Craigieburn ground I would say , one of melb fastest growth corridors , makes sense :shh

Not on option we longer have any ties to Craigieburn, original deal expired wasnt renewed

Why don't they ask the members to contribute say $10 each and in return ditch those hats or scarfs we get through the membership.

As if our supporter base can't come up with 1 mil.


Yep why not?

Whats another mil to go on top of the 5+ mil they've already handed over

Or they could just keep ringing folks and try and flog more of those $200 raffle tickets that aren't selling well

So many things they could again ask the supporters to do

I'm sure the well can handle it .....again  ;D

WP no one has to give to the club but i know i would happily give $10. Heck i would add a zero to that if we end up flogging the bombers in the finals.

Why is it horse poo?  :-\

I said yep the club can go again to the members to get this done because its what it does

That's what the FTF is all about isnt it?

I'm looking forward to games at Punt Road so I am not sure why you are whacking me

Why don't you write the email Bents if you feel so strongly  ;D

$ 640000 if the scarves and caps are $15 it's $960000. There's your money. :thumbsup

If the Richmond VFL team played all home matches at Punt Road, what would the crowd be on average?

Would Richmond need to fund more money to play at Punt Road? Guessing one grandstand might not be enough? Thoughts?

Get them scheduled 2 hours before our Saturday and Sunday home games, charge gold coin donation as the entry fee and open up the bars.

It's got nothing to do with needing another grandstand

Club has already said they need $1 mil to bring Punt Road up to standard for VFL games. Mentioned a number of times in this thread torch what needs to be done to get it up to scratch

Reckon the caps scarfs mass produced in sweat shops probably cost a couple of bucks at most.

Not sure what the other clubs with ressies do, but maybe they could offer a VFL membership for say 30 extra for RFC members that would get access to all VFL matches, otherwise you pay at the gate if your not an RFC member or dont take up the offer.
And there's your money!

Then again if they are going to use the next lot of FTF for this then make sure the members know this, I had an envelope handed to me saturday which went straight in the bin (Given heaps!) but if I was more aware and this is what it would be used for would of chucked in again no worries.
