2014 Membership: STRONG & BOLD - Bring the Roar Home

80,000 a chance ?

We are right on target for 80,000. Hopefully we continue selling them all season unlike this year where we stopped selling 2 months early. That could get us close to 85,000

What's the point if we aren't charging the same as Collingwood. 
It's cheating when you think about it 

I agree. And use the money to buy 2 pubs and pokies venues in Richmond . We aren't norf

get some brothel$ too

[Gigantor]

Unlike say carlton which has wealthy benefactors,or Melbourne and the northern interstate clubs which have the AFL supporting them,we have have neither.
We have to look at how clubs like Collingwood and especially hawthorn are raking in the dollars.Not that long ago the Hawks were going to merge and were up the creek money wise.Yet in a relatively short space of time they were able to not only turn it around but make themselves(whether we like it or not) into a financial powerhouse.
Or we can disgard both hawthorn and the pies and plot our own course in this area,but the given is that sooner rather than later the well that is the Fighting tiger fund will run dry or at the very least just a trickle..In my opinion that's a certainty

Good points

Can I just make a slight correction on your first point

We have indeed received money from the AFL, firstly we received over a few seasons money for our poor stadium deals. Granted , we didn't receive as much as other clubs but we certainly received a 6 figure sum.

Also, all clubs have recd funds under the AFL "futures fund" over the last 2 seasons. I still have the document that was released after the last TV rights were done. for memory the RFC were slated to receive significant funding over $5mil. Thin we've recd part of it but note sure about this year.

I think we'll pass the Hawthhorkes soon. I don't trust them, they'll get somebody to buy 10,000 memberships and say that the flag gave them extra memberships  getting passed by Richmond in membership sales will hurt more than losing the 2012 granny for them

I reckon we should double the charges and we will still get 45k in members but generate heaps more dough

Shh WP might hear you. Everybody know he's not a fan of raising membership costs

That's not what I said but whatever floats your boat

[Gigantor]

I know the comment was directed at Wp,but I certainly don't want memberships increased much beyond the inflation rate.
I want to see as many Richmond supporters out there become members.I want to see bums on seats at the games where the atmosphere created is akin to what we saw at the elimination final last year.
