Sounds like the official opening date of the ME Bank Centre?

I thought perhaps something to do with the launch of the debt reduction thing or just the season launch

Round 1 is the Thursday after (March 24) so WP may be right about this being the part of the season launch.

Today we have launched the 'Fighting Tiger Fund', we need YOUR help to remove our debt, invest in the future of the Richmond Football Club and make this club great again. You can hear straight from the CEO as well as Damien Hardwick, Matthew Richardson and Chris Newman by visiting the website

A real call to arms from Benny Gale in that video. Basically we need to generate $$$ now or we can forget ever seeing another flag when we are 14th when it comes to dollars invested in football. That also means we are currently at least one below a Bulldogs, Melbourne or North  :P which is just embarrassing although they are also on the AFL drip  ::).

Interesting that we should promote wanting our own reserves side before we have even started collecting the funds towards it. Selfishly it would be great to have curtainraisers back at Punt Rd but it also tells Coburg that the affiliation is temporary at best. They wouldn't survive without us either.

Not sure why the reconfiguration of the Punt Rd oval surface is part of this. I would've thought that was included in the $20m redevelopment monies?

Can I say I am a little disappointed with how this has been launched

To me this should come out to the memebers first or at least at the same time it appears in the newspapers and on the web-site whether this is via an email or a letter.

If we (members & supporters) come first as we keep being told then IMHO we should have been told first

Just my take

Fire away  ;D

They have only allowed credit card donations on the fighting fund site. What happens if someone doesnt use credit cards? Maybe the club needs to consider how supporters can get around this issue and make it easy for them to donate.

Ie. Does the club operate Bpay where each member has a corresponding Bpay number
Can the club open a bank account or trust account that would allow people to send cheques


The club needs to work on opening up the avenues for donations IMHO.

Good call Ramps.  Bank account details for a simple electronic transfer would suffice.

There would be a lot of old Tiger supporters out there that wouldn't know how to donate over the internet. My old man doesn't and never has had a credit card.

Make it easy and more people will give.

Not sure how long this will run for & I assume they have put an end date on it so why not have a rolling option whereby you can contribute from your credit card an amount per week or month , similar to Rolling Tiger option on memberships

All good points guys.  Wonder if RFCO can take them back to those who might be interested?
