‘AFL World’ (located at QV in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD) will be turned into a Yellow and Black Wonderland from next Monday, June 26.

The ‘AFG Tiger Expo’, which will run until Saturday, July 1, is going to be a celebration of Richmond’s past, present and future.

Proudly sponsored by the Club’s co-major partner, Australian Finance Group, the Tiger Expo shapes as the ideal school holiday outing for young members of the Richmond faith, and their families.

Strap yourself into the ‘Tiger Time Machine’ and be transported back to that golden era of the Club, from 1967-80, when five premiership cups were proudly placed in the Punt Road trophy cabinet.

Re-live those glorious Grand Final triumphs (1967, 1969, 1973, 1974 and 1980) on the giant screen, while mingling with some of the Tiger premiership heroes of those years.

Throughout the week, you’ll also be able to meet current-day Richmond players and coaches.

And, you can even watch senior coach Terry Wallace conducting his popular weekly media conference “Tuesdays with Terry”.

Admission prices for the AFG Tiger Expo are $13.50 for adult Richmond members, $8.50 for child Richmond members, $17.50 for adult non-members, $13.50 for concession non-members, $10.50 for child non-members and $49.50 for a family ticket.

AFL World is located at 292 Swanston St, Melbourne.

On Club Corner they said day one of the Tigers Expo was a success with the showing of the 1967 GF and having the players from the GF there to chat to and sign autographs, WEG posters and one duffle coat. Dick Clay said many Tiger supporters turned up which is good to hear.   

Billy Barrot there tomorrow (Tuesday) for the 1969 GF match replay. Wallace's "Tuesday with Terry" interview is on at 2.30pm.
