The Fighting Tiger Fund - "Giving 110%" [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

Would think it was good to get that extra 2.4mil in the next year until the well dries up. No point declaring it dry already

I didn't declare it "dry already"

I said it will eventually dry up

"Eventually people will say no and the $2mil they got last year will be $1.5mil this year and then $900k the next and they'll think "hmm what's happening here? why aren't they kicking in $$$ to us for the FTF"

And they will wonder why?

Never said you did, but if they stopped it now they will basically be calling it dry. I don't think the people running the show are stupid enough to think this is going to last for another 10 years. I think it'll go along the lines of...

It had better not last another 10 years before RFC delivers sustained finals appearances and a GF !

Global warming, shifting weather patterns, dry wells....

So registering a Trademark automatically means that you're going to use it.  Didn't know that.  Good to learn.

I would have thought registering a trademark and protecting some IP for something that you may use regularly, intermittently or as needed is just good sensible business practice.

Apart from the Patron's fund I've seen no Fighting Tiger utterances this year.

But i do see a well organized club, sensibly protecting a good marketing term/trademark.

[Oiafi]

Of course the club is going to continue its fund raising efforts and so it should. I doubt we will see such a large scale campaign again or at least for a very long time. Hopefully never again.

And seriously, do we really think the club is going to rely on the influx of money we have seen from the FTF over the past few years? I know some people think the staff who run the club are a bunch of idiots but they are not complete morons. We're not Melbourne people.

[Gigantor]

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I have heard nothing from the club ,from where its going to replace the revenue lost from losing the pokies venue to Mathieson and co.I think its been about 12 months now since this happened.I hope the club is not putting all its eggs into the FTF basket

Great work from old the Y&B boys

then you are very lucky indeed. I have a a few

And BTW Are you saying you didn't receive anything about the Rd20 Jumper where you could have you name printed on it for $299 or for Patron's I think the price was only $250 odd?

Because all the $$$ from that was/is for the FTF fund and I believe every member got an email about it - so I reckon that qualifies as an "utterance"

Richmond needs you to give 110%
richmondfc.com.au   
October 24, 2013



At the 2013 Jack Dyer Medal evening, Richmond senior coach Damien Hardwick asked everyone associated with the Richmond Football Club to do what they could to make the Club better.

Knowing that success takes a collective effort, Hardwick asked Richmond’s Board members, players, coaches, staff, members and supporters to think about how they can contribute to creating a ‘Strong and Bold’ future at Richmond.

In recent years, Richmond’s Fighting Tiger Fund (FTF) has established itself as a critical platform to support a future of sustainable success, providing coaches, resources and equipment for our players to perform both on and off the field.

However, the job is not done, and Richmond is calling on you to do what you can to make this football club better.

The most important thing you can do to support the Tigers, is to buy a membership.  However, in 2014, as part of the FTF, we’re calling on our dedicated members to give 110%.

If you’d like to be part of this initiative, you don’t have to do anything right now. When Richmond launches its 2014 memberships soon, as part of the renewal process, you’ll be asked to give 10% extra on top of your membership price, which will go towards the Fighting Tiger Fund and invested directly into the football department.

So, what can you do to make Richmond great?  You can give 110%. The collective effort will help the Tigers build a Strong and Bold future.

But what if we have a rolling tiger payment setup?  Does it automatically add 10%?

I'd be happy to pay an extra 10%.  Only a few dollars every month.
