3121 membership in 2013

As a result of the huge success of the 3121 membership package since it’s 2011 inception, the Club has started selling the package on sale early for the 2013 season.   This will allow existing 3121 members the chance to confirm their spot for 2013, but will also allow those members already on the waiting list, the opportunity to secure a position.

“We have been lucky enough to secure a third room at the MCG, which has recently been renovated and this will allow us to grow the3121  package by another 150 spots in 2013”, said Ash Aidone, Richmond’s Premium Membership Sales Officer.

With the addition of a third room, current waiting list members are being contacted with the option to upgrade for 2013.

For those not familiar with the 3121 package, here is an outline of the benefits

* It is hosted by Dale Weightman who interviews an Assistant Coach and current Richmond players prior to each game and on occasions will also interview former players during the half time break
* Seating is on level 2 in bays N10 – N15 and rather than seats being assigned to members, bays are put aside, which allow 3121 members to bring guests and sit beside them to watch the game
* Three recently refurbished private rooms with private bars and a kitchen which prepares plated meals gives 3121 members the choice between sitting in the reserved seat section, or remaining in the comfort of any of the three rooms to watch the game live through the glass or on any one of the many tv screens throughout the rooms
* 3121 membership also incorporates Maurice Rioli Club membership which provides 3121 members with access to the Maurice Rioli Club, after all of Richmond’s MCG games
* A guaranteed ability to purchase a reserved seat to the Grand Final when Richmond participate
* Includes general admission access to all of Richmond’s away games played in Melbourne.


3121 membership for 2013 is $950 for adults, $720 for concession, $400 for juniors or $2,300 for families.  3121 membership can be paid on the committed tiger monthly payment plan over 11 months commencing on November 28th this year.

“The fact that we have secured the additional room will allow us to upgrade all of the members on the waiting list, with probably another 50 spots available once that is done”, said Ash Aidone.

Any member who would like to discuss 3121 membership for 2013 should call the club as soon as possible and they can secure their spot by paying up front or signing on to the committed tiger payment plan, with the first month payment to be deducted in November.

Any member (including current 3121 members) who confirms their 3121 membership for 2013, prior to Monday, September 24 will also go in the draw to win a double pass to the 2012 Grand Final, which includes reserved seating on Grand Final Day and a lunch function at the ME Bank Centre the day prior.

The Membership Department are available to take 3121 enquiries immediately and can be contacted during business hours on 1300 742 466.   Alternatively, Ashley can be emailed on aaidone@richmondfc.com.au where she can help with any questions or queries members or supporters may have.

Indian Tigers Supporter Group

This supporter group will provide you with an exciting introduction to the Richmond Tigers and the game of Australian Rules Football.  The Tigers’ home ground is the mighty MCG. As with cricket, it is a great place to watch elite-level football.
 
The Richmond Football Club is keen to build on its relationship with the Indian community.  As a result, the Club has formed the Indian Tigers Supporter Group. This supporter group will provide you with an exciting introduction to the Richmond Tigers and the game of Australian Rules Football.
 
Indian cricket great Rahul Dravid is delighted to be the patron of the Indian Tigers Support Group.
“Sport brings people together. I have seen that all over the world. It’s great that Richmond is connecting with the Indian community,” said the champion batsman, who visited the ME Bank Centre at Punt Road Oval on the eve of the 2011 Boxing Day Test.
 
“I like the idea of the Indian Tigers supporter group – it will give Indians another team and another sport to follow. I have watched some games on television – it is fast and very physical.  It would be great to see a game played in India one day.”
 
Indeed, Richmond does have aspirations to play an exhibition game in Mumbai in the near future. As part of this planned activity Richmond officials recently joined a Victorian State Government Trade Mission in India this month.
 We would like to offer you a free three-game Richmond membership for the 2013 season, as well as an automatic, free membership of the Indian Tigers Supporter Group.
 
Your free Indian Tiger Membership entitles you to:
·         Access to any 3 home games in Melbourne
·         Personalised 2013 membership card
·         A unique inner sanctum experience at the Club, before a game at the MCG
·         Personalised communication from the club


In 2012, the Richmond Football Club achieved a significant goal by signing over 53,000 members and breaking our all-time membership record.  We want to be even bigger and better in 2013, as we continue our quest for 75,000 members by 2014.
 
 
 
To join the Indian Tigers Supporter Group and become a member of the Richmond Football Club, fill in your details below and we will contact you shortly.

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/indian%20tigers%20supporter%20group/tabid/18648/default.aspx

Not quite smokey - this is package is especially designed for people interstate or those living in other parts of Qld that cannot get to home games

The m'ship I have with the Cowboys is called Distant Star and it gives me 2 tickets to an away game of my choice. So when the Cowboys play down here I get 2 tickets (includes a seat) at AAMI Park. I also get a fantastic membership pack that all members get that has cap, backpak, lanyard, key ring, Water Bottle, calendar & they top quality to (cap is from their apparel sponsor ISC)

On top of the package I bought they also have another one for $110 that on top of the away game tkts gives you 2 tickets to any home game if your are heading up to Townsville.

And for people who just can't get to games they have a simple membership for $29 that doesn't give you any game entry but gives you the m'ship pack I've listed above plus 10% discount off all merch and other "benefits"

As I said they seem to be catering for all categories of member  :thumbsup

Richmond great, Dale Weightman, is convinced the Tigers have the capacity to become the strongest club in the competition for membership numbers.

“If we get in (to the finals), and I know it’s going to happen, but if we become successful over a period of time, where we are playing finals consistently, don’t worry about Collingwood having 75,000 (members), we’ll blow them apart!

They sell it that way but it is absolutely useless for those who cannot get to games.

It gives you access to 3 games, standard member benefits (sticker, lanyard etc) and access to the Rewards & Recognition program. Not much use to those who cannot get to games

They used to have something a few years back but replaced it with the Tiger Insider.

Not good enough IMO.

Still disappointing that the Club continues to NOT offer a package for those who cannot get to any games  :banghead :banghead :banghead

And yes it is a massive bug bear of mine  ;D

By throwing the 3 game entry into the old 'on the bench' category means they can count them into the numbers.

The Roar rules
By Tony Greenberg
Thu 01 Nov, 2012


The mighty roar of the Tiger Army is as synonymous with Richmond as Yellow and Black, Punt Road Oval, and Jack Dyer.

When the Club commissioned the Gemba Group to conduct some research, leading up to the creation of the 2013 membership theme, Hardwick was approached and asked what it was like to coach the Tigers.

“The first thing that came to mind was the roar.  It’s deafening,” Hardwick told them.

“Over the last couple of years, it’s just become louder, and louder, and louder.”

The Roar is Back
richmondfc.com.au
Thu 01 Nov, 2012


“The Roar is Back” - Richmond’s membership theme for the 2013 season - was officially launched today.

After a record membership year for the Club in 2012, which saw the Tigers break through the 50,000 barrier for the first time in their history, the bar has been raised even higher.

Richmond is now targeting 60,000 members in 2013, with memberships officially going on sale today.

Just renewed my reserved seating on level 2 today. Also upgraded the fiancees membership to reserved level 2 as well.

Heads up to those who are wanting a reserved seat on level 2, I had to move from N8 to N9 to get 3 seats in a row. Membership department was helpful, but it appears there are just scattered seats left, well up until the renewal of mid-December (if people don't renew before the cutoff).  :thumbsup

The old social club membership. So if you have a MRC membership you just RSVP the Club prior to gameday and you then just rock up to the ME Bank Centre after the game. There are also guest passes. It also guarantees the holder a Grand Final reserved seat ticket if and when Richmond finally makes that last Saturday in September. The MRC will be at capacity in 2013 so the only way anyone will get in from then on is if someone else drops out.

Oh I see lol. It's the Social club room on the top floor of the ME Bank Centre. So virtually the whole upper floor. I'm guessing it would be able hold 500 people fairly comfortably.

Edited to correct quote

Understand that but they stripped out the other things you used to get with On the Bench. Eg a pen etc.

So the Club are basically asking people who cannot get to games to fork over $85 for a lanyard and sticker pack

Facts are there people who cannot attend games but want to be a member the club clearly doesn't cater for these folk

At least they've been playing finals the last few years  :thumbsup

Would have beaten Manly if not for 2 of the worse ref decisions of all time.

How can you support that stupid sport? :p

Easy = Enjoy the game

Enjoy a lot of different sports, with AFL being number 1 by a long long way  :cheers

Baseball season now = ABL tomorrow night Melb Aces. Got a great membership pack from them too. RFC should check it out  for ideas  ;D

I only follow footy and world cup soccer when the socceroos are in it otherwise it's all poo

The dorks membership dept sure do know how to inflate their numbers. 60k is all they can get and they're successfull ATM.

The bummers won't get more because of that fully ticketed thing

I doubt the blues will get 60k

They've never even got 50. They'll probably get 50 in 2013

Got a txt couple of days ago to say the mbrship packs would be arriving before xmas.
Then got a generic email yesterday stating that if any reserved seating had been changed they wouldn't be received until jan once they all be processed.

Pretty dissapointed, not at the club I understand there are processes in place and these things take. Time to sort out but had changed both my kids seats. So was looking fwd to seeing them rip open their packs on xmas day and show off to the rest of family and non tigers (outlaws) on the day.

Maybe now I have to spend more money in the tiger den?  :shh

My now 18yo nephew is now a Tiger Insider despite it being of absolutely no use to him at all. $85 for a lanyard & a sticker sheet + 3 games in Melb he cannot use (especially now he's about to join the army)

Hilarious the reasons given to me why the Club don't offer a better membership package for people who can not genuinely get to games  ::)

He is going to be doing an apprenticeship as well smokey, heavy duty mechanic. Will do his basic training at Wagga and then will be posted somewhere for his apprenticeship, not sure where that will be.

He was going to join last year when he turned 17 did the exam, passed easily but decided to put it off for 12 months so he could finish school

They are coming down for Xmas so I'm expecting more details then

Fair enough, he's made a good choice - I hope the lifestyle is for him.  When I was in, the vehicle/engineering apprenticeships were mainly done at Bonegilla near Wodonga but I'm not sure nowadays.  12 weeks at Kapooka - he will remember that for the rest of his life regardless!!   ;D

I keep telling him that those first 12 weeks will make or break him  ;D The early starts are one thing but the locks getting cropped are what I am really looking forward, I keep joking with him that if he survives that he'll have a very long army career.  :rollin :rollin

As for Bonegilla - that would be a great fit for him as his Grandfather lives in Albury along with alot of my family. He said something about the parrencticeship possibly being somewhere in Victoria.

I suppose it depends on how and what is recorded as revenue in the respective balance sheets, and what definition of member has been used for each club.  As WP points out, different clubs record similar items different ways so unless these figures have been adjusted to accurately compare apples to apples then they are really quite useless, even misinforming.

has nothing to do with success our home ground is the MCG people don't need to have a reserve seat

Our membership revenue would be down because I reckon you will fine that we haven't been making a big margin om reserve seat sales. think they've addressed that for 2013 with the increase in the prices for seats on level 2

Our figure in the table doesn't come from our annual report but from the figure Gary March quoted in an article on the RFC website. According to RFCO that figure is our net membership revenue.

No it doesn't only membership item that is listed on the expense side

Total m'ship expense = $1,803,847 increase of only $60k on 2011

I cannot understand why hawthorn is so far ahead of us ,and ahead of carlton and Essendon for that matter.Sure they have had huge success over the last 20 odd years ,but i always thought we had them covered for supporters.Other than the dogs and cats story is there a reason why they seem to be doing so well in the membership stakes?

Bandwagoners

If we won a flag we'll get 80,000 members. They haven't and won't. 60-65k is max for them. If we're in the 8 next year we'll get more than them. There's a pooload more Richmond supporters than Hawthorn supporters. They're a medium sized club riding the success wave. Richmond is a huge club that will explode if successfull.

They have also had a sustained period of success for 30 odd years.  Now their support is generational like ours so it's only natural they have a bigger support base than they used to.  Passion on the other hand, is a different story.

I reckon it's got a lot to do with peeweak supporter parents of other clubs.

I don't know how many times ive seen young kids barrack for the hawks and the parents support another team.

For me it was ...
.... I'm into the footy and passionate, you want to marry me i have one request....you support the tigers. We have kids & they support the tigers no matter what.
If you don't like it get out of my house!   
....quite simple really.

With the kids they've complained alittle over the years, at times might have been alittle ashamed to be seen in the yellow and black but now they are all very passionate tiger members and very excited about the future.

Ever since '83 the hawks have reaped the fruits of success and benefiting from parents that allowed their children to support them. That's a whole generation of support due to peeweak supporter parents of other teams. That generation are now members of the hawks and so are their kids.
In my opinion, those parents that have allowed this type of nonsense to occur from their children is un-Victorian. And that opinion counts double for Richmond supporters! :gotigers

Collingwood's target is 75k while Hawthorn's is 65k. The Eagles are limited by the size of Subiaco and their tally will include those on their waiting list. Mid-high 50k was their tally last year.

In terms of support absolutely, reckon we have every bit as many supporters as them, major sponsorship, not even close, in the bottom echelon of clubs historically when it comes to corporate dollars. I know 2012 was a record for us so well done to the club, would love to know how we compare to the rest of the comp in that regard. but still think its pretty low compared to hawks and other mid tier clubs

I agree we are behind the Pies, Hawks, Bombers and probably the Blues who have the biggest deals but would think now we are on par with "mid tier" clubs and ahead of the lower clubs eg Melb, Port, Saints (they only have one major been trying for 2 for a few seasons now)

Well the Pies reportedly get about $3-4mil a year from Emirates and $2-3 mil a year from CGU for sharing the jumper and shorts

While the Bulldogs reportedly get about $2-2.5mil a year from Mission and that's for the front & back of their Jumper and shorts.

I reckon we get more than the Dogs but are obviously behind the Pies.

So to answer your question I reckon as a started it would be worth at least another $2mil a year

This statistic is pretty irrelevant these days because all it shows is that more people are going onto automatic renewal or that people are renewing earlier. The proper stat that would show the real situation is the one that shows how many "New" people have come onto the membership list from last year, that is people who weren't members but have become new members.

Post by: Smokey on December 18, 2012, 06:47:22 PM
My membership arrived in the mail today and I want to share the story behind it.  About 8 weeks ago I got a call from someone at RFC Membership asking about a comment I put in a member survey earlier in the season.  My comment (which I had also put in a couple of other member surveys in previous years) was that I believed we should recognize total years as a member, not just consecutive.  Many people (and I was one so there's the Capt Obvious why) might have circumstances beyond their control that prevents them from joining for a season at some point but with the consecutive aspect of the Rewards and Recognition program then any previous years were 'wiped' and you started back at zero.  I have posted about my opinion of this a couple of times on here so its probably not news to many.

Anyhow, the club official talked at length with me about my comment, my reasons etc etc, and then explained why the club has the policy it has, what discussions have occurred about it in the past, and that they were looking at all aspects of the R & R program.  All up we chatted for a good 10 to 15 minutes and at the end he thanked me for my time and support and that was that.  Fast forward to today and I got my membership pack in the mail and bugger me, if they haven't added back my previous years which took me back to being a Gold member, rather than Bronze turning Silver.  It would appear that this is a change in club policy as it has also happened with one of my son's - he had a similar but unrelated circumstance and his previous couple of years have been reinstated also.  So I just want to put it on the public record how impressed I am with this whole scenario - not as much the fact that I got an outcome that I wanted, but more the lengths the club went to to communicate with me personally on a very direct level and then make changes based on listening to the members.  I'm not taking credit as I'm confident many must have said the same thing for the club to reconsider it but the fact it happened and I can attest to the process makes me even more satisfied with the off field performance and direction of this great club.

Yeah, don't know what, if any, criteria they applied.  My guess is that they went back to around 2000 because I had a 1 year break about 5 years ago and they have reinstated me to 11 years.  I was a member off and on prior to 2000 but the 11 year figure fits with my last 2 'prolonged' periods of membership.  If it was 'all the way back' then I reckon I would sit around the 20 year mark but I get that record keeping is what it is in the modern computer-assisted age and the 11 year mark in my particular circumstance seemed to fit exactly into a particular circumstance of mine.  I want to stress again that I don't believe I was shown a 'favour' because the phone conversation I had was very generalized with no angst or plea bargaining on my part, and when I saw my son's membership details it was obvious that the club had applied some sort of ruling across the board - it wasn't about me personally.

Great news smoke  :thumbsup well done
Got my pack yesterday
Just wanted to commend the club on something also...
They said that if reserved seats were being changed then Those packs would not be sent out till january, with an option of getting a certificate of purchase.
Personally if it was for me I wouldn't bother, but it was for my kids so I emailed Emily Moody who got back to me like a flash of lightning. Within a couple of days the certs were  waiting in the letterbox.

The rolling eyes from my other half showed what non tigers think but to us means a great deal.
Its always great when the elder one says when are we going to tigee land daddy?, reffering to punt rd oval.

The most surprising thing to happen to say the least? The kids membership packs arrivedtoday In the mail!!!
 :gotigers

The toddler has cotchy on his yellow and my eldest has
Morris on her bronze
Thanks RFC for the clerly tremendous effort you have put in!!!

Go u tigers!!

Ditto

I re-sgined for Inner Sanctum and sorted out all the normal membership stuff before they actually went on sale

So TBH I am not expecting the "Inner Sanctum" Coterie stuff

But certainly expecting the "ordinary" membership stuff to turn up as per the Club's TXT

And I don't want to hear about problems with the mailhouse. That was last years excuse

Just got this e mail from Ash (emailed them about my package not arriving yet)

Quote
Definitely should have arrived by now, so I am going to have to assume something has happened to it in the post on the way to your address from the mailing house. What I will do, I will run over a new card and pack to the post (it’s about to go) and send it in an express post bag.
 
Just in case you receives two packs, please throw out the card that receives in a WHITE plastic post bag, and the one that arrives in the EXPRESS bag is the correct card.
 
You should receive it tomorrow, if not Saturday post is also going.

Can I say that it isn't the fact that the stuff hasn't come that gets me annoyed it is the fact that Club (I would argue stupidly) sends out TXT & email messages "guaranteeing" delivery before Xmas and then they don't "deliver" (pardon the pun). It isn't a great look, amatuerish to be honest especially when they blame "problems with the mailhouse etc" again.

Would rather they not guarantee and just do

Title: AFL club membership costs reach new heights .... (Herald-Sun)
Post by: one-eyed on January 10, 2013, 06:05:14 AM
AFL club membership costs reach new heights

    Andrew Wiles, Tom Baldock
    From: Herald Sun
    January 10, 2013


FOOTY fans are being forced to dig deeper to face rising membership costs for 2013.

All but two of the AFL's Victorian clubs have raised the cost of family membership packages for the 2013 season.

Carlton fans face the most financial pain as their family package has increased by 6 per cent since last year - up $23 to $400.

Many young Western Bulldogs members are also being hit with a 30 per cent fee increase.

The club has streamlined two junior packages - previously costing $50 and $95 - into one $65 package.

Western Bulldogs cheer squad member Steve Smith and his two children have renewed their club memberships for 2013, but he says it is becoming too expensive.

"Everything at the footy costs so much now, with the cost of travel, food and membership, I expect that some families will say 'we'll stop going'," he said.

"Last season my brother didn't renew his membership. He's got young kids and couldn't make every game, so he was worried that he wasn't getting value for his money."

Melbourne family memberships have been raised $20 for the third consecutive season, now costing $425.

Melbourne spokesman Ryan Larkin said the price rise was in line with increases across other packages.

"Our annual pricing decisions are based on the economic times, the market and the needs of our members and the club," he said.

The family memberships of Collingwood, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs have also all increased by $10 or more.

Geelong family package increases only went up by $6, but will still cost $398.

Geelong spokesman Kevin Diggerson put this down to rising AFL service costs. "The increases are reflective of increasing costs across the membership and ticketing business of the AFL," he said.

St Kilda family memberships have been reduced by $7, now costing $388 for the season.

The Saints were the only Victorian club to reduce any general membership fees.

And Essendon's basic memberships have stayed the same for 2013, with their family package being frozen at $545. But they remain the most expensive Victorian club as they include reserved seating in basic packages.

(http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2013/01/09/1226550/739810-afl-membership-2.jpg)

Note: All memberships include card. Most 11-game memberships admit to home games and include voting rights (over 18s) and priority access to weeks 1-3 finals tickets. A family includes two adults and two children (except Hathorn, Melbourne, Richmond which allow up to four children). Juniors must be under 15 at January 1, 2013. Unless reserved seats are purchased game entry is subject to capacity. Finals ticket access/priority is if your team competes. Some membership package items, eg magazines, one per household. Clubs also offer invitations to functions and family days.

Enlighten me then Mrakov. What was the impetus that spurred you on to make such an outlandish comment?

Our memberships are cheaper than others. Our membership revenue is lower. We need more money

Im with Mrakov, although $500 is a bit high. If the club can hit us up with a finals campaign then a GF in the coming years would be happy to pay whatever is required as will a lot of people. They will come in big numbers if we make the 8

I understand that we need more money but your brute force approach of increasing membership fees by such a huge margin would only end up discouraging many from renewing and therefore offset any new memberships.

We had 26,284 at the same time last year. So yep we've about 4,700 ahead. Add that on to the 53k we ended up with last year and we'll reach 58k at least. Hopefully as the season approaches and fingers crossed with a good start to the season, it'll bump up the membership to 60k+.

The AFL audits the figures. That's why in the past there was a discrepancy between the Club's tally which included both match access and non-match access memberships and the AFL's official figure which only included match access memberships and in some years was 7000 less than the Club's figure.

No, does seem a bit slower. Maybe we were anticipating them to jump on board quickly this year and got carried away.
Maybe that dodgy mailhouse from 2011 has become a new call centre for memberships and the calls taken are signing our members for the Bombay Tigers hackysack team instead  :shh

Averaging over 200 per day.  That rate would have us around 46k by the first game.  With the family day and the normal pre-season rush to come it's looking good for passing last year without much effort.  Throw in a win against the cheats and 60k should be within reach.

Seriously if we do get a few wins in a row on board early, the AFL won't know what has hit it :yep. I've mentioned before that the AFL sees Richmond as its biggest growth asset outside of the two new clubs. They told the RFC that in 2011. We're a potential cash cow for the AFL. It's now up to the footy dept. to finally start delivering on the investment put into the Club so it all comes together.

Some whinger on the RFC Facebook said Aussie Post lost 500 memberships that were sent prior to Christmas. Is there any truth in this? I renewed on the 14th of December and the cut off date for pre-Christmas arrival was the 13th so I know I wasn't eligible (didn't even receive a confirmation email until the 19th of December), but ours haven't arrived yet and wondering if I should chase it up? I assumed it would be a little delayed do to changing membership package and signing up the missus.

Interstate membership race is on
richmondfc.com.au
Monday, January 21, 2013



Richmond is challenging non-Victorian states to show their yellow and black passion, by launching an interstate membership race.

The Club is holding a competition for the first state to reach 2000 Richmond members. Prizes include flights and accommodation to the Tigers’ Round 21 match at the MCG.

To enter the interstate membership race, simply join or renew your Richmond membership for 2013.

Last year, Western Australia and New South Wales led the charge for interstate members, with 1713 and 1706 respectively, closely followed Tasmania (1672), Queensland (1616), South Australia (1580) and Northern Territory (837).

Interstate residents that have already signed as a Richmond member for 2013, have automatically been entered into the competition, however, for a greater chance to win, refer a Tiger fan to become a member. Click here to refer a member (http://membership.richmondfc.com.au/refer-a-tiger-fan.html).

Richmond has specific memberships for interstate residents, as well as Richmond Supporter Groups in most states.

For more information on 2013 membership packages, go to the Club’s membership website (http://membership.richmondfc.com.au/) or call the membership team on 1300 742 466.

Competition prizes:

1st prize – Flights, accommodation and match day benefits to Richmond’s Round 21 clash against Carlton, at the MCG, on Saturday, August 17
2nd prize – Richmond guernsey signed by the 2013 playing group
3rd prize – Brett Deledio signed and framed photo.

You can nominate a state if you're an international member.  I nominated Tassie, though I live in the US.

The Club was the one that promised/guaranteed (again) if you signed up before a certain date then your membership would be delivered before Xmas. They failed (again) to meet that guarantee. Don't promise something you cannot deliver

Renewed my memberships the day we were able to, and mine just arrived yesterday as well. I don't have any children so it's not a big deal for myself, but I can understand the frustration for those that do. It is a little disappointing when they guarantee you'll get something and they turn up a month later.

Makes no difference if these are just renewals - what really counts is how many of these extras are new members because if theres say only 1000 new members of the 6000 then we aren't making the inroads necessary to get to 60,000 members.

Club needs to find ways to increase revenues from membership by value adding. You cant exponentially just increase member numbers year after year. There comes a point where you reach the maximum and then you cant grow the membership numbers anymore - what happens then? Clubs done a good job but they need to do more on 1) maximising members 2) maximising membership revenue 3) creating outside sources of income.

We send the supporters to the bedroom and tell them to close their eyes and think of Mother England.  9 months later problem solved.

Thanks but I forgot to add  that

Point 3 is the most important point for me. RFC needs to start building income sources from outside the club that can be built on over time. I dont care what it is but the club should invest in a business and try and grow it over time. What they invest in is up to them of course. Plenty of opportunities all over the place and with the number of members and supporters over Australia Im sure we'd all do our bit to make it a success.

Perhaps your on line shop can be resurrected with Tiger merchandise ?
It is a good point and ultimately when you rely so heavily on one source of income for incremental revenue you end up squeezing that orange to the point where you end up with the pip.
I've always thought we could better utilise Punt Rd, particularly on big matches - Richmond and Non Richmond games.
Prime space, close to the G - pre and post game, great car park access, next to the trains.
Most importantly - it's unique, no other club can do it so it would be protected income.
Captive footy audience and it has the 3 most important rules for retail - location, location, location!

Ramps is correct in saying we need multiple external revenue sources, the same goes for any business, but the club's challenge is to identify the correct ones.  We already have the Wantirna Club and formerly the Royal Oak and have had mixed success with those.  Similarly, other clubs have had various business interests with varying degrees of success, or in Collingwood's case spectacular failure.  While we can't afford not to have these revenue sources, more importantly we can't afford to get them wrong.

Any potential business will need to have all relevant and necessary research done prior to purchase/setup and then be as self-supporting as possible, both in ongoing financial investment and staffing.  The work required to research and setup/purchase/structure a viable and robust business that will generate the type of income we need it to is no small task and the last thing the club can afford is to redirect the daily efforts of it's current personnel on those tasks.  We have a fair degree of financial stability off field now and are currently diverting a large percentage of our resources to improvements in our football department.  Once we have stabilised the on field situation and have a foundation for a sustained period of success in place then I think the next focus can be on extraneous business interests but not before.  Small, planned, methodical steps following the path of longer term pre-defined goals is how we have got back to where we are and how we should continue forward.  When we have the 'surplus' money to invest in the time, effort and extra personnel to do the research and get the setup and/or acquisition right then we should concentrate hard on that but we aren't quite there yet.  We could certainly do some preliminary work now to identify possible opportunities or structure some boundaries that the club is happy to operate and invest within but not to the detriment of our current efforts and position.

And I agree with Y&B that we have one of the best locations and well known pieces of real estate in inner Melbourne - we should develop and use that asset to it's full potential.

I agree it's a unique asset and we need to be more creative about building a source of revenue from Punt Road.
There is unfortunately a problem with capitalising on Punt Road for games at the G - I believe that traders at the G have an exclusive right in their contracts with the MCG trust and the AFL.
We are not allowed to set up an operation that may take turnover away from the commercial interests (food vendors, merchandisers etc) that supply MCG/AFL crowds.
Of course we should be able to use our facilities with our own members but I think that's the limit.
IIRC this issue was raised a few years ago and the limits were pointed out to the club however it's probably worth having another shot.

They've got no supporters we'll get more if we come 9th after being in the 8 all year and they win the flag :P

They've hit their ceiling in regards to membership. We're still at the bottom of ours. IMO we'll pass them in 2014 and never sell less memberships than them again.

But how many of those do you think are new members? For example, this is the first time I've ever renewed before Christmas. Don't want to be a doubter though and am confident we're ahead on new members, but just how many of those 6k+ are new? Last year I was hoping to be 40k by round one and we fell just short. Looks like we'll be well and truly there this year though  :thumbsup

Can't wait for even the nob cup to start so there is something more interesting than membership tallies :banghead

Only 2000 now behind the beleaguered Bombers. I wouldn't be surprised if we are ahead of them by the end of the month and jump into the top 4 for memberships once again.

GWS are doing really well for a new club. Interesting if the success of the Wanderers is helping to promote the Western Sydney brand up there.

ACT members make up 3000 of the total membership (Sheedy or their CEO mentioned this in the last week or so). The growth has been mostly from within Sydney it seems. The Giants are now double the figure they had at this time last year. The Swans btw are 10k ahead so perhaps them winning the flag has helped attract more interest up there as well.

A few hundred I would've thought (from memory). The ability to renew online these days as well as rollover memberships means it's not as many as people would think. Not so long ago heaps of supporters would wait until the Family Day to renew but online renewal has changed this I've heard.

Doesnt their membership include a reserve seat? I suppose most of us hand over $100 bucks a year for the Tiger Fund on top of membership, so Its hard to tell how to measure it all.

I predict that after we smash the cheating scum round 1 and both the saints & bulldogs, by the time we play the filth round 4 we will have the second highest membership in the AFL.


Just do it Tigers!

Yep it does Ramps.

As for us, from memory our membership revenue last year of $7,600,000 divided by 53,000 equates to around $143 per membership. So if we reach our target of 60k this year then the additional 7000 members will generate around $1m in extra membership revenue.

and the expected drop in Essendon's membership will bring a similar fall in revenue.

So they are up around 3000 and we're up 7,300 on this time last year. It's likely we'll jump ahead of them by as early as tomorrow or Thursday.

If I remember correctly, Essendank's membership numbers plateau'd at about this same point last year and it was because they actually ran out of game memberships due to the reserved seat factor.  We passed them just before the season opened and this year will probably do it a bit earlier.

Beat the pies and well easily have 65000 members this year.

If we lose to the cheats then we won't make 60000 this year.

You may be right but it also depends on the loss.
A loss like 2009 and kiss it goodbye but a loss in a tight game and whilst there will be heartache being the scum we lost to all will not be lost.

A win though is absolutely imperative regardless.
Win at all costs Tigers.

While losing close games last year was annoying, it at least showed we have now become competitive each and every week. Something that wasn't the case for a long long time before 2012. With that new competitiveness and then adding more depth to our playing stocks this year, it says to those thinking about buying memberships that you will finally get your monies worth hopping aboard the Tiggy train. Add to that the success of the FTF which showed if all us Tiger supporters pulled together and contributed financially to the Club no matter how big or small then collectively we can make a difference. The positive change off-field is obvious with the new elite facilities etc and now we wait for the final piece of the puzzle to come together onfield which we all hope begins this season. Once that kicks in then the rest of the comp. won't know what hit it. The momentum building up will be unstoppable.

They have some seriously wealthy backers and it wouldnt be surprising if 1 or 2 or 3 of them have all purchased 3000-4000 memberships each to lift the figures. They were losing touch with the big clubs they had to do something to catch up.  ;)

hey scum. FO
They've already got Kernahan doing radio ads saying they want to move their home games to the 'G and they can only do that if the Blues reach 50k members. I've heard their current Docklands contract runs out next year and Carlton want to go from a 7-4 Docklands/MCG split to a 7-4 MCG/Docklands split. That would mean other Vic clubs will have to make up the shortfall to satisfy the AFL's contract of some many games (I think 44?) at Docklands.

Post by: Hellenic Tiger on March 18, 2013, 09:34:21 PM
I have a mate who supports the Dawks and he has been whinging all Summer that with their Tassie agreement they still have to play one home game at Docklands this season. ;D

If we can make finals this year and perform well in them, it means higher membership next year, more Friday night games hopefully home ones and thus making the AFL have a long hard look at our fixture and maximising our exposure at the G generating more $$$$ for us and the AFL. :thumbsup

20/03/2013 - 42,604
28/03/2013 - 45,011

then we'll add roughly 2,500 members from now up to round 1. So the 52k figure you've mentioned WP is very achievable.

Even if we beat Carlton  :pray, we would need to back it up the following weeks against the Saints and Dogs to get the bandwagon truly in gear.

That's how Hawthorn have done it by gypsying Richmond areas while we have been down for 30 odd years.

essendon have reserve seats but our supporters raised 6 million bucks and are continuing to put in $100 a year extra on top of membership for the Tiger Fund. On top of that we also sell reserve seats. So whilst they do have an advantage our club has been able to minimise the difference via those 2 aspects.

Six million debt was a kind of one off that the fans paid.
If we have not made finals by 2016 you reckon fans will be dipping into the FTF?
We need to make it count now and make finals soon....
At the same time we Tiger fans are a hardy lot. Would like to see how the Bummers fans would react to a lean quarter of a century and how their membership and finances cope. :shh

Post by: one-eyed on March 29, 2013, 11:23:58 PM
It was made up  ;) :yep.

There'll be a slight jump after Easter as some of our supporters traditionally wait until round 1 to rejoin. In fact some will even wait until our first home game. No way will we get a 6000 jump in a few days on the back of a narrow round 1 win. Beat the Saints, Dogs and the Pies in front of 90k at the 'G to go 4-zip and then the membership bandwagon may kick in with finals on offer. Even then it still won't cause a 6000 (ie. 12%) spike in membership by the Monday after the game.

Any latest thoughts here gents?
Higher or lower than your original estimates?

Any latest thoughts fellas?
R1 win and up to 51k prior to that victory.
Will we get more than 4k in new members or will the Tiger Army keep their wallets in their back pocket?

Why?
If its the work required to get it to AFL standard, the surface should be fine, if its the grandstands and facilities - they build around grounds all the time and continue to play sport.
If its actual games being played there, unless the AFL want us to move training - what's the difference? They are only planning 8 games so we should be able train when we want and how we want.

Of course if any of the above areas are compromised, it is an issue as we should have an iron clad agreement to train there   :thumbsup

We're still 6000 ahead of this time last year. So 60k is still achievable. Membership growth slowed significantly last year after our round 1 loss. It won't this year now we've finally won a round 1 game.

First official home game of the season next weekend (albeit at Eithad) followed by the first home game at the 'G  against the Pies. So those that leave rejoining up until the first home game will be signing up over the next week or two. Win both those games and the bandwagon will be unstoppable. The lid will be well and truly off.

You'd think the Malthouse/Buckley factor would push it close to 90k but no.

The cuzz v judas game pulled 88k. I put it down to Blooze fans not attending. Looked to be about 55,000 Collingwood supporters.

R20 Fri 21 July 2000 Carlton v Essendon 91571

And that was the only one I could find - all the rest were public holiday games or finals.

And for all the War Machine's gobbing off about Big 4 clubs, we hold the 2nd highest attendance ever for an ANZAC Day crowd - 92436 in 1977 v Collingwood, way before it got the AFL support and promotion as a marquee game.  Only crowd bigger was Essendon v Collingwood - 94825 in 1995.

Boys just need to keep focused on winning the 4 points this week.
The additional memberships will come,  remember people that will join may have been members in the past there's always bandwagon supporters for every club. But I think we have plenty that won't spend the money until they see we will be competitive.

On field actions speak the loudest

But in saying that if you have not signed up already... What's your excuse??

Like it or not they do, they sell alot for those 3 game memberships.

Plus they sell a fair few 16 or in their case 17 game memberships because they offer something that I reckon is a great idea and that's reserved seats for away games. Hence, their members have the same reserved at the MCG for every game. Extremely popular!!

Been saying it for yonks RFC should look at doing it too

Is there a reason we don't have reserved seats for Away games at the G? Is this a question for RFCO?

I have asked so many times. Been told that it's too cost inhibited for a couple of reasons

1/ with the amount of work involved because we would not be able to have the same reserve seats for MCG away games as we do for home games.

2/ Club not sure they'd be able to sell them all as they would need to buy a block

Now before anyone asks "why" regarding point 1. Just go back to Mr Tigra's complaints about the Saints cheersquad and members having the Punt Road end last week when the MCG is our home. That's why other clubs outside the Pies use the Punt Road end for their home games.

As for point 2 - easy way for the Club to do it is to organise a block of say 2000 seats in say the Ponsford stand and then offer them in a first in first served basis and see how quickly they go. Actually for those with 3121 or other Coterie m'ships just included it as an option and I reckon they will be gone in a flash

Surely, instead of worrying if the block they purchase will be able to be sold, send out an email and get expressions of interest from members. If they get 5000 replies saying "Yes, we are interested." then they'll know it is feasible and can proceed?

Though we need one of them to be available to clean up Frodo a week later.  :shh According to a few Pies fans Pendles may be struggling to get up for this game. Also they have a 5 day break after our game for the ANZAC clash which they'll want him fresh for.

I don't get this excuse of them having 5 day break after our game. They should be going to win both and although I reckon they will beat us, you can't give any team fighting for the 8 a sniff. Why lose one to win another?

50k members or not daniel they will still have their 4 homes games at the MCG (-v- Us, Pies, Dons & Hawks), 50k members means they can get 7-8 at the MCG not 4. their current deal is 4 homes games at the MCG and 7 at Etihad they want to flip that around

We had 51k at round 1, has slowed a little but averaging about 1k per week since then.
Would think 58900-61323 is the range by August - we will have 3 game memberships available until August to keep the bandwagon ers honest.

the 2 biggest clubs in the land with the biggest increases.

the hawks will stagnate, the injectors are riding on a high, and the blooze
just cant cut it as a big club even with little Hitler joining them.

the usual suspects like Nought, Tankers, 1 flag Saints and such will never
have huge members, so the Gestapo need us and needs us bad.

Since Hawthorn came to power with their 1971 Grand Final win, in the next 41 years to 2012 they have only missed the finals 15 times, with their longest stretch of 'outs' being 5 years from '02 to '06.  In the same period Collingwood have missed 17 times with their longest stretch of 6 'outs' from '95 to '01.  In that time Hawthorn have won 9 flags and finished runner up 5 times.  On those figures alone it's not hard to see how their supporter base could have and would have built up with such a long period of sustained success.  They had powerful sides with charismatic figures (Hudson, Matthews, Knights, Brereton, Dunstall, Platten, just to name a few) and sheer weight of successful results would have proven irresistible to many young kids over time.  I still think they fudged their figures early on when they miraculously 'doubled' their membership in the very same year that the AFL was using it as a basis of calculating compensation for losing Waverley as their home ground but I don't doubt that today's figures are genuine.  Whether their supporter base is as passionate as ours is another matter entirely because ours has stuck and grown through a couple of embarrassingly long periods of failure ('48 to '66 and '83 to today) whereas Hawthorn were perennial easybeats for the first half of their club history, taking 52 years from 1925 before playing in their first finals match in 1957 and only making 3 finals series (1 flag) prior to 1971.  Our support is genuine, hardened and proven while their hardiness and ability to stick the tough times is unproven.  And while we have a very large latent support base that has yet to fully come back out of the woodwork, I believe the support we see from Hawthorn is all they've got.

smokey, i just find it interesting that their huge membership never seems to translate into crowd figures. In the blockbuster games you will always see large gaps in their members section. Over the years at various times you go to big blockbuster games involving us, carlton, coll and ess now and then you will concede they have more fans, louder roar etc, I cannot recall once ever going to a haw richmond game and thinking "poo they have a big contingent".

Also about the success, absolutely they have been stunning in the past 40 years, but prior to that they were the worst side in the comp, they would have been coming off a tiny base from the previous 40 years of nothing. I also look at noughts success in the 70's and again in the 90's with arguably the greatest player of all time at their helm taking them to 8 prelims in a row and that has done sweet f all for their base. I think a large portion of the fans from the old power clubs have a strong success rate in keeping their kids following in the tradition so whilst the hawks have had a stunning run of success I dont think that would equate to this large a membership base. ill concede I have no facts to back me up and i may be wrong - just find it hard to believe  :thumbsup

I wonder with Hawthorn if they count people who may hold multiple memberships as single memberhip holders times by the number they hold

What I mean is this:

I have a total of 5 RFC memberships but I am only counted as 1 member

Wonder if Hawthorn would count me as 5 members?  :-\

I'm with you TM in that I don't have any facts to back it up, just that I'm not surprised by their figures and I believe they are genuine.  Re: their crowd figures compared to ours - I think that is a direct consequence of their lack of success in their first 50 years.  While the Collingwoods, Richmonds, Essendons and Carltons were winning flags and building huge partisan support for the communal rivalries, Hawthorn was a redundant force that could build no support base because of location and years of failure.  Translate that to nowadays and I think the reason you see big crowds at our games is that we (like Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton) have a much larger supporter base and on game day between the 'big' clubs this latent supporter base kicks in - those that are just as passionate supporting their club but haven't yet stumped up for a membership.  Of the 'big' clubs, only Collingwood (for whatever reason) has been able to translate a big chunk of that support into memberships.  Hawthorn, like Collingwood, have been very good at translating support into memberships but the difference between them and the rest is that they don't have this large supporter base behind them and what you see is what you get - an overly strong representation of members vs 'walk-ups' on game day and hence the smaller crowds.

And comparing Hawthorn to North Melbourne using 1971 as the same starting point, North have missed the finals 19 times in 41 years (a fair effort and you would say successful by most measures) but they have only managed to translate that success into 4 flags and 4 runners up, a long way short of the dominance and success of Hawthorn.  On top of that, North were coming from even further back than Hawthorn as far as lack of early success goes as they had only played in 1 Grand Final (losing in 1950) in their history prior to their first win 1975.  Hawthorn on the other hand had played in 3 and by winning their first in 1961 they had a 14 year jump (and 2 flags on North by 1975) when it comes to picking up new supporters based on flag success.

I think the last piece of the puzzle that helps explain Hawthorn's 'abnormal' membership figures is that the club was jolted by reality and galvanised itself into action when faced with the merger with Melbourne and they had a champion for their cause in Don Scott who rallied their club for survival.  I remember at the time that Hawthorn and it's supporters very quickly stood up and grew from that experience and I think that was another major difference between them and North because when a similar thing happened to North there was more just a financial restructure that saved their existence rather than any lasting or galvanising impact to get their supporters 'on board'.  Added to that, since 1996 North have had controversy and conjecture both within and outside the club.  They attempted a failed merger with Fitzroy in 1996, they tried to become the 2nd Sydney team in 1999 and changed their name to the Kangaroos in the process, in 2002 Wayne Carey split the club apart, in 2005/6 they played home games at the Gold Coast but eventually rejected the offer of a permanent move and to this day they continue to court Ballarat and Tasmania as second homes.  All this instability would have had a significant negative impact on the chances of them solidifying and growing a supporter base to compete with the bigger clubs, and it's no surprise to me that they haven't shown the same improvement in support or memberships than Hawthorn.

If you want to describe them as faeces they are the crusty dog turds that have turned white on the nature strip three weeks after expulsion. In fact the crusty dog turd has more value.
Useless characterless, absolutely nothing. Waste of space.
Out they come out they come

No character no money

The more dawks supporters I meet confirms the suspicions I've had for some time...

They have the most turncoat, disloyal supporters in the VFL/AFL.

In my opinion their success in the eighties has created a generation of support to the detriment of clubs such as Richmond.

The dawks really didn't have a big supporter base that we see now. This was a result of their success in both day and night grand finals which caught the imagination of many many youngsters.
Now in my household I didn't give my kids a choice who they wanted to barrack for, but obviously there are many softie limp wristed parents out there who allowed their kids to choose another team.
If you don't beleive this to be true just ask every Whorethorn supporter what his first team was or what jumper his parents bought him when he was a baby! You'll find I'm spot on with this.
In my understanding most of them just went with team on the top at the time and during the eighties the dawks were there most of the time.
Really as much as I scoff at them for being the traitors, defectors, deserters, apostates and jumper swappers, I don't really blame them as much as I blame their pussy parents for allowing it.
In this city it's sacrilege. :banghead

In all seriousness I had us 2-4 at this stage and hoping that we didn't lose to the Saints and be 1-5 (seems last year was so close) At 2-4 I still had us making finals pretty comfortably. So 3-3 is ahead of the curve IMO but we need to win the next 2.

We have a home game at Dreamtime, one against Carlton time to market these two games and include them as part of a 3 game membership. Maybe the reverse fixture against the Dockers too.

I reckon package up Melbourne, Saints and Lions. Call it the undefeated package and watch us kick the poo out of 3 cellar dwellers.  :shh

It's Nought spelt in the way meaning zero.
Zero fans, zero finance zero character zero money zero permanent home zero respect zero spine zero everything.
Norf is still very acceptable and still means the above.

They should also have respect for themselves their plight and their existence not making out they are better than others given the above.
Whilst premierships are what count and they have us there only in the 90's might I add because in the 80's we still won more they as a club stand for nothing and as a result given they had Carey in their golden era it means squat now because it does not correlate into fans and memberships.
Nought equals zero nothing niente tipota zilch and I have no respect for clubs like them and their ilk.
Let them rot and fail they are a minnow and always will be. If we are crap for 30 odd years and can still get close to 60K members double their paltry tally then they are not in the same league as us as far as I am concerned and any animosity they have for us is borne out of jealousy from our character finances success albeit long ago and our large but still even larger dormant supporter base.
F off Nought.
Losses like what they got last night make me warm and fuzzy inside.

Giggsy they are a mid table side at best who spruik their plight to generate sympathy support so even if you don't support them they can be adopted as a second side.
Shinboner means nothing it's just a mythical thing that gives Nought something like Colliwobbles something unique and albeit pathetic.
Whilst spirit can get you so far on a journey its class cash and downright hard nosed bluntness that does and Nought falls short in all three areas.
Yes there were times under Spud and Walla$$ where I wish we showed more spirit and toughness but I am positive if we play 10 finals in the space of a few years we won't win 1 and have an average losing margin of 82 points either.
Shinboner spirit my hairy Greek ar$e.
Looking for a new home every so often and alienate those that actually support them to gain a lesser handful of fans somewhere else no. Self pity and receiving funding from the governing body every so often to keep them afloat or reducing debt through membership FTF and a large supporter base who are craving for success. In so many words Giggsy they have done a few things okay but the blueprint for success is certainly not coming from Arden St as overall they are just as I said a mid table club at best so to answer your question Giggsy no we can't learn from them we can do it our way and prosper and be a premiership success and that says a lot more about the fabric of our club than the torn tattered patchy fabric that is theirs. :thumbsup

F nought
I totally agree with tucker although I do understand your point of view gigantor
Nought are a side with a proverbial chip on their shoulder, they take pride in kicking a side when they are down and they provide milestone games for their side in an attempt to inspire their players to victory.
Another observation would see this lowly club take pride in destroying the hopes of opposition fans rather than nought playing to win they play in aspiteful manor eg: last years encounter agaist RFC their banner read " lets destroy the hopes of them playing finals etc" or words to that effect.

 I said they take pride in being that pain in the arse that wont go away, that club that always bobs up to beat a team and throw a spanner in the works and everyone goes woww! Then they go back to nothingness for weeks at a time.

They took pride in seeing us finish outside the 8, due to their soft draw.... no doubt vlad inspired and they got what they F deserved in perth and iirc correctly I was at a bday bbq for friends and we had such a great laugh I almost popped a sausage out the other end  :lol

I could go forever about how worthless these pricks are but let me leave you with this. Last year when we played gc suns I went to the pub to watch with friends, had to leave suddenly cos one of my kids was rushed to the royal. As I got there we had to wait in the emergency room for some time. As we were waiting I noticed a guy in a nought polo and matching cap.
By the time we were ready to go in, the result of our game was mentioned on  channel 7 newsbreak to which I though F hell. I looked across the room and the nought wanker had the biggest grin on his face and looking around the room to see if anyone else was a nothiningless nought like himself to which he caught my eyes of fire.

 Kid ended up ok, my depise for the poo worthless club and their poxy frame of a president- no

Just imagine if that goal ump hadn't decided he was a goalie. We'd be playing off for outright 3rd spot tomorrow night. Win and we'll probably be equal 4th with Essendon behind Haw, Geel and Freo.

Coterie 89.
RFC is proud to announce the formation of two new Coterie Groups. Coterie 89 in recognition of the 89 point loss to Geelong in the Prelim of 95 and Coterie 68 in recognition of our 68 point loss to Brisbane in the Prelim of 2001. Spots will be capped and you'll have the opportunity to have a game day experience mingling with stars on the club rosters during those years like Stephen Jurica, Craig Biddiscombe, Adam Slater, Mark McQueen, Craig Ednie and many more.

As I said spots will be capped and if we still haven't made finals by the end of 2015 we will have a new group on offer for season 2016 Richmond 5000 to commemorate 5000 days since we last played a final. This will ensure unlike 3121 where you are more likely to win first division lotto instead of getting a GF ticket you'll be front row at the race at every thrashing to give the boys all your verbals and then some for the sum of about a cheap pair of scissors so instead of cutting your membership or microwaving your membership you can throw it at the players ala Gieschen and Frawley era like so you can live retro weekend every weekend.
Make no mistake Malakies the Tigers.

Indian Tigers Supporter Group

This supporter group will provide you with an exciting introduction to the Richmond Tigers and the game of Australian Rules Football.  The Tigers’ home ground is the mighty MCG. As with cricket, it is a great place to watch elite-level football.
 
The Richmond Football Club is keen to build on its relationship with the Indian community.  As a result, the Club has formed the Indian Tigers Supporter Group. This supporter group will provide you with an exciting introduction to the Richmond Tigers and the game of Australian Rules Football.
 
Indian cricket great Rahul Dravid is delighted to be the patron of the Indian Tigers Support Group.
“Sport brings people together. I have seen that all over the world. It’s great that Richmond is connecting with the Indian community,” said the champion batsman, who visited the ME Bank Centre at Punt Road Oval on the eve of the 2011 Boxing Day Test.
 
“I like the idea of the Indian Tigers supporter group – it will give Indians another team and another sport to follow. I have watched some games on television – it is fast and very physical.  It would be great to see a game played in India one day.”
 
Indeed, Richmond does have aspirations to play an exhibition game in Mumbai in the near future. As part of this planned activity Richmond officials recently joined a Victorian State Government Trade Mission in India this month.
 We would like to offer you a free three-game Richmond membership for the 2013 season, as well as an automatic, free membership of the Indian Tigers Supporter Group.
 
Your free Indian Tiger Membership entitles you to:
·         Access to any 3 home games in Melbourne
·         Personalised 2013 membership card
·         A unique inner sanctum experience at the Club, before a game at the MCG
·         Personalised communication from the club


In 2012, the Richmond Football Club achieved a significant goal by signing over 53,000 members and breaking our all-time membership record.  We want to be even bigger and better in 2013, as we continue our quest for 75,000 members by 2014.
 
 
 
To join the Indian Tigers Supporter Group and become a member of the Richmond Football Club, fill in your details below and we will contact you shortly.

Wouldn't it be funny if we were 9-1 and Collingwood were 1-9

I can't see how that wouldn't be funny. ;D

Is Carlton still really one of the AFL's 'Big Four'?
Posted by: Matt Cram | 28 June, 2013 - 4:15 PM

Do you see what's missing from the below picture?

(http://media.mytalk.com.au/3AW/images/400cheersquadaaaa.jpg)

Despite the arrival of Mick Malthouse and a return to finals football beckoning, the Blues are struggling to keep pace with Victoria's vanguard.

Richmond this week joined Hawthorn and Collingwood as the only clubs to pass 60,000 members and Essendon boasts a record membership despite enduring a damaging drug scandal.

But Carlton - traditionally a fixture in Victoria's 'Big Four' clubs - is still yet to reach 50,000 members.

The Blues' membership has grown by less than 8000 since 2009, compared to Collingwood (more than 29,000), Richmond (more than 23,000), Essendon (more than 13,000) and Hawthorn (more than 9000).

While Collingwood remains a clear front-runner, the Tigers are the fastest growing club, signing almost 20,000 members since 2011.

Sports Today co-host Gerard Healy believes the Tigers can again lead the pack.

"When I was 14, Richmond was the number one by that far it wasn't funny," he said.

"They ... had a club called Essex Heights which people used to move states for, to go and play in their under-14s.

"So they won premierships in the under-14s, the 17s, the 19s, the reserves - they were huge."

It seems the Club has put the membership tally cue in the rack and will happily sit on 60k as a final tally for 2013.

The membership page is now saying if you sign up for 2014 general admission membership then you'll also get entry into the remaining 2013 home games for free.

Can't for 2 reasons

1/ have rolling Tiger M'ship so it will automatically roll over for 2014 in Nov for ordinary m'ships

Pies at 80,000 members; aiming to reach 100k within two years.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-16/pies-break-80000-mark

They've had the benefit of relative on-field success with 8 straight finals appearances plus a flag in 2010. On the other hand, we've been able to reach 64k without any help from on-field until this year. How high can we grow to if we were now to go on and play finals regularly and win a flag (or three by 2020 according to Benny  ;D )?

The great majority of those front runners will start proclaiming a new allegiance to the next top club to hit it big.

Pies caught out using dodgy membership ads  :police:.

------------------------------------------

COLLINGWOOD has been fined $20,400 by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for two infringements in a misleading membership advertisement.

The advertisement, which appeared in the Herald Sun in May and was emailed to more than 90,000 people, offered three-game memberships and a Collingwood membership for only $20.

It was only in the fine print of the advertisement that it became clear that the actual figure was $120, payable over six months in $20 installments.

According to the ACCC, there were reasonable grounds to believe the advertisement failed to prominently state the total minimum price payable for that offer in contravention of section 48 of the Australian Consumer Law.

Consumers should know the real price of goods and services so that they are able to make informed purchasing decisions," ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said.

"Advertisements that do not state the real price of goods or services have the potential to draw in consumers based on half-truths. All businesses must ensure that they comply with their obligations under the Australian Consumer Law."

$120 for a 3 game membership, a guernsey, scarf and a hat is a pretty good deal.
A deal like that should sell itself.
But no Collingwood had to try and find a sneaky way of doing it, typical of Collingwood and their contempt for their fans and they deserve their $20k fine. I wonder which marketing genius came up with that one.
No doubt Eddie will have some mate in Canberra to ensure a suspended fine is put in place.
Having said that though, Collingwood was doing the community a service by only asking for $20 instalments. Can you imagine the spike in crime if the $120 had to be paid upfront.

AFL sets club membership record

The Age
    August 23, 2013


The AFL's off-field dramas haven't stopped the competition's 18 clubs cumulatively attracting more members this season than ever before.

The AFL on Thursday announced a record club membership tally of 756,717, a 6.94 per cent increase on last year.

Eleven clubs broke their own membership records, including Collingwood, whose 78,427 members are more than any club has had before.

Hawthorn (63,353) and Richmond (60,321) also topped the 60,000 mark.

The AFL's two newest clubs, Greater Western Sydney (12,681) and Gold Coast (12,502), have tallies that are clearly the competition's lowest, although both increased on last season. Battlers Melbourne (33,177) and St Kilda (32,707) were the only two clubs to have membership decreases.

The AFL also announced on Thursday it would trial the Vision-Stacking System, which it had tested earlier this year, to assist with scoring decisions in 12 matches across the final two rounds.

The system enables a decision to be reviewed across multiple camera angles on one screen in real time. It was tested earlier this year at the MCG, and would now be tested live, according to football operations manager Mark Evans.

''We are assessing the system … to see if it provides benefits in improved accuracy and/or reduced time taken on decisions,'' he said.
