Pretty annoyed with the way the club went about doing this change (no consultation with members). We have a bit of this about us in a few of our decisions (see replacement board members), but yet preach connection and community (when it seems to suit).
It doesn't feel like the biggest issue going around, but to me the song IS part of being a Richmond supporter. I associate emotionally with many lows (e.g. Geelong PF at Waverley) and some highs as well (esp. GF last year) so it feels a bit of a violation to change it in any way / shape or form.
If they came up with a digital way to swap shin/skin and then put that to a member vote I'd be much happier.
Appreciate another topic on this (http://puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=54175.0), but thought a poll a useful way of collecting the general zeitgeist and feeding it into the club.
To me it's OUR song, and not the club's to chose to change without involving it's >85k membership base.
