Given the loss and the bye that'll be close to our official membership figure for this year. Congrats and well done to the RFC  .  We should in 2007 pass the 30,000 ticketed mark and build up the numbers from there as the team and results improve on the field.

Record membership for Tigers in 2006!
5:04:21 PM Wed 28 June, 2006

Richmond has broken its all-time membership record . . .

As at the close of business yesterday, the Tigers had signed 29,356 members for the 2006 season, passing its record of 29,351, which was set in 1999. The Club also has more than 7000 non-ticketed members.

“It’s a wonderful achievement to break the ticketed membership record in 2006,” said the Club’s General Manager, Consumer Marketing Trent Jacobs.

“We have steadily climbed to this point over the past five years, which has been as a result of increased service provision, greater recognition of members and, generally, improving the overall membership experience.

“I think this record-breaking achievement is testament to the fact our membership department has improved in many areas, and it’s also reflective that the Club is headed in the right direction and we have our members’ buy-in.

“I’d also like to take the opportunity to again thank our members for their support.

“Over the past five years we haven’t experienced a lot of success, but our members have continued to back us and this is really appreciated by all the Club’s stakeholders.

“Our retention rates are climbing every year and we look forward to this trend continuing, as we set ourselves to break through the 30,000 barrier for the first time, in 2007.”

Official club membership figures submitted to the AFL close on June 30. So, for those Tiger supporters, who are yet to ‘Feel the Tribal Fever’ in ’06, Friday is your last chance.

when does membership sales officially close?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they ever close, it's just that I think you have to get in before July 1 to be able to access finals tickets.

[PuntRdRoar]

Lets hope the club has kept its expenditure in check and they report a half decent profit. By the way, anyone found out he much we made from the Collingwood gate?

Thats a great result. Why because we rank 1 in junior membership. And it sort of means that maybe we didnt completely lose a generation of support over the past 25 years. Looking good for the future I think. See what a great mascot and song can do lol.
