RFC Official - We're on board!

[Mr Magic]

What I see from fellow Richmond supporters is something I have never see before.

I don't think you're the only one who feels this way, and it is something we are aware of.

Dissapointing?

The club should be very, very concerned. The fans stayed away in droves last week. The message couldn't be any clearer.

[Rampstar]

The message will get even clearer in the weeks ahead. People I know are dropping off the Tiges at a rate of knots. People who have supported this club for 20, 30 and 40 years have had enough. You can only fail for so long before people finally give it up. You cant fail like Richmond has for so long and get away with it. This has nothing to do with RFCO so its not personal but the truth is the supporters I know have lost faith in this administration and they think that the football department is a joke from the coaching panel to the list management of the club to recruiting to just about everything. You guys working at Punt Road may not realise it but you guys are on the cusp of a crisis as members turn away in their thousands IMHO.

We aren't oblivious to what is going on around us, just look at the crowd on the weekend. It's obviously a concern.

maybe tell Dimma to stop playing Hampson and dropping Grif. Will get 5k more to games instantly if Hampson is not playing

[dwaino]

RFC_O should start a coup.

Tyrone would probably play and keep a further 10k away.

Paul keating once said ..walk into any pet shop and the resident galah will be talking microeconomic policy.I'm afraid something similar is happening with the tiges.At the pub on Saturday night 2 older ladies were discussing the 2014 tigers...we are on the lips of everyone

 :LOL supporters dictating to who should play and shouldn't play.
As if the club doesn't know what's going on, as RFC_O stated.

Oh RFC and it's supporters always revert to type.

Keep Punching RFC_O you're doing an admirable job keeping the types under control.

If they knew what was going on they would fix the miss theyre in but they dont and they never will. The only thing this club has left is the supporters and theyre turning their backs on the club coz of the ongoing failures and disgraceful decision making that goes on in that place.

You make it sound as if it's all going to plan rog!

The game is unrecognisable from the game we grew up with

That is true.
HeyRFO, I'm getting a but sick of this losing streak - is there any chance of bringing the bye forward?

[The Big Richo]

Hi RFCO,

Just wondered if you could please take this question to the appropriate area of the club and let me know how they respond?


When can the members expect the RFC board to address us in relation to the outcomes of the 5 year strategic plan released in 2010?

It was already answered by Peggy in her web chat:

"The board and management were aware that when 3-0-75 was set in 2010, they were ambitious goals. We should never apologise for that - it was time for this club to demand more of itself. The progress has been very positive as we have retired $5m in debt, grown membership by more than 20,000 and played finals last year. The job is not yet done and we will continue to challenge ourselves throughout the Club."
