Richmond VFL change of venue

Richmond’s Round 3 VFL match this Saturday has changed venues, due to unfinished redevelopment works at the ME Bank Centre.

The Tigers were scheduled to play their first home game on Punt Road Oval at the ME Bank Centre this Saturday against Williamstown, however the game will now be played at Burbank Oval, in Williamstown, at 12.15pm on Saturday, April 19.

The Club has been completing a number of works around the oval to enable VFL games to be played at the venue, however the unfinished redevelopment has resulted in the venue not being cleared for use by AFL Victoria.

“This is obviously a disappointing outcome, given we recently hosted a practice match between Richmond and Essendon at the venue in front of 2500 fans,” said Richmond’s CEO Brendon Gale.

“However, we respect the decision of AFL Victoria, and look forward to completing the necessary works as soon as possible. We remain hopeful that the venue will be cleared for use for our scheduled VFL fixture against Geelong on Sunday, May 4.”

Supporters can still attend the match at Burbank Oval (entry is $10), or follow Richmond's VFL Twitter @RichmondVFL for live updates, scores and stats.

A lot closer to home 

Have to say I'm not surprised. Works not finished meant AFL Victoria would never give sign off

AFL Victoria can be a fussy beast

Do we play them again? If we do I assume the venue would be swapped the second time around….

Bump. Game starts in 5 mins.

Feel free to post score updates. I'll be much appreciated.

Miraculous bounce across the line and the Tiges have their first through Vickery.

Willy get their first but Kingy roves a pack in the goalsquare and snaps Richmond's second to get the reply.

Tigers by 5.
