Dear Greg,
With all the negative publicity in the media, leaked private emails, idiotic petitions, alternative tickets and threats of an EGM at a crucial time in our Club's history, we as a group of fed up RFC members felt the need to email you and offer our 100% support towards yourself and all the hard work you are doing to get our Club out of the 20+ year mire it has been in. We value immensely your impartiality and being able to look at our Club objectively as an outsider sees the club, something we just cannot do. The thought that the current mess could result in your departure from Tigerland, the loss of bargaining power to recruit talented players (eg: Travis Cloke) and the real threat that we as a Club will once again miss out on the best coach available is an absolute disgrace. And the unthinkable - indeed, the immediate future of our club seems dire as a result of the current unrest.
After living through the past 20 years of, to put it bluntly, crap, we totally sympathise with your anger and frustrations towards
certain individuals and minority groups who blindly continue to force their own destructive agenda and hold the future of the Richmond football club once again to ransom for their own egotistical and selfish reasons. These people don't speak for us. Unfortunately we as a Club at times are our own worst enemy. Although your email should have remained private, at least some home truths about the Club were finally aired.
We cannot control what people think about the Club on our forum - oneeyed-richmond.com - and nor do we want to - however we do support and respect the privacy of people's personal thoughts expressed in such letters and if any such material was to air itself on our forum, the administrators would delete it immediately.
Hang in there Greg. We're right behind you. Please stay on for the sake of the Richmond Football Club.
Yours the Tiger faithful,
(Names)
