MC24, I admire your passion with this.
I think that the AFL will sooner or later dictate that all clubs will need to have an away strip. Now being realistic, if the TV networks ask enough, and use a bit of ransom over future TV contracts - it will happen.
So looking on from this, I think it would be best that the club be prepared and develop an away strip.
I love the tiges and have had about 10 jumpers over my life time. I love the tiger jumper and like you would hate to see it go if only for away matches, but Richmond plays in the AFL, and ultimately the AFL dictates these things.
Of course this may never, ever happen....
