..From the Game Day Hub page on the Club's website

"Saturday’s game against the Bulldogs will be the Club’s inaugural Strong & Bold Foundation Match - with Richmond promoting the importance of donations towards the Punt Road Oval redevelopment.

By supporting the ‘Brick by Brick’ campaign the Tiger Army can help salvage the original bricks from the Jack Dyer Stand, so they can be built into the new facility.

You can help build our future, Tiger Army!"

Going by the AFLW draw for season 2024 it looks like works are not likely to start before November  >:(

Fairly pathetic given we moved all last seasons AFLW home games to accomodate the building works

From the Prez:

Our recent Strong and Bold Foundation match against the Western Bulldog was a great success and raised important funds that will support the delivery of the Punt Road Oval redevelopment. Our “Brick by Brick” campaign has already raised more than $250,000 and I thank every person who has donated. We all know how critical this project is to the future of our Club. The ambition is for us to commence works by the end of this year.

Umm no,

You haven't included the $10mil the Club is putting in.

So by my maths it's $24.75mil to go

Not that we know the exact number as the haven't said, for reasons that only they can explain

What concerns me more is the last sentence... in 4 weeks it appears starting seens to have gone from 3rd qtr of 2024 to "by the end of the year"

 :help

John O'Rourke spoke to the Club XIII group at half time of the Bulldogs game.  The project is shovel ready.  Cost is $100M if we start this year.  He indicated a strong desire to start in Dec. We have a bit over 80% of the funds to date from a combination of:
- Fed and State Gov,
- City of Yarra,
- MCC
- Benefactors
- Club

Looking to get to 90/95%+ so as not to put the club into an insurmountable debt.  We raise another $10 mill and we should be good to go.  This Saturday should help.

I was there that night and I have to disagree with starting in December, he said late 3rd qtr or early 4th qtr of 2024 which to me means Sept or October. He repeated that when someone from our table stopped him for a quick chat on his way out.

While I understand the not wanting to go into "insurmountable" debt (the Club cannot and shouldn't do that) and in a perfect world you'd avoid any debt the fact is the Club needs to be prepared to borrow to get this project done.

If the plan is to wait until they get to 95% then in the current economic climate we are looking at another delay and for me at least that is unacceptable. There have been enough delays (again just my take)

They have completely stuffed this up IMO. Permit issued when prices werent through the roof and we were playing descent footy, so whose bright idea was to delay the start?

If dealing with government grants from state and fed governments (especially when involving funds promised by the previous liberal government before the last federal election) is the same for AFL clubs as it is for local clubs, then I can fully understand why this project has been delayed.

Govt funding not an issue here, already been received both Fed and State

I would have thought our Pres has these type of projects for breakfast given his background.
So maybe the club is just being prudent .
To be honest I’m not sure what to make of all this , a bit above my head
