Being a one game ticket I think it's fair to say the membership is their to direct fundraising AM s way. There are no other motives other than ammunition to build the case for those miserable idiots out there waiting to take aim  ::)

have been asked to take out a membership and the money will go to the allanah and madelaine  foundation.

Chicken and Egg.  Are they using charity to sell memberships or memberships to sell charity.

I think Claw makes a pretty simple and fair point here and I think the charity angle might emotionally blackmail some people into buying memberships.  Given the clubs performance this year, its a pretty nasty hook.

If the tigers want to support charity, they can do a bit of media, maybe have a match based around it, promote it on their website, lend a couple of players.  Linking it to membership is a step too far imo.

As far as I'm concerned, buying a Richmond membership is charity enough.  Its a huge waste of money every year.

They did this last week with the game against Brissy for the Allanah and Madeleine foundation.
