The Tribal Council has Spoken - RFC Membership 2006

[mightytiges]

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  .

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  .

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
