when is this actually starting?

Gale said all the plans and permissions are in place, but the board and him are hesitant to take on exhorbitant debt in the current financial climate. It will probably be quite awhile until it gets underway

Does that mean he walks straight into the club as a player ?? Can dream can’t we?

He'd be a small forward these days though.

It's pretty mind-blowing by Gale considering every other club are starting to build their multi million dollar facilities (Adelaide, Hawthorn, Melbourne) and other clubs who were already millions in debt built anyway (St Kilda, North Melbourne).

I say mind-blowing because the AFL just bail out the poor clubs anyway.

Richmond will urge its Tiger army to help fund rebuilding its Punt Rd headquarters “brick by brick” in a nod to its yellow and black past designed to lock in the long-term future of the venue.
It comes as the cost of a state-of-the-art redevelopment of the Punt Rd Oval has ballooned from about $65m to about $100m.
The club will on Monday announce a unique fundraising drive to deliver world-class facilities that will keep the Tigers in Richmond for generations to come.
The campaign will ensure every salvageable brick from the soon to be demolished Jack Dyer Stand, built in 1914, is cleaned and placed into the foundation of a major redevelopment of the Punt Rd Oval.

Bricks from the soon to be demolished Jack Dyer Stand will be cleaned and placed into the foundation.

The redevelopment is designed to lock in the long-term future of the venue.
Fans will be urged to make a donation that will be used to clean and repurpose the bricks to use in a new, larger Jack Dyer Stand.
The redevelopment will also add a realigned, MCG-sized oval to Punt Rd and high quality training facilities for Richmond’s women's team.
Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale told the Herald Sun the revamp would honour the legacy of Tigers legend Dyer and be the most historic infrastructure upgrade in the club’s history.
“All the permits have been issued, which is wonderful, so the last 12-18 months we’ve had quite a significant fundraising program and we’ve made substantial ground.” he said.

The revamp will add high quality training facilities for Richmond’s women's team.

Brendon Gale says the revamp will honour the legacy of Tigers legend Jack Dyer.
“But along the way our members and fans have asked how they could get involved and we always said we would preserve some of the heritage elements of the old Jack Dyer Stand – some of the bricks and timbers.
“Now we are and they will form part of the new development, which gives our hard core fans an opportunity to support a transformative project.”
Mr Gale said about 50,000 bricks taken from the existing Jack Dyer Stand would be incorporated in the new development, with about 1800 seats under cover and capacity for up to 8000 fans in total.
“It is capturing the past and investing in the future, which will be the new Jack Dyer Stand,” he said.

Gale says it is capturing the past and investing in the future.
But he revealed the cost of the project had increased “significantly”, since first being mooted in 2020.
“As we’ve come out of Covid, like a lot of construction projects, there have been cost escalation issues with materials, supply chains and labour, so we’ve had to sort of recalibrate to some extent,” he said.
“It’s a big project and it’s an investment worth making in our future but it’s getting up to six figures – ballpark $100m.”

He said features of the revamp such as putting three levels of parking underground had added to the cost.
“But it’s a legacy that is going to serve the club and its stakeholders for the next 100 years really,” he said. “We just need to take this opportunity now.”
Donations of more than $2 will be tax deductible, with fans gifting $200 or more to receive a digital commemorative certificate acknowledging donation of a brick.
