Richmond and the Tiger Army are today celebrating a fifth consecutive year of reaching 100,000 members.
The landmark half-a-million memberships over five-years displays the incredible strength of Richmond’s passionate fanbase across an industry-leading period of time.
Richmond became the first Australian sporting club to surpass 100,000 members in 2018, with the Club also breaking its all-time membership record last year.
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said that the occasion was a time to reflect on the Tiger Army’s continued support across a sustained period.
“On behalf of our entire club, playing group, staff, and coaches, I would like to thank each of our loyal members,” he said.
“For these numbers to be maintained through unprecedented times and difficulty is a testament to the loyalty and passion of our members.
“We exist because of our members, and we are so grateful for this milestone.”
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick added that the Richmond members and supporters had been incredible.
“We have 100,000 members because our fans stick behind us in thick and thin. They have been incredible with the support they have given me and our footy club and we know that will continue.”
Thanks to the Club’s Official Membership Partner Crypto.com, Richmond will formally thank the Tiger Army as part of its Round 22 home game against Hawthorn at the MCG.
