25. Early 90's was a mostly dark period with membership not yet a must-have for regulars, I'd be very surprised if there are any more than a couple of thousand.
Ah right, what is the difference between this and the gold membership? I checked mine and I'm up to 21 years this year, but as I'm an original VFL member(now AFL club support member) I think I am at around 29 years.

Don't think there's any difference other than the title.

The different levels are detailed under 'REWARDS AND RECOGNITION' at this link.

If you want your recognition gap fixed, AND you still have your old membership cards, contact the club.

For me they just needed to see a pic of the old memberships, and they were happy to correct the record

Nah mate it is all good. My years of membership is right. When I said my VFL membership I was referring to VFL park membership. In 92 ish, it changed to AFL membership( to pay for the Great Southern Stand) and the Club Support Package was formed. So I have AFL membership of about 29 years, and RFC membership of 21 years.

Interesting thread, do you think that having RFC_Official around stops people claiming to have an inside source about random crap that never turns out to be true? Or do you still get those people?

He's here for off field issues so on field crap is always posted

It helps for many things off field.

For rumors, the best example I can think of is a few years ago people here were claiming we were after Fevola, I was able to jump in and tell the truth which was it isnt true. I went to the GM of Footy to posting here in a few minutes. But yeah, if people are blatantly lying I normally jump in as well.
 
Having just returned from the US and witnessing the respect they offer their military personnel at sporting events (eg introducing a returned serviceman to the crowd), it's sadly something the AFL nor AFL clubs don't do apart from ANZAC Day. Maybe there's an opportunity for the Tiges to take the lead on this front and find an opportunity for a member of the military at our home games? In my eyes this could be a nice touch and well respected by the broader community!

I got back last week and noticed this too. However it's not only at sporting events they do it. I was at the airport and a bunch of servicemen got off another plane and there was an announcement over the PA and everyone started clapping, and they also randomly walk up to them to thank them for their service at any time, anywhere. It's just not something ingrained in our culture here for it to get to the same level IMO

Yeah I agree and it's very noticeable. Just think there could be an opportunity to do something a little different which is a good thing overall.

Without disrespecting their service, it's because America spends 10x at least on military and market it through sporting events etc. If done respectfully then I don't mind it being a part of the game. It's one reason ANZAC Day games are so special, because we don't lower its meaning through other days. Hard balance.
 
Hello Stig,
When is all the light entertainment back on Richmond FC. Love to watch Hello Newman, Inside Tigerland and Talking Tigers?

We will be doing that for our Anzac Eve game and hope to be making that game a tradition.
