The Tribal Council has Spoken - RFC Membership 2006

[one-eyed]

March's comments on membership from the Age article in the Cubs thread:

The side's second 100-point-plus loss in seven rounds was shattering to the club, but understandable given the number of players out of the team, club president Gary March said. The first loss, however, cost the Tigers at least 1000 members and sapped the club of spirit and energy at the season's opening.

"The first one hurt more than the second one," March said of the two losses of 115 points in round one to the Bulldogs and 118 points last weekend against Sydney. "The first one was, to use a cliche, most un-Richmond-like. It was very disappointing, it was just terrible. And it set the whole year back. We would be over 30,000 members now (the Tigers currently have 29,000), I have got no doubt, if we had had a strong performance.

Sauce Mark II  says we've apparently now passed 29,000 and the old record mark. Well done to the Club and Trent Jacobs if so  .

Not a bad time to knock off the league leader either.

If you take out the one and 2 team towns, allow for all the Pies ferals who have come out of the woodwork due to their current winning form and the Bombers having a fire sale giving away free memberships with every Pot and Pie purchased at the Ascot Vale Hotel, we're actually doing pretty well.  It's called the One pot Screamer meal deal!

All those Bombers members are currently getting good value for money!

The Victorian clubs above us would be near their peak as they've all played finals or coming off playing finals in recent years. Almost 30,000 members is an awesome effort by the RFC without the bandwagon effect these other clubs have had.
