I'm 32 and while I didn't walk around the room it appeared that all were 40+40+ aint old Trust me I realise that, but it appeared other than myself that that was about the youngest age in the room. Definitely more in the 55+ bracket.Yes well you would think those with more senior positions with thoae dollars to spare would be 40+.

PS - Just reported on SEN only $1.5 million raised last night.only a tiger could put down 1.775 million minimum of free $$. absolutely spot on.The club has raised $2.5 million it never had last night, yet some arent happy.It was an amazing effort and an amazing night.KB's speech was the the most inspirational one I have heard since Martin Luther Kings "I have a dream"spine tingling stuff

You can you also stop taking my post out of context. I have clearly said that the money raised last night was a good start but that we have a long way to go and that there are people at the club who expected much more to be pledged. I dont have any problem with what happened yesterday and Id appreciate it if you didnt take my quotes out of context. My only concern is with the numbers being quoted in regards to the Jeep sponsorship. On that issue, yes you can say that I am not pleased or happy with that result because that would be true but this other stuff your spouting about my views on the fighting fund result last night is simply not correct and you know that.

Gee I am really glad you don't have a problem with what happened yesterday, god forbid you would. We raised $2.5 million dollars. I dont think people understand how amazing that actually is. The club has $2.5 m it didnt have , what a proud and passionate fan base we have, we should all be proud of that, and not denigrating it in any way.It is very easy to sit behind a keyboard and take pot shots and "be dissapointed" in people who give their life to the club.The sponsorship money coming into the club will be at least 10% more than what it was last year. 5 new major corporate sponsors were unearthed.In the prevailing economic climate and the fact that we are the worst performed club in the afl in the last 30 years, I would say that it was an outstanding result.TBenny Gale has been sent to richmond from GodIn Ben we trust

I agree with you about the supporter base. No one has denigrated anything and you know it. I have not taken pot shots from the cheap seats today and I havent said Im disappointed in anyone. Those are your words not mine. Although Im interested in this view you have of " people who give their life to the club" Who are these people? If 10% is the net rise in sponsorship income then its good although again I expected it to be higher. And finally yes times are tough, yes weve been poo for 30 years but we are still Richmond, we are still a big club with a huge supporter base and I cant support the view that we should be lowering expectations, lowering ambition or anything else. And one more thing, one of our big problems has been this messiah type syndrome that has enveloped Richmond. I respect Brendon Gale, I believe he's doing a top job but saying things like hes been sent to Richmond from God is well and truly over the top.
im sure the total will double soon.

Did you win Powerball or something so you dont think we are able to double that total.considering the shift in professionalism within the Punt rdi would expect us to reach this target and perhaps even exceedour target.if one group of wealthy supporters are able to raise over 1mim sure several others will be seen to be doing the same.
