Any OERites heading over to Beaconsfield for the open twilight training session on Friday?

Why isn't this at Punt Rd?
How hard is it to arrange a freakin open training session?

Not sure what your issue is HRT?

read the very first post in this thread

Says they are doing 3 open training session instead of 1 family day

2 of the 3 said open training session will be at Punt Road in March

Dunno why we bother down there tbh.


Because the club has deal with Parklea Developers down there. Which they seem to be committed to and prepared to honour unlike another deal they once had   :whistle

Wasn't there a pillar in our grand strategy about having a deeper understanding of the fans? Or is it having a deeper understanding about making more money from the fans?  Either way, apart from a pretty good customer service team in the membership department, the rest is pretty poor. Having any open training session away from punt rd in metro melbourne ends up disengaging someone.

While I understand your point their argument would be they are actually engaging fans as it is taking the players to people who would not be able to get to Punt Road

I won't be going BTW, over an hours drive to get down there

You could argue the start time of 4pm is stupid with so many people back at work getting there between 4-5 is near on impossible

So It doesn't matter what they do here someone is not going to like it....you know the old saying you can't please everyone

Is there any plan to live-stream the session on the web site?  That would be awesome!     :gotigers 
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

So don't complicate it further by taking training somewhere which benefits a minority of fans.
Punt Rd has been home for most of us our entire lifetime.
Not sure why they even felt the need to change it in the first place....

Disappointed but think it is fantastic the RFC see the benefit in bringing the brand to the outer suburbs. Not all supporters live in or near inner Melbourne thus don't get the chance to see the boys run around.
