Tigers disappointed with crowds
« on: May 06, 2007, 05:37:41 AM »
Richmond's membership hit a record 29,426 this week, but president Gary March said the club was hampered by an inability to match the richer clubs in spending.

The Tigers have been disappointed with crowds in the opening five rounds.

Hate to state the bleeding obvious but.... we aint winning and by default the crowds aren't coming
