.
By the PSD draft we think about getting some star uncontracted player but usually it becomes a non-event. The rookie draft follows and we pick up a kid with our final pick who hardly anyone has heard about from koo-wey-up-in-the-sticks in Country Vic.
By the new year the Aussies are 4-0 in the cricket so we're hanging our for footy again and photos of the newbies at training ;) and by February the previous year is ancient history.
