Pathetic!
because too many tiger fans are not real fans, they dont support , just watch the game on tv, and pretend to be fans because they ring talk back radio and spend their lives around various forums.
its a bloody disgrace and we are meant to be part of the big 4 , what a joke
-
Your right.
Cant blame the AFL for wanting NOT to give us main fixtures.
-
looks like more sunday twilight games for us next year to cater for all our tigers fans who love their tv's and couches so much! so tiger fans who dont have foxtel, better call 131999 next yr

Simply people can't afford to go to many away games after money spent on membership,transport food and possibly reserved seats?
As a single person footy is pretty cheap to me but for a family an away game must be fairly expensive..

Give up the smokes then , lol
Doesnt stop other clubs supporters. ::)
By the way, I have a family- 2 kids

Maybe because for some of us, the working week isn't Mon -Fr, 9-5...

Haven't been to a game since 2006. Not my fault the stupid AFL don't let us play the Lions at the Gabba.
-

Pathetic!

i know im not having a dig at interstate supporters julz, and im sure jackstar isnt either.

families can choose where they can and cant spend money, but one does not have to buy food at the venue, do as most sensible families do and bring your own food
but i am sure lots of could budget more budget better and be able to attend these very important away games
jackstar is right, im not suggetsting your are in this category, but its funny how many people who cannot afford simple things , always find money for smokes, alcohol, pokies, tattslotto, meaningless rubbish, take away food , the list goes on
for example, a cousin of mine and his wife always whinge they cant afford this or that , but they both smoke a packet a smokes a day each. thats nearly a mortguage, its actually like a mortguage
-
I only go to home games, simply because I have other things in my life as well. I have a husband who doesnt go to the footy and a son who plays footy so I have chosen to divide my weekend between my family and my footy and I have chosen to spend my hard earned on both the club and, well whatever else I want, be it smokes drinks or Oxfam , I hope thats ok by all you diehard fans. And being the "diehard" fan that I am, I dont give a fat rats what day or night we play on, if its a home game I'll go :gotigers

We were playing Geelong at TD last night.....do I need to give you any more reasons? :P

Yep, and there wouldnt have been more than 5000 supporters there., Sums it all up I reckon
-
Were you there Jack ?
From where I was you couldn't see the top deck and you don't usually see it on telly either.
I would say being an away game most of the tigers would have been out of sight in the bleechers.
I thought 42 was reasonable, fact is a lot of tigers resent going to the Dome, especially away games
I would of said 60/40 giving us around the 16,000 mark .....

Aisle 5, with my friend""Tigers for Life"" ( where the players race is)
Can tell you last week, I sat in Aisle 46 and all you could see was a sea of yellow.
Last night, all you could see was a sea of blue.
Most disappointing!

Geez missed 3 Melbourne-based games all year. So shoot me :sleep
I wonder if those pointing the finger were attending games in 1990 when 17k would only turn up to Richmond vs Essendon games ::).

Mate. I have been going since 1966, and for the past 5 years usually been to 3 games around.
Might add MT , if the 17,000 turned up for the game last night, it would of been a sell out.
At best last night ,there would of been 5000 supporters, PATHETIC!
Even the turn up and the Richmond /Carlton( celebration game )was nearly the same as round 1.

You mean all clubs have more of their supporters turning up to home games than away games. Geez what a revelation :wallywink. Most people have a life other than attending 3 games a weekend.
You'll also find Tiger supporters remember turning up in large numbers to an away game at the Dome against St Kilda in 2003 and they were locked out ::). Those lucky to get in didn't get in until after quarter time. Not like the old days where you could rock up and sit anywhere other than the MCC area at the 'G.

Your funny, get a life.
Dont you go to every training session, :lol
And further more, its was more employment in the sport that required me to attend 3 games a weekend. all good fun actually
You excuse about lockout is as week pee, we got seats last night, level 1 , for $26.00 , cheap.
By the way, general admission on level 3 is only $20 odd , so what the big deal, if Richmond supporters wanted to go , they could of, they just didnt!
Also smart arse, you can purchase an adult 17 ticket season ticket, why people only buy a adult 11 has got me beat, CHEAP SCATES i reckon, support your team I say!

Thanks Jack, I will take your opinion of me on board, as I've already stated, i have my reasons and even tho I dont have to explain my budget to you i will anyway, one kid coming up for his 18th another about to turn 21 a daughter who looks very likely to be getting engaged..for some strange reason I would rather spend my money on my children.
We all have different budgets and priorities and we shouldnt be made to feel guilty about not giving all our money to Richmond and we also shouldnt be made to feel like 2nd class supporters because we choose not to.
Dont even bother! >:(

All i am saying is that its extremely disappointing that only 5000approx supporters turn up last night.
And yes, it was one of the biggest games of the year for the RFC , whats amazes me that they had 30,000 there the previous week, yep and about 1000 Brisbane lions supporters at that, where were the Tigers supporters last night. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
And furthermore, they stayed away in DROVES for the celebration game, what was the slogan, 100,000 at the g ::)
And it was OUR HOME game i beleive, and judging by the crowd at that game, there were more Carlton supporters there, now thats funny, more opposition than the home team ::)
-
I went last night with 8 others...
I have no problem if people choose not to attend... last time i checked we were still living in a democracy ::)
To suggest that because people chose not to attend they are any less a supporter is laughable and insulting....
Got to say the problem with buying reserves seats at the Dome is enough to put anyone off, coupled with the price. I mean $23 for a reserve when reserve seats at the MCG are arounf $12. Personally, I purchase on line, needed a total of 9 tickets, click on the link for RFC members and end up getting tickets in aisle 20 where the Geeeeeeelong team run out.... give me break :banghead

Yeah the week before it was a home game Jack, people have reserved seats much easier to deal with...
As for the Carlton game .... let's get real. Filling the MCG is dependant on 2 things how many MCC members bother to show up and how many AFL members turn up. Look at Hawthorn & Geelong: sell out they said but half the MCC members was empty. So insteand of having 95K what was it 80K odd.
As the Carlton game half the MCC members was empty and ditto the AFL Members... cannot blame RFC members and supporters for that....

We sat in Aisle 5, next to the Richmond Race. ;)
yep we do live in a democracy.
Pathetic turn up last night by the faithfull.
There one week, gone the next!
And I also think we have alot of ""fair weathered"' supporters as well, I die to go to the footy each way and make it a priority!
Why after the best win last week in ages( excitement wise etc ),wouldnt supporters go ??? Money , nah!
They could have paid $20 odd for general admission and supportered there team,
And they will be first to cry when the AFL takes blockbuster games away from them. ::) ::) ::)
-
I was surprised at the crowd last night myself, i expected near on a sell out after our recent good form.
I can understand that lots of people dont go on a Saturday night, i would think one of the main factors is the game is only slightly on delay and also many people do go out on a Saturday night.
There are many of us who's first preference is to attend the footy but as WP mentioned it is a democracy that we live in. Can also understand people wanting or needed to limit the amount of money they spend on certain things, especially with kids!!!
-

Also smart behind, you can purchase an adult 17 ticket season ticket, why people only buy a adult 11 has got me beat, CHEAP SCATES i reckon, support your team I say!
:whistle
Anway the membership prices are:
Adult 11 - $167
Adult 17 - $285
A difference of around $120 is significant for a lot of people for just 6 more games. If you were good at maths you'd notice there's no savings over just rocking up as GA to those 6 away games. Where's the incentive! ??? That $120 would pay for 3 junior 11 game memberships if you have kids so the family could go to the footy rather than just one adult. As 2JD says how people prorietise their spending is their business. Most people don't live in an ivory tower and they actually have to stick to a budget.
As for the Centenary game, we greatly outnumbered Blues fans where I was sitting (I sat with my Dad that day up the top deck of the Northern stand). You know up with the plebs ::). You'll find that day that the GA area was mostly full. It was the MCC and AFL members that didn't show up so blame them. 72k each time is still more than Essendon got against Carlton, the non-ANZAC Collingwood vs Essendon, and 14k more than Collingwood vs Hawthorn got.
Btw you've said recently you still go to training sessions ;). I pop in on the way to work to meet up with friends :thumbsup.
-
Adult 11 compared to adult 17 is a difference of $118.00. wow
Now thats $2.27 a week for a year. BIG DEAL.
I dont think money is the major factor for people not going to the footy
::)
-
As I said to you last week, it's none of your business why people don't go to the football.
I remember you going to other games when the Tiges were playing sometimes.
Okay, you were working for another club.
But so what, you expect everyone else to drop things they might be doing to go to Tiger games. Why couldn't you then?
Are you trying to make yourself to be some kind of saviour or something?
I'll go when I please.
-
everyone has a fair call to goong or not going, prices for everything in general living is up since labor come into goverment raping us with thier broken promises & l being guilty voting them poofs in.
When we go out as a family, it cost me a fortune cause l'm paying adult prices at most places for my children.
My beef for a very long time that anyone under 18 is not a adult & therefore should not be charged adult prices, l even pay adult prices at some places we go for my 13 & 16 just days ago.
example; go to the Hotrod & Custom Car show at the Exhibition Buildings in Carlton each year in Janurary.
Now l presume many of you might have gone to one over your life & so anyone over 12 years old is classed as a adult & charged $20
l wrote to my ombudsman about this cause that this is purely ripoff & should have a law to make it illegal & to stop this kind of greed, everything is greed these days, everyone in goverment will spent mega bucks on sports while the health system is in turmoil so work that out cause l cannot
l spent alot of money for memberships to Richmond, Collingwood & Essendon every year only because l can afford it, but people are struggling to live let alone trying to support thier football club & l know heaps of people who love the tigers who cannot go to games let alone support the club & alot do so through the supporter groups
anyway thats my peice, l stand on the fence cause the goverment is cauing alot of people to suicide from thier greed >:( l'm not on this planet to help my next generation.

All I am saying MOI, we had 30,000 there against Brisbane and 5,000 there on sat night, you work it out SMART ARSE ,and as usual ,you HAVE A GO AT ME, You MUST HATE ME!, good for you! I must make your day :lol
petrol up 5c today, thats 60 litres a week= $3.00 ::)

There would have been 10-12k there sat night , not 5k...Still poor but not as poor as you make out
I think another reason why melb teams away crowds are lower these days is higher membership figures..
If your a member and only go to say 8-11 games a year it makes sense that these would all be home games..
If your not a member and have to pay your $25(or whatever it is) to get into GA then it doesn't matter
wether its a home or away game as you still pay the same...
-
they must give centrelink concession at football ;D there be a few on here that would get it as l seen the word centrelink used a few times in the last few months. How much do you get off Blaisee :lol

Thing is Jack, you dont have a clue as to what the major factor is in people not going to away games, and more importantly, youre not supposed to have a clue, its none of your business, and things that dont seem to be a big deal to you are to other people.
And I also think the Richmond section of the crowd was much bigger than you make out and yes I was there too, but as usual with your doom and gloom outlook you painted a worse picture than it was.
I object to being called a cheap skate by someone who doesnt know me or my circumstances and I object on behalf of the people to whom $118 is a big deal >:(

Well , how can you be a cheap skate when you where there ????? You have me confused. ::)
There wouldnt been anymore than 5000 RFC supporters there sat night.
Dont complain when we dont get blockbuster games in the future either.
Can tell you the most people would waste $118 and more on smokes ,tattslotto, drink etc etc. All i am saying that $118 isnt alot of money in the context of things and I dont beleive its the major reason for people not attending.
Sorry , if this is too complicated for you and others to understand.

well one thing Jack is they never have to worry about buying finals tickets ;D we never make them :lol :thumbsup

Gee and imagine if we ever made a Grand Final and had to stuff out $150 for a ticket, ::)
Even if we made a final, they wouldnt go because they couldnt afford it, or it was too cold, or had had the next door neighbours half brothers cousins 58th birthday party ::)
Or there was train strike ::)
Or the dog was sick
and on and on and on.
Monk, I like your post! :thumbsup

Your generalisation of the not just RFC supporters but now it would seem the entire population staggering and laughable....
To make sweeping statements as to why or why not people go to different games is something you, me and most people wouldn't know, doesn't make them any less a Tiger fan. Just like the "fact" you go to games doesn't make you any better.
And I've gotta a newsflash for you to some people $118 is alot of money. And here's another one what people chose to spend their "hard earn $$$" on is no-ones business but theirs.... ::)

Are you going to Adelaide this week Jack and did you go to our 4 other interstate games this year?

You are correct WP.
People can do what they like with their money.
You genuises have misssed whole agrument.
I said that money wasnt the main reason and if people wanted to go last saturday, they would of.
they obviously didnt want to go, end of subject.
You get great pleasuring at ""slagging me "" WP ???
Miller gone, you know who next, get used to the idea,

Actually I don't Jack I suppose I just get frustrated like you do ;)

That's all nothing more or nothing less

I don't have to as I'm not the one having a sook just so he can bag our own supporters and inflate his own tyres (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/images/smilies/ignored.gif).
Without these supporters you bag Jack this club would've been dead long ago. They weren't and aren't the ones who have screwed the club over the past 26 years and they didn't distract the club midweek with more off-field crap ::).

Your funny
Your the first to sook about the AFL and us losing blockbuster and friday night games etc
And my tyres dont take much air either, their low profile :lol :lol :lol :rollin :rollin

I think you mean You're :wallywink
LOL you believing the AFL chooses the fixture to maximise crowds. We finish top 4 in crowd numbers every year and it means bugger all as far as the fixture. It's all about tv ratings and $$$ and if you've been crap on-field you don't get the Friday nighters. It's the neutral supporters that bump up the numbers and they don't watch crap teams and games. Someone in marketing should already know that ;).
Richmond Friday night games per season: (previous year finish)

Wow what a coincidence! A top 4 finish gave us 7 Friday nighters the following year while our wooden spoons gave us a token one at best.
You'll also find Jack that more people in Melbourne watched us on tv play Brisbane (a home game) than Geelong (away game). So much for your theory that supporters prefer watching away games on tv than going ;).

I think you mean You're :wallywink
LOL you believing the AFL chooses the fixture to maximise crowds. We finish top 4 in crowd numbers every year and it means bugger all as far as the fixture. It's all about tv ratings and $$$ and if you've been crap on-field you don't get the Friday nighters. It's the neutral supporters that bump up the numbers and they don't watch crap teams and games. Someone in marketing should already know that ;).

Look I can understand why people can and can't go to away games. Each to their own. In terms of away supporters that Jack talks about well 26 years of on field crap that we have endured will have a significant thing to do with our presence in the ground. I am sure if we were in an era similar to the one between 67-80 and with the number of blockbuster games played at the G we would be getting similar or more than lets say Collingwood Essendon or Carlton who have seen their fair sure of ups. Especially the latter 2 the Pies are just mediocre at anything they do and the awful truth is a large minority of our society reflects this mediocrity and underachieving by hanging on grimly to the ideals that Collingwood is. But anyway back to the point.
I am not disagreeing with either MT nor Jack but if people who buy 11 game home memberships make the effort to go to 11 games and we are struggling on field for as long as we are then their effort to get to away games will diminish. Unfortunantely success starvation may affect numbers as well as probability of winning and when you look at the opponent we were playing then that may be another factor as to why people stay away.
Personally I went on Saturday night. I have an 11 game home membership and could not afford at the time of renewal to get a 16 game membership which I would have got. Anyway rather than harking on about my money I still always go to away games as I did on Saturday night. I went with a mate who was a member and my sister who's no member and is only just starting to see the light with the yellow and black and we sat in Aisle 9 on the top level row B which is general admission and paid $36.05 for the priviledge for tix I purchased last Wednesday. There I go again about my moolah $36 for a ticket that normally is $20. Maybe its the principle of the thing to some fans who feel that why should they pay those sort of prices as an away supporter to see us get beaten by Geelong. Same as last year when we played Essendon (not the result of course) when tix prices were inflated for the away supporter. To me I would watch the Tigers anywhere and a 16 game membership will still have prevented me from sitting in the gen admission area top level in the first 8 or so rows, so inequities in the way clubs and the AFL distribute tix is why we have these issues. Hence our fans stay away also and generally most away fans do especially at the dome where capacity is only 53K and there is not the room there as there is at the G.

How would tv ratings effect the crowd from one sat night to the next. ::) ::) ::)
Well you're the one that brought up friday night games which are made for tv games and then tried to pin our lack of them on one Saturday night away game when in fact it's based on where a club finishes on the ladder the previous year. Pretty simple.
Good post HT74 :clapping. People don't like being ripped-off and with the Dome's limited capacity that's where it often happens.
-
Might add you are paying for a "" different product"" when you walk into the dome.
-
hellenic tiger you are a good sport taking your sister to the footy. i bet she appreciates that very much.

Is that Ian Collins and his mumbo jumbo of excuses for ripping people off speaking?! "Different product" ... oh please! :rollin. We're going to the footy FFS!
You get a plastic fold-down seat to watch the game, 80's elevator music pre-game, an annoying announcer who says "get ready tiger fans, give us a roar" that kills the natural atmosphere as the team runs out, plus food 3 times the price of outside ::). Yep I can't understand why we pay more at the Dome than the 'G. We're suckers!

You have no idea about Marketing do you :banghead
Last timed I looked the Dome had a roof on it.
The atompshere last sat week was the best thing I have been to in a long time.
You are able to eat in fantastic restaurants., you should try it one day, its fun you know. :lol
Might add the chips and pies are the same price as at the G. ::)

Why is this wacko thread still going? The answer was fairly obvious...a lot of members buy 11 game home memberships. People buy reserve seats and get to sit downstairs at home games, but are forced to sit up top or pay over the top for reserve seating for away games.
FWIW, I have an 18 game membership and I didn't go to either the Brissie game OR the Geelong game. I would go to any game I can, be it home or away, but I work Saturday nights so I didn't go. If I am lucky I'll see two more games this year.
Sometimes, people have more important things to do...deal with it.

richmond fans hate the tesltra dome, infact all club fans do.
It takes an hour to get in, and an hour to get out.
The club knows this and is trying to schedule as few games as possible at TD in the coming years.
Better onfield results will help us achieve our goals
The TD is ahole :chuck

Obviously you dont go there.
Telstra Dome is agreat place. Football undercover, not effected by weather conditions, sit on level 2 and you are sitting on top of the players.
Great restaurants.
Takes 2 minutes to get in if you have a ticket.
The bozos who go there without a ticket good luck.
Anyway, Blaisee, arent you a member??????? Walk straight if you are. your obviosly NOT

Yep I must have no idea about marketing because making the public watch grass grow for an hour or more before the start of a game is what they want lol. So is having Australian Idol contestants as the pre-game entertainment at the Grand Final :lol. A round of applause everyone for all those geniuses in AFL marketing :clapping.
And yep the overpriced food along with everything else is the same at both the Dome and 'G which was my point. The footy is the same game too :yep. The sarcasm went over your head ;).
I and most people go to the footy to watch the game with friends and family :thumbsup. And when I go to a restaurant for a meal I go to a proper one around town. Plenty of good eateries in and around Melbourne if you know where to look. We're spoiled for choice and variety actually :thumbsup.
It was the closeness and drama of the Brisbane game plus an 8 goal last quarter comeback that generated the atmosphere amongst the Tiger faithful. That's why we were going off. If we're getting flogged, we don't all go 'this is still fun Jack as there's a roof!' lol. The novelty has kind of worn off after 9 years Collo :wallywink.
The Dome has no atmosphere if the game isn't close as it's sterile with the roof closed. I might add the best atmospheres at the footy I have experienced have been at the open 'G and best of all I've never had to pay a booking fee or extra BS fees for the privilege :thumbsup. Each to their own.

Yep heaven forbid people rock up to the footy like they have been doing for the past 150 years :whistle. LOL blaming the public for the Dome's inefficient ticket system.
It's okay for me as I have my membership card but my Dad is a Port Adelaide member and I have friends who I go to the footy with together who barrack for the Blues, Pies and Lions. So come on 'Collo' how are they meant to buy a ticket to a Richmond game without buying one at the gate on the day or without incurring a booking fee from buying one earlier in the week at ticketmaster?! ::) This thread is really showing how out of touch you are with the average footy supporter :wallywink.
Footy is an outdoor sport and I prefer the arbitary weather conditions of outside. A test of a footballer's skill and footy brain week to week. The 'G is hardly a gluepot anymore either so the footy is just a high standard and the grandstands are covered. Some people are getting soft as they get older :lol.

TICKETMASTER! Print you tickets at home, walk straight into the dome.
Seeing you know where to find ebay, you should be able to find the TICKETMASTER site ::) ::) ::) ::) :whistle :whistle

:rollin :thumbsup oh crack me up this early in the morning EBAY ;D :thumbsup
getting in & out & parking we never had any problems & getting service for food & booze is great, :cheers shaking the snake into your pockets if you leave them open is not a problem also ;D l just dont agree on how the place was built & that we play home games there
-
Even better, park under the stadium, and the grab a lift to your seats. Dont even have to walk outside.
And people hate the dome. :banghead :banghead :banghead
Some people have no idea. ::) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Wake me up when Jack finishes his Powerpoint presentation :sleep :sleep :sleep :sleep
We get the point, Jack, you like the Dome.
Most others hate it, but we're really happy for you that you like it ::)

Sorry TM, I've missed your point on that one. Who do you mean?
-
Over priced food, the frustrating sardine shuffle to get to the station after the game and the Tigers terrible record there all help to make me prefer the 'G over the Dome. Though I did get to sit in the Medallion Club last year and that was a sensation experience in terms of viewing, eating, parking and general comfort so Jack if I sat there every week I would probably change my mind.
In terms of general atmosphere, access to the venue and what grounds suits our style of play - the 'G wins hands down! :moi
Stripes

Hate the dome, Love the G, but still go to both
To those that are like me and hate the dome, try Kardinia park, now that is a real hole.

Doing ok by all reports, hey!
I'm still very wary though - I won't be even partly comfortable until he sees the season out without a re-occurrence. Only then will I think he is a fair chance of coming back successfully. But good on him for getting this far - we certainly can't knock his efforts in trying. :thumbsup

Can't you read! Buying through Ticketmaster (even online) includes a booking fee ::). They even charge a booking fee on kids under 6 who are meant to get into the footy for free ::).
-
Big deal, you pay a booking fee ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::), hey, nothing is for free these days.
You take your own money out of an ATM and guess what, you get charged for it.
You catch a cab and before the car moves they slug you $3.50
You sell something on ebay and you get charged for it ;)
You buy grocercies on Coles Online and guess what, there is a fee.
Where on earth have you been living ????????
Do you think the world owes you something ? Guess what , it doesnt. :banghead :banghead :banghead
The days of handouts from the Goverment are over, unless your unemployable. :lol

Why are you mentioning EBAY ???. I never use it.
Yep Jack, the banks are the bastion of good corporate practice and customer service lol. Like raising interest rates independently of the Reserve Bank ::). I get a set number of free ATM withdrawals anyway.
I also go to the supermarket which is just a 5 minute walk from my place.
Call me a tightbehind lol but I'm no sucker for what is just corporate greed. It's like Telstra now including a third decimal place on their phone bills so they collect another few cents in rounding from everybody to bump up their profits. Clever and easy money for them as it's all done by computer but since when did money go to 3 decimal places.
It's your money Jack :lol.
