Oh by all means, laugh away! It is quite laughable!
As it stands, I have a card that I’m led to believe will get me in… I’ll believe that when I see it on Sunday.
I think there’s an element of gimmick/fad about Richmond membership at the moment. Not to be disparaging to the tigers who everyone knows have a huge latent supporter base, but that sort of new member increase points very much to a “it’s the cool thing to do” mentality in heartland Richmond. Just my perception. Apparently the Pies aren’t offering up their memebrship numbers this year, such has been the downturn, suggested it’s down to around 65k.
There really should be a priority for members with “x years of membership”. Feel sorry for the genuine Tigers members who have stuck by their club for years to probably miss out on GF tickets to Johnny come lately’s who only joined recently.
