Our supporters need to show up to away games. The crowd against Pies in Round 2 was very disappointing.

the round 2 crowd was very disappointng because the team that boasts they have 70k members could only draw a total 60k to its first home game of the season

Would think those numbers say more about Pies supporters than Tiger fans

Has nothing to do with being precious about money. I didnt go, I choose not to give money to the enemy. I buy my RFC membership every year. I contribute to JD Foundations and Fighting Funds. I think its incredible that some Richmond people think it appropriate to make other Richmond people feel bad even if they make a decent yearly contribution. Personally I think that attitude stinks. Anyone who buys a Richmond membership is good enough supporter for me.

last year in Darwin it sounded like there was about 10 tiger fans there, yet they easily outnumbered the enemy.

were those tiger fans and all the others who travel to interstate games precious about their money.

Is it true that you yourself wont go interstate to follow the tigers? Precious about money or just not a true supporter?

FFS give it a break.The collonwoood game was during the easter extra long weekend.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I hate that attitude. You are supposed to want to be there to watch your team and make noise and get behind them. That's a supporter.

I'm with Madtiger. If they game is in Melbourne, you need to have a good excuse not to go. I think it would make a massive difference to the boys out there having a rawkus tiger crowd behind them.

As if you wouldn't want to go to the game anyway, regardless of whose home game it is. Going to the footy is one of life's greatest pleasures.
