Julia Gillards tipping

[SolidTiger]

The herald sun has Julia Gillard as one of their tippsters. Under the please explain column it says under the Richmond vs Essendon game " I will be making an announcement with the Richmond Football Club before the game.". I wonder what that is about?

More sponsorship for Cragieburn or Punt Road perhaps.

No we would have a wranga with no idea.

 

[Equus]

Either way, that's one ugly kid.

Nevertheless, she won't be the new no.1 ticket holder because she's the bulldogs no.1 ticket holder. So that's out of the question.

Breathe a sigh of relief Peejay.

Who actually is our no1 ticket holder and can we just pretend that someone really important and powerful is ours? 2009 no1 ticket holder Kim Jong Il?

Shooting Richo out of a cannon. Sounds more like a circus than a church...

Well, George Pell was signed up to play for Richmond at one stage, so maybe Pelly has been putting in a good word for Richo to Bob Hope.

$6.75m boost for Tigers

Caroline Wilson and Michael Gleeson | July 19, 2008

THE Richmond football club's long-term future at Punt Road has been guaranteed by a massive multi-million dollar injection from the Federal Government to be announced at today's Richmond-Essendon game by deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

The $6.75 million Federal Government injection into the Punt Road development will ensure that all of the Tigers' planned $19 million training facility and Indigenous Centre of Excellence will be built, to be completed by mid-2010. The redevelopment sees the Tigers rocket into the top echelon of AFL club facilities.

The Government's latest $6.7 million contribution comes on top of $2 million in Federal funds previously committed to the redevelopment, with the new funding to be used largely for the building of the indigenous centre. It is the largest government sum to be contributed to an individual club in AFL history.

It is no coincidence that the announcement comes on the day that Richmond plays Essendon — with the AFL's elite indigenous KickStart camp game as a curtain-raiser — as the two clubs have pioneered the Dreamtime at the 'G game, celebrating aboriginal and indigenous culture and talent in the game.

The rebuilding of Richmond's Punt Road headquarters began with the earlier $7 million construction of the indoor pool, offices and administration centre. The State Government has also contributed $2 million to the total works package, the Yarra Council $2 million, the AFL $1.5 million and the club a further $2 million raised through the Jack Dyer Foundation.

As part of the works, to start in December, the Punt Road Oval will be extended to the same dimensions as Telstra Dome. The surface will also be re-laid and made 'drought-proof'. The old social club building will be pulled down and a community facility and new social club area built.

The Punt Road Oval works are in addition to the new $8 million training centre being built at Richmond's new Craigieburn summer training base.

The cost for that facility is being shared primarily between the State Government and the developer, Stockland, without any financial contribution from the club.

Richmond president Gary March refused to comment last night on today's announcement but is understood to have pledged at a private lunch in the Richmond social club yesterday in honour of the Jack Dyer Foundation that the Tigers would remain at Punt Road for the next 100 years.

The indigenous centre, which has been the brainchild of the club, led by chief executive Steven Wright and strong lobbying from Richmond footballer Richard Tambling, will embrace both male and female members of the indigenous community from around Victoria, who will take part in training at educational facilities shared by the club.

As a result of Richmond's funding coup, the club can now concentrate on repaying a further chunk from its worrying $4 million debt.

Further good news for the club came yesterday with the re-signing of injured champion Matthew Richardson, who will miss today's clash with the Bombers, but remain a Tiger until the end of 2009.

Richmond's indigenous learning centre follows North Melbourne's deal with the State Government, the City of Melbourne and the AFL to create a migrant training centre at Arden Street, which the Kangaroos hope will secure their future in Melbourne.

Excellent work by our admin team.
