Tigers off to Townsville: Nov. 30 - Dec. 7

[one-eyed]

Richmond will head to tropical North Queensland in early December, for a week-long pre-season camp in Townsville.

The Tigers will continue their recent tradition of training in hot and humid conditions as they prepare for the upcoming season, with their previous two camps having been held in Cairns.

The camp, which runs from November 30 until December 7, will combine elements of football training, fitness and team bonding.

There will be two open training sessions for Tiger fans to attend, at Tony Ireland Stadium, starting at 9am on Monday, December 1 and Wednesday, December 3.

Great. More rubbish press about irrelevant chit for 95% of members from a community not willing to buy memberships. 

Why not have open days in Melbourne?  Imagine feedback on training drills times fed to members and fans. 4$ cans. Open the bar.

1 week? I'd leave them up there until the pre-season games.

Being a local Townsville person who is a member - I am looking forward to being able to watch them train and meet afterwards.

Good to see we got some tigers up in Townsville Nevefan, nice part of the world too.  Is it still Aussie rules turf up there or has rugby taken over completely

Why go to Arizona when we have everything we need here ?  Good economic management by the club.  Good work Tiges

Well, if there's one thing I can say that Grigg does well - he certainly grows a decent 'stash. After that...

Hi Owl, Rugby still dominates up here in the north. With the Cowboys team in the league competition, AFL will always be a secondary sport. Cairns is much stronger with a greater ex Victorian population up there.
