Just in the nick of time. Most councils hand over control of ovals to cricket clubs on October 1st.

I thought we owned the cricket club, so in effect it wouldnt make much difference or is my info incorrect.

You're correct Ramps - we have (own) a 51% share of the Richmond Cricket Club.

Hopefully the RFC can make an extra quid out of this this year.

Nothing to do with Richmond but according to BF, 80s band Europe (of "Final Countdown" fame) will be the other "major" act along with Jet at the GF.

Fortunately, it won't matter if the Punt Rd turf is killed off by "Centre Square" as it was last year as the ground is being redeveloped and reshaped. Hopefully the Club is earning a decent quid out of it too.



Centre Square Package Includes:

Guaranteed Prime Category Reserved Seat for the Toyota AFL Grand Final.

Pre-Game entertainment including a high profile footy panel

Pre-Game dining – Sit Down or Cocktail

Beverages including premium beer, wine, spirits and soft drink

Post Match party featuring an exclusive performance from Powderfinger and Pete Murray.

Centre Square opens at 10:30am.

Price: $1995 inc GST

It looks like Punt Rd won't be used during GF week this year.
