World's biggest suppository.

So is it to be played at the Swans SCG or Giants Engie Stadium? Article mentions both grounds.

Easter show is at the GWS venue hence why the game would be at the SCG

 

[lalorGOAT]

****. No.

Tassie is fine, given our strong history of tassie players and supporters. Anything else is a big no.

It's played at the SCG when the Giant's ground is being used for the Show.

 

[sanaya]

i rate it, should sell all our home games to oppo clubs at their home ground #dougiecochranenomatterwhat

Tourism NSW will probably be chipping in a fair bit, they did have the A Leagues gather round before that got cancelled this year, so there is funds available. Just need to make sure we are selling a marvel game and not an mcg game

 

[Drunken Wookie]

I don't think that's the case. They're just trying to fund the latter stages of the redevelopment.

Say we've run out of money, without saying we have run out of money.

Spent on the rainbow ️ connection

Tassie probably even worse tbh. But there is no way in the world a big club like ours with 100k members for the best part of a decade should be in a position we have to sell home games.

We were told never again with the fighting tiger fund. They’ve welched and that’s unforgivable.

If you want to make money a real novel idea to try is winning games in front of big crowds in melbourne

Fantastic. Get to see the Tigers at the SCG and enjoy a weekend in Sydney with 20,000+ other Tigers. Got to be better than watching them play at an empty Marvel.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Embarrassing

When we aren't competing next year, what's the downside? Good commercial decision

You enjoyed the cairns venture? That was good for our development? Cost us finals in 2012

It might be true, but there’s no risk of that happening in the next two years. I reckon we barely break even at Marvel.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Good to know!

Well this is good then. As a home game member I only go to the G, I never go to that shithole Marvel lol. So for 2 years selling Marvel homes to play in Syd or Tas. Money for jam.

The Velodrome of shiteness lol

Maybe if some of our soft **** fans showed up we’d make money there.

The bandwagoners barely show up at the G these days. Our crowds have been downright embarrassing

What would the attendance be for Richmond v GWS at Marvel? Pretty shit I reckon.

Seems like a good commercial decision, and we’ll pull a good crowd at the SCG.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

What happens when everyone stomps their feet about going to marvel. The league doesn’t just stop giving us marvel games, it just means the board need to find a better alternative than losing money on an empty game like the Gold Coast one.

 

[tugga]

Don't blame them for not wanting to come back to Tassie. It was cold as **** yesterday

Was colder in Melbourne all weekend.
Felt warm on the hill when the sun was out.
Great place for a weekend away.
I’d rather Hobart than Sydney.

Reckon the club could easily pull 30,000 plus at the SCG over an Easter long weekend. Big money our way I reckon. What with not only ticket sales but giving the chance for Richmond fans living in NSW a chance to get to a game and buy heaps of club merch. Our marketing department need to get to work on this. Reckon GWS fans will turn up in their droves too.

18,000 is a low crowd but not empty. That's 18,000 fans that the club has just spat on.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Took their members for idiots trying to get more money out of us with that digital brick bullshit and now they're stooping to this.
This club has seriously ****ed things up since we were dominating on and off the field. I hope to God these kids we've drafted and are going to draft work out because if they don't we're ****ed for a very long time.

Would be lucky to get 12k

Saw Peggy at the airport this morning.
Felt like going up to her and giving her a big hug and pleading with her to come back as president.
