Richmond has set a new Christmas membership record . . .
As at close of business yesterday (Tuesday, December 21), the Tigers had broken through the 12,000 membership barrier for the first time in the lead-up to Christmas.
The Club had 12,149 ticketed members, a 12.7% increase on the corresponding time last year, and 2914 non-ticketed members, which is 15.2% up.
“It has been very pleasing to see such a terrific response from our existing and new members’ pre-Christmas,” said Richmond’s Consumer Marketing Manager Trent Jacobs.
“There is definitely an air of excitement with the positive changes that have been made over the past 4-6 months at the Club, and this has been reinforced by our membership tallies before Christmas.
“Moving into 2005, we are looking forward to all areas of the Club uniting and moving forward with plenty of optimism. An integral ingredient for this to come to fruition will be to ensure that our members and supporters are 100% behind us.
“We’re confident that we’ll continue to receive a great response from the Yellow and Black faithful in 2005 . . .”
*Please note that the Richmond Football Club offices will be closed from 5pm on Thursday, December 23 and will reopen on Wednesday, January 5.
