Why start a hypothetical thread such as this? Do you think this should be the direction of the club? We dont need extra supporters we need them to sign up and that will only happen with wins on the board so a move to West Sydney would be pointless! They had to merge two western sydney nrl teams out there so i cant see the afl geting much more support than them!

The Richmond Football club is a media and corporate cash cow for the AFL.

We can finish 16th for 10 seasons in a row, the circus that will always follow our club the good and the bad will keep us afloat forever.

it wont happen, but it may happen

if we relocate as sth melb did, i will still support my club, because its the same club just changing residential address

if we merge then afl can get stuffed

Hardly believe it would increase supporter base, in fact I think the opposite would happen and it would erode over time.

It would only be viable for a team with a poor supporter base and that is not RFC.

As the question goes.
I am a Richmond Tigers supporter and member.
And I will always be one no matter what.
I hope this is the answer to your question.  :gotigers

We are too far up the peeking order to be forced to relocate. North, Demons, Dogs and even the Saints would go before we were looked at. The fact that we still generate some of the biggest attendances, membership and media attention shows that with even an ounce of on-field success we would be in the mix with the Pies, Blues and Dons once again as the most supported Victorian club.

Just won't happen
