Some interesting things discussed tonight by Club....(courtesy of IDGAF, Tiger Stripes & The Gun on BF)# - Greater fan access to players
# - greater player involvement digitally IE;twitter accounts/blogs etc. (they can't be forced they have to want to do this)
# - collating and gathering all tiger media releases onto one forum
# - Club is interested in expanding the media front, looking at
Bigpond Nation, facebook, more chats, interviews, podcasts. They're basically keen on involving the fans and providing the best experience possible.
# - streaming Coburg games through ours or another website
# - We also requested that live streaming of training sessions on the new site (cant recall what it was called) the club said it is a possibility.
# - using the punt rd. facilities much more on match days , BBQ's , family activities , injured players on hand to meet and greet.
# - Playing Coburg games @ Punt rd. as curtain raisers on the cards
# - much greater coverage and wrap ups from Coburg as to how Richmond listed players are travelling
# - the club is looking to take more ownership/branding of the "G" on game day. 'Richmondization" of the G, branding everywhere, maybe flag or banner giveaways.
# - Ben Cousins currently has no role now or in the foreseeable future @ the RFC (but he loves us and the door is open is my feeling)
# - When purchasing any merchandise from the AFL stores/Target etc. the club gets less than 1% of the proceeds. When merch is purchased from "The Tiger Den" the club gets around 40% of the proceeds. Complete and utter no brainer. BUY ALL YOUR GEAR DIRECT FROM THE CLUB
