Our make-up home game?
« on: October 24, 2008, 03:44:23 PM »
So which away game in Melbourne will Members get to compensate for the GC game?

Ta WP.

I hope it's the Saints game but if the club wants supporters to sign up early as members then they should make the make-up game in the first 6 rounds where we have 4 away games. Either the doggies one on Easter Monday or North on Anzac Day.

Don't think that will work MT - I reckon the plan is to ensure the "make up" game is an away game at the MCG

Exactly. Our make up game should be at the G.

You're right WP. I forgot about that. Well then the obvious one is the second Carlton game in round 15. The only other choices are Essendon or Melbourne a few weeks later. Sheesh if they make it the Carlton one with both members allowed in it'll pack out the 'G. At least 80k+ easy.

Can't think of nothing sweeter in home and away footy than getting in for free into the G using your Tiger membership at a Carlscum home game and winning. The looks on their navy blue faces will be priceless. Another master card moment.


Richmond 11 game AFL membership $170
Train ticket to get to the G for the game $6
Pre game drinks at the pub $50
Pies hot dogs drinks and beers for you and mates at the big game: another $50


Getting in for free using your Tiger membership at a Carlton home game and pantsing the crap out of them, then watching the palpable pain on the Carlscum fans faces losing at the ground and at the bank   PRICELESS........   :bow :cheers :lol :rollin :lol :clapping :gotigers

looking through the draw. 
there are only 3 games that fit the bill of:
away game at the G.
Rd 15 vs Carlton
Rd 17 vs Essendon
Rd 18 vs Melbourne.

obviously it's better for it to be free entry to a game against the big rivals carlton or essendon. 
however, maybe the club will be unwilling to fork over money to clubs already rich  in carlton or essendon.  So perhaps it would be against melbourne,
(p.s. the game against melbourne is the only one of the 3 on foxtel, which will be good for me)

The Essendon game is in the designated "rivalry round" (round 17) if that means anything.

You wont be able to use it CUB.

From what the RFc web-site says there will be a designated area for RFC members to sit in but it wont be our normal reserve seats.

The Carlton and Essendon games will be chockers with all their members there as well so a designated area for Tiger members would end up in the Ponsford stand or up the top decks of either the Southern or Northern stands. Perhaps the Club may make it the Melbourne game so the designated area isn't up in the clouds.
