News $2.2 million operating profit for 2010

[drusswaylander]

For those who are interested and yes I realise that doesn't include you Aphrodite...

Bulldogs $5,899,076

Brisbane and Geelong have mixed membership and gate receipts.

Still surprised that the "when it suits stickler for detail March" doesn't have a more detailed breakdown. They even seem to have mixed up the AFL dividend in there somehow, just to confuse things even more.

Now for the love of the children someone stop me...I blame you ODN

Sorry...I swear I am not a nerd...despite evidence to the contrary in this thread

I think you misunderstood my post druss.

I was referring to Richmond's M/ship tally which I have no interest in whatsoever or anything to do with the RFC

Lol...I see. Unfortunately I seem to have discovered a masochistic streak, I will seek help for this problem

I must have had one for bloody years then.
I've probably got something to recommend for you.

A Tigers membership














That is a life sentence

Life sentence? I thought they all got torn up in March

 

[drusswaylander]

Very good people...cracked me up

Although hot coffee up my nose, as I guffawed, probably hasn't helped me overcome my newly found masochistic streak.

 

[peejay]

Yup, can wrap this Tiger incursion up I think. Not the place for to and fro between rival supporters.

Tigerwill, there are ticketed and unticketed members. Richmond traditionally count all in the one tally. The AFL release the official membership numbers as there is a minimum membership level that gets counted.

got that wrong - traditionally we seperated them, in fact we were the only club that did that.

You must have stopped reading.

You must have stopped reading.

I must admit i did !!!!!

 

[drusswaylander]

I guess you have to hand it to him, March certainly knows how to play his members

It feels like it.
Hopefully parole is coming up.

Yep looking good...3 final series in the next four years, including a top four spot and 75,000 members. Looking good for the Tigers

March? Give us, the long suffering some credit, maybe July
But to the loyal, it goes on (and on).

No point in settling for a low target.
Can't say we haven't got ambition, just got to get the ability. (working on it)

I'm not sure that you should have aimed so low. Unrealistically low in my opinion. What does March do for a crust these days?

Only time will tell.
Not sure what he does. (In training as Kennetts understudy? )

Might need more of a media profile to match Kennett

I was just wondering what March brought to your club as Pres?

Other clubs have champion ex players, prominant business people, high media profiles etc etc. I'm just not sure where March fits in, given he is such an integral part of your finance committee and an expert on other clubs financial practices

Is he a financial wizard? Multi millionaire, billionaire?...What exactly is he?

Tried to google him.
Wiki says he's an Australian investor. Founder and director of Concept Sports, now known as Beyond Sportswear Ltd. Not sure whether he has any involvement now though. Must have a bit of dough.
Hafta find out what he actually does now, you've got me intrigued.

So let me get this right...you don't know what your Pres does and you didn't realise that your six years of profit actually relied on grants etc to be correct. Why are you wasting time on our club? You should be learning about your own, especially with an election

I take it March's reign has been filled with success both on and off the field to generate this blind faith then?

I take it Concept Sports and Beyond Sportswear limited are/were successful companies with high share prices and strong profit results?

Why must he have a bit of dough?

Why are you intrigued now, shouldn't you have been intrigued as to March's economic credentials before you jumped into a debate on Carlton's financials on the back of your presidents comments.

I will give credit where it is due, March certainly knew which button to push to distract his members from looking into his own credentials and club finances.

He's a smoke and mirrors expert. The sponsors are bailing again, and March basically keeps massaging the numbers on the balance sheet to try to hide their shaky financial situation. Even the media aren't falling for it this year (e.g The Age article).

Unfortunately Concept Sports is/was not the greatest business success story.

Concept Sports directors penalised
While the settlement's terms are confidential, it is believed Mr March - who is president of the Richmond Football Club - and Mr Taylor will be required to make extra contributions as co-defendants in the action.
In July, the company requested the Federal Court delay the trial because it could not afford legal representation. It recently posted an $11.2 million loss for the financial year, and its auditors warned its ability to continue operating was in doubt

Interesting to note another former Richmond president, Leon Daphne, was also caught up in this fiasco which saw misleading statements made in a company prospectus.

Looks like the RFC & March's company use the same Auditors ............

At least it is good to see that March has learned from past mistakes and doesn't over promise anymore...but wait 3-0-75

1.Why do I need to know what he does? At least I'm honest about it.
2. Not all the 6 years of profit relied on grants
3. At least you blokes can fill me in.
4. Success, no but improving.
5. I don't think he's still involved, not as a listed director.
6. Nice of you to give others credit.
7. Yep we made a profit again this year, even taking out the grants.
