I went down to Punt Road Oval to renew my membership today (and get a seat in the new stand :thumbsup) and asked how our numbers were going. Although they don't have a total figure they are flat out. Probably nothing new for this time of year but still good to hear. Hopefully we can finally crack the 30,000 mark in 2006.

Hopefully with Richie's missus being an Aussie, he might be tall and have the talent of an Adam Goodes.

I have to also renew my kids memberships, they are already bronze members and are only 2 and half and 1 and half years old. They will be Gold Members by their mid 20's  :thumbsup

With the Flea's 3 boys as well as Tyson we might have a fair few Father-Sons coming through in 15-20 years time if they are as good as their dads. If Tambo does a Craig Bradley and plays AFL into his mid-30s, there'll be only a year or two between Richie retiring and Tyson starting out :o.

Do you think maybe the rush for the new comfy seats in the olympic stand may have something to do with it ? Being an MCC member have had the chance to try the new seats and they are a lot more comfy and a bit bigger I think than the seats in the southern.

Thats great news CUB, i am in the new stand and have a dinner dance from work at the MCG tomorrow night. I am taking the camera and hoping to get a few shots of the running track. i think it may have been covered up in parts though.

When I was down at the Club the other week sorting out the Cubs (nephew & Niece) memberships I was talking to the lasdy behind the counter and she said that they'd been very busy with the MCG seating - alot of people were taking up the option of moving there

It's going to take a few years of finals in a row to make up for 23 years of crap. We've never cracked the 30k mark so that's a milestone in itself.

Are the Pies above 40k yet  ???. I thought their membership fell this year to around 37-38k? Believing in their own bs again.

When you consider our lack of success over the last 25 years I reckon our membership numbers especially in the last couple of years have been OK - not great but OK. If we get 30k members for 2006 we are well on our way to building towards 40+k. I mean let's be honest people want some sort of value for money and the footy played in years 2003-2004 wasn't exactly exciting.  :banghead In 2005 we saw that things are different (style of play etc) and because of that I reckon our figures in 2006 will improve

As for the Pies - let's see what their figures are like in 2006 after their stellar 2005 ;D

If we could get together a good side, Richmond could double its membership base. Ive always said We have the ability to get 50-60,000 members. I think actually I put up a thread about this a fair while back.

My understanding is when CLubs submit thier membership numbers to the AFL they must give Ticketed and non-ticketed member totals.

I still think 10k+ ticketed is a top result so far, coupled with that I reckon the move back to the new Northern stand and people wanting seats there has helped the figure too

Tigers stricken with Tribal Fever
1:40:46 PM Thu 15 December, 2005

richmondfc.com.au

Richmond is on target to break its pre-Christmas membership record . . .

The Tigers set their record of 12,320 ticketed members by Christmas 2004, but believe they can top that figure 12 months on.

At close of business yesterday (Wednesday, December 14), the Club had signed 11,089 ticketed members and 2975 non-ticketed members.

“It is pleasing to see how well we’ve advanced with membership sales leading into the Christmas period. And, it highlights what a great response we’ve had from our loyal members to our ‘Feel the Tribal Fever’ campaign,” said Richmond’s General Manager, Consumer Marketing, Trent Jacobs.

“Another very promising sign for us is the reserved-seating take-up. We are approximately 1000 seat sales ahead of this time last year, which is a fair indication of just how quick our members have been to snap up seats in the new Olympic Stand at the MCG, as well as the top seats on offer in the Great Southern Stand.

“The good thing for those supporters yet to buy their memberships is that there are still plenty of excellent seats available to watch the Tigers in action during 2006.”

Jacobs praised the efforts of the Club’s membership staff in managing the move of more than 5000 Tiger seat holders back into the new Olympic Stand for the ’06 season.

“There are always a few small problems that arise along the way, but on the whole, this transition has been very smooth. The servicing has been outstanding, and we continue to get a great deal of positive feedback from our members,” he said.

“In relation to fulfillment delivery, we always strive as hard as we can to deliver fulfillment pre-Christmas. Unfortunately this year, due to small issues that have arisen overseas which have been out of our control, the majority of our fulfillment will be delivered just after Christmas.

“However, for those members using membership kits as Christmas gifts, the membership staff will be happy to forward out certificates, so they can be presented for Christmas.

“We certainly thank our members for their on-going commitment to the Club in signing up before Christmas, and we look forward to a boom response membership-wise early next year.”

We're about a 1000 ahead on the same time last year so it does seem the Olympic stand has caused an early rush. If we could stay a 100 ahead then we would break the 30,000 barrier.

As for when it arrives. I don't mind when it comes (although the earlier the better) as long as I get it before the season starts. The last couple of years when its arrived about a month after I've rejoined has been out of the norm.

Seems the early rush was due to the new stand as we're now slightly behind the number at the same time last year and roughly the same as in 2004.

Having Rach at the helm should increase our male membership lol
Settle MJS  :lol :rollin

Both of my kids received their membership's on Friday but we have only just opened them this afternoon.

They are running around the house waving their little flags and wearing their inflateable hand to wave when we kick a goal.

I cant wait to take them again this year and see them waving their flags ;D :gotigers

A good NAB Cup would provide a short term boost but what we really need IMHO is consistent improvement and competitiveness throughout the year and the next to get supporters on board long term. Richmond people have been burnt many times before having their hopes raised too high from flash in the pan results only for them to be crushed.

When we make the finals and look like we will remain there for a few years - they will come flocking back.

All clubs have them (just that we have more) and they are not very good supporters IMO but would be welocme back anytime. Certainly makes for a great atmosphere at the G come finals time.

Never forget the last couple of times we have made finals and coping heaps from opposition supporters about woodwork and all that. After all the krapola Iv'e been though I dont handle that stuff to well at all. Back inthe 90's a mate copped a spray in maccas, he was with his son and this essendon moron started, needless to say he ended up wearing pickles home that night courtesy of the son - LMAO - wanker

Was said at the time it would be fixed MT. No idea if it has been but you'd hope club membership would be a certainty for putting up big money.

I think the whole ticketing break up is an issue (I'll just go and crank up the turntable so I can play that broken record).  8)
Let's see.....an example......oh, I know - an MCC member pays the yearly subscription but wants to also contribute to the club and be a club member. MCC Tigers sounds ok, $139 for entry to 4 TD home games, steep but at least you're a Richmond member. :)
Hold the phone....you find you're called a "non-ticketed" member because you don't have access to finals tickets.....as far as "official" membership figures are concerned you are not included....some kind of claytons member. Insulting rubbish.  >:(

The AFL have made the rule yet all other clubs seem to package their memberships to get around it. (or they ignore it)

Ridiculous isn't it :scream

Is it also non-ticketed because it allows entry to only 4 games. I remember reading somewhere that the AFL placed a 5 match minimum for a membership to be classed as ticketed. Is/was our blockbuster (5 game) membership classed as ticketed?

From Tough Love to Tribal Fever
11:10:19 AM Fri 3 March, 2006
richmondfc.com.au

Star of stage, screen and the airwaves, Mick Molloy, plays a prominent role in Richmond’s 2006 membership TV commercial.

Molloy, host of Triple M’s popular ‘Tough Love’ program – and a Richmond fanatic – is featured having a ‘Tribal Fever’ tattoo etched on his back, while the tattooist (covered in colorful skin illustrations himself) proudly documents his family history of designing Tiger ‘tatts’.

The commercial, which also features current-day Richmond captain Kane Johnson, along with star players Nathan Brown, Mark Coughlan, Shane Tuck and Brett Deledio, plus several members of the ‘Tiger Tribe’, was shot in an authentic tattooist shop in Williamstown.

It was created and directed by Mark Campbell (a self-confessed Tiger ‘tragic) in conjunction with Dave Ellis from ‘Chocolate AVF’.

The Tiger TVC will air for the first time this Sunday (March 5) on Networks 9, 10 and Foxtel. It will run for the next four weeks concurrently.

For a sneak preview of the Tiger TVC, please click on the link . . . (ed: you need to click on the link on the RFC site  :thumbsup)

I see that the Brisbane Lions have roped in Dreamworld's famous white tiger, Mohan, under their pet membership.  Seems wrong having a real tiger supporting the Lions.  Maybe we should get Sultan, Mohan's son, who's bigger than the old man?  Sultan features on the Jupiters Casino ad - the tiger walking over the craps table.

I'm not sure if they have included yesterday's signing  but in any case we're going about the same rate as last year which isn't a bad effort given we haven't had anywhere near the publicity of last year. 3 away games in the first 4 rounds ::) against difficult opponents doesn't help us either reaching 30,000.

Really hard to judge how we're going with memberships at this stage of the year.  In days gone by a lot of the memberships would come in the first month of the season, but these days with reserved seating etc, people buy in advance.  Still, i reckon we'll break the 30,000 easy this year  :thumbsup

Let's hope we can Moi. We're on par with last year I'd reckon but a good win against the doggies before our first home game might give us that boost to break 30k. We should also remind people our home ground is the 'G and as the Comm Games showed what a spectacular ground it can be watching sport especially at night. Get on board the Tiggy Train as Browny would say  :thumbsup.

You would hope there would be eventually some transfer as people think about upgrading given non-ticket holders have got in the habit of buying some form of RFC membership. Non-ticket numbers are significantly ahead of previous years.

* Slight drop off during the Comm games but has really picked up in the last few days. Expect this and next week to be very busy.

* Patrons walking past to the 'G has increase sales at the Tiger Den.

* Tribal fever idea and tattoos - represents supporter loyality during the past 25 years and hopes now Terry and the boys will reward that loyalty in the near future.

* Temporary tribal tiger tattoos available at the Dogs? and Blues games.

* Bolstered reserve seating stocks now that the Olympic stand area is back.

* Pushing heavily to get 30k. Things tracking well towards that figure with Terry and players being strongly involved.

* Saints game - members should get there and in early as the Saints members will be omitted as well.

I don't really pay much attention to the insterstate clubs and their figures because for it really isn't a level playing ground

The Peee Brain Pies would have around 35k I reckon

So I think to be only a couple of thousand behind the likes of St Kilda and Geelong (by a membership folks but who cares if we can't fit you all in our ground  ::)) is an excellent effort :thumbsup

Carlton have only been down the bottom for a couple of years - we've been there for over 25 and they're 4,000 behind us already. Shows what a great supporter group we have and just imagine if we could make the finals consistently where we'd be.

At the same time, i admire how the Dogs and Kangas keep surviving every year on their low base.  Wouldn't matter if they made the finals, they have no supporters, but they're still hanging in there.

But seriously last night not only hurts us membership wise but once again on the big stage of Friday night football we put in a uncompetitive display. A neutral would of turned off unless they were awestruck but the doggies blitz. Channel 7 won't be keen to give us any Friday nighters next year if we get pumped again next week which is looking a reality  :-\.

It's interesting if the Pies are down that far. I think with them down there and Ricmond struggling that its fair to say Essendon are probably the best supported team in Victorian sport at the moment. A fair bit of it is gloryhunting recent arrivals but nonetheless they probably have more support than Collingwood at the moment. To be fair to them 45,000 at TD for what was an inter state v Swans Rd.1 was  great attendance.

According to Inside Footy, the crowd for the Coll vs Crows games was just over 35,500.  You'd have to say that's a disappointing crowd for them.

The first few rounds will be all over the place because the MCG is unavailable at the moment.  But as we have Friday night footy, stretching the round to Monday nights is a bit much.  We either have footy on Friday night or Monday night.  Not both.

That is a good point Tigerspirit but to be fair the attendance was about 4,000 up on the same fixture last year. if you look at the Collingwood crowds the inter states have not really been exceptional and have often been below Essendon's in recent years. Where the Magpies really attract huge crowds in in games v melbourne opposition where both their fans come out and fans of the other clubs come out to see the game against the "big ticket" team. Anzac day, Pies v carlton, Pies v us etc are all huge games nad let's be honest everyone wants to beat them so i think that explains the level of attendances as much as the core pies support does.

We were given the worse draw in terms of attracting members. Only one home game in the first month, 3 games against top 4 sides and back to back interstate trips. Hopefully we can get more supporters on board when we return to the 'G in a fortnight against the Blues. A upset win in Brissy wouldn't go astray in the lead up to it.

This is a tremendous effort for (what seems to me to be) a low key campaign, with little early success to work off. Congrats to the club, and more importantly, congrats to the people who have signed up.

Is the board allowed to take responsibility for this, or are they only responsible for failures.

Post by: mightytiges on May 04, 2006, 02:54:29 PM
From memory we picked up another 1,000 or thereabouts in May last year so I don't think we'll reach 30,000 but hopefully we'll at least record our highest membership ever and then break through 30,000 next year. Our non-ticketed numbers are significantly higher so maybe next year we can modify some of them slightly so they get classed as ticketed. The main thing is membership is up which means more badly needed dollars coming into the Club coffars.

The club should do some sort of press conference and promote the fact that we are nearly at a club record and also very close to breaking the 30,000 members barrier.

Surely with a home game and on the back of 3 wins we might be a chance to get enough to get us over the line and finally get to 30,000.

Title: First round thumping cost the club 1,000 members - March
Post by: one-eyed on May 17, 2006, 02:00:28 AM
March's comments on membership from the Age article in the Cubs thread:

The side's second 100-point-plus loss in seven rounds was shattering to the club, but understandable given the number of players out of the team, club president Gary March said. The first loss, however, cost the Tigers at least 1000 members and sapped the club of spirit and energy at the season's opening.

"The first one hurt more than the second one," March said of the two losses of 115 points in round one to the Bulldogs and 118 points last weekend against Sydney. "The first one was, to use a cliche, most un-Richmond-like. It was very disappointing, it was just terrible. And it set the whole year back. We would be over 30,000 members now (the Tigers currently have 29,000), I have got no doubt, if we had had a strong performance.

Record membership for Tigers in 2006!

Richmond has broken its all-time membership record . . .

As at the close of business yesterday, the Tigers had signed 29,356 members for the 2006 season, passing its record of 29,351, which was set in 1999. The Club also has more than 7000 non-ticketed members.

“It’s a wonderful achievement to break the ticketed membership record in 2006,” said the Club’s General Manager, Consumer Marketing Trent Jacobs.

“We have steadily climbed to this point over the past five years, which has been as a result of increased service provision, greater recognition of members and, generally, improving the overall membership experience.

“I think this record-breaking achievement is testament to the fact our membership department has improved in many areas, and it’s also reflective that the Club is headed in the right direction and we have our members’ buy-in.

“I’d also like to take the opportunity to again thank our members for their support.

“Over the past five years we haven’t experienced a lot of success, but our members have continued to back us and this is really appreciated by all the Club’s stakeholders.

“Our retention rates are climbing every year and we look forward to this trend continuing, as we set ourselves to break through the 30,000 barrier for the first time, in 2007.”

Official club membership figures submitted to the AFL close on June 30. So, for those Tiger supporters, who are yet to ‘Feel the Tribal Fever’ in ’06, Friday is your last chance.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they ever close, it's just that I think you have to get in before July 1 to be able to access finals tickets.

Lets hope the club has kept its expenditure in check and they report a half decent profit. By the way, anyone found out he much we made from the Collingwood gate?

Thats a great result. Why because we rank 1 in junior membership. And it sort of means that maybe we didnt completely lose a generation of support over the past 25 years. Looking good for the future I think. See what a great mascot and song can do lol.

Or one-eyed parents lol.

The 4th lowest adult membership is disappointing given those yearly surveys tell us that our main supporter demographic is in the 35-50 age bracket or around that mark anyway. Hopefully for the RFC's sake there's a latent adult membership base just waiting for jump on board if and when Richmond becomes a successful club again (hopefully in the next 2-3 years).

On another note, as much as bomber fans on BF want to ignore it, Essendon's membership is ordinary for a club that has been the dominant and most successful on-field Victorian club over the past 25 years. Their fans have jumped off the bandwagon so quickly  :yep.

Itd be interesting to get a similar breakdown for non ticketed members...but I agree about the 35 to 49 demographic...there out there just waiting for some success...like my brother who goes to games and takes his kids but he doesnt buy a membership.

The RFC must be close to having the highest non-ticketed membership too with over 7,000 and as the only club that publishes them.

From the Herald-Sun survey:

Carlton and Richmond (both 13 per cent) have the most AFL members.

Highest AFL membership, highest junior membership and nearly 30,000 members not far behind the leading Vic clubs despite 25 years of failure. I'd like to see another club do that  :thumbsup.

Hopefully we can jump ahead of the Saints and Cats next year now that their hype has hit the skids.

The thing about Richmond is the true passion the club evokes.

Ie: It was summery today and I had my Tiger training top on when I went to coles - This young tacker comes up 'Gooo Tiges' he goes - find this really good from young ones that dont really know what success is like yet. Maybe they are brain washed by thier dads or mums  :thumbsup :clapping
