Play some good football and we will show our faces, not we will back our club no matter what, incorrect show us fans some respect and we will be there.

Have to agree

Shocking crowd number, I thought they'd get about 30k, was horribly wrong

Reckon it's going to be then norm for the remainder of the year

Crowd numbers like that are going to have a huge impact on the bottom line

Yes but don't sack the coach - cause we can't afford paying out the contract

1. Tiger Army demobilises

After last round's heart-breaking loss to North Melbourne you could understand some of Richmond's supporters staying away, but the Tigers and the AFL would have been extremely disappointed with the paltry 22,074 crowd for the only game in Melbourne on Saturday.

It was the lowest crowd between the sides since round 13, 1999.

The corresponding fixture last year, played in round 17 as both teams surged towards finals, attracted 40,125 supporters as the Tigers registered a 27-point win.

We're that poo at the moment that I don't even get that feeling we can even cause an upset. I tip with my head so I havent tipped the tiges in weeks, but if I tipped with my heart I'd still be tipping the opposition the way we're going.

Yea well that's true, that's why I don't do tipping comps , I was wondering how we always used to cause a boil over once a year in the old days, but we had Richo

The way we have capitulated - both the losses and the way we have lost has been disappointing.
The game itself has become less appealing to watch - except when the absolute best sides play each other and within that, we have become a poor spectacle.
We played okay yesterday in patches but the damage has been done.
People have lives outside of football, there are other things we can do doing and 18k chose to do something else yesterday.

X2.

But the club is too ignorant to believe the lower crowd is anything to do with performance. Theyll blame it all on the weather

Spot on. The people have spoken. The club is going to be in serious trouble if this translates into memberships not being renewed next year.

OK, it's time to send the club a message.

There would be no clearer message than a boycott of next week's game against the Swans (Fri night at the G).
