It's disappointing to report that the function organised for July 4 has been cancelled.

Main reasons are poor ticket sales and the withdrawal of Kevin Sheedy as a guest. Essendon have organised a premiership reunion on the same date which Sheeds will be attending.

Anyone who paid for tickets has been refunded.

The Richmond Football Club is now looking at organising something themselves.

With much respect to the supporters group ,maybe it is time to look at affordable functions! Over $600 to take a family is ridiculous. I ran a supporters group for over 8 years for RFC and never charged any more then $25 for any function. Most functions were free and all dollars raised were from raffles where supporters were willing to fork out considerable money for Richmond merchandise. Functions should be family friendly and thousands can still be raised without exorbitant cover charges. This is not the first time the Qld supporters group has charged very high costs to attend. I hope the organisers can look at this issue . If changes are made your functions will be highly successful. Go Tiges!

With all due respect realtiger, this was not a function organised but us but a package that the people who run the Gold Coast Stadium organises. They were good enough to offer this to us exclusively if we could get enough numbers. We decided to run with it an put it out there to see what response we got. The only additional organising we did was to organise Dale Weightman and Kevin Sheedy to attend. When Sheeds pulled out interest dropped and as initial number had been poor we decided to forfeit the invitation from the Stadium people. As this game is on the Gold Coast and most of our members are from Brisbane, it was difficult to organise a cheap aftergame function, as any venue would have been some distance from Cararra. You may or may not know, but it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Also Richmond will now only send 2 or 3 officials to these functions and none are players who have played in the game.

Since then the Richmond Football Club have taken up the option and emailed all people on their Queensland email list to guage interest. Talking to the Club last week they feel they have had enough expressions of interest from supporters to go with it. The price is $150 per adult and $100 per child. Same prices but no speakers and 1 hour less refreshments than we had.

It's funny how the club can get this off the ground, but when we told them initially what we were doing they offered no support at all. They now expect us to support them!! ???

I appreciate your advice regarding the cost of functions and yes some have been expensive, especially for those with the added cost of travelling interestate. However for us who are starved from seeing Richmond play live, (some might say we are lucky at the moment) we are willing to pay out a bit to make the occassion a good time.

Most of the money we raise is from weekly raffles we run at the Easts Leagues Club on a Tuesday night which is run by the same few week in week out. The major functions we have attempted when Richmond play up here have generated poor returns and cost a lot of time by our Supporters Group and in the end costs us time in enjoying the football. I might add that we have been in the top 3 supporters groups in Aus, including those from Vic, in money raised for the club and this will be the first time we have seen Richmond play in a home and away game for 3 years.

Anyway, we'll all be there cheering them on.

If anyone attended the pre or post match functions at the Broadway Hotel last night I would be pleased to receive some feedback.

Personally I had a great time.

We had about 120 at the pre game function and maybe 5/600 back after the game.
I think the last ones left at 2.15am Sunday morning.

Those of us in the Queensland supporters group thought everything went off well but we would be pleased to hear opinions from others, especially those who traveled from interstate.

 

[The tooth]

I came along to the pre and post game at the Broadway with a few mates. Was up from Melbourne for the game.

The event was a fantastic success - excellent pub for it, the trivia, interviews, auctions, past player appearances made for a great warm up for the game. The food came thick and fast. I would certainly attend again if up in Brisbane for a game. Proximity to the Gabba was a big plus. Fleabag a anatural choice for MC. Went back post game for an hour our so and it was truly a yellow and black cauldron, with the theme song belted out with gusto. Thanks for the excellent night and also organising the 4 points

 

[kb7882]

Had a great time after the game at the Broadway. Would have stayed longer, but was a bit tired and emotional after a long day

Thanks to all involved :clap

 

[Streak]

Watching the game on TV, I was really impressed with how many Tigers fans there were in the crowd at the Gabba.

Well done to all who attended and supported the boys :clap

 

[Shauny83]

hrmm well since the broady burnt down.. anyone recommend a pro afl pub with great sports bar facilities, reasonably priced grog, and a biiiig tv ?
oh and food, gotta have food!

 

[Tigerdog]

Pieman or T29 will hopefully post in here soon with some info about where we will meet for the time being. The Broadway is the spiritual home... massive shame it went up in flames. Feel a bit sorry for Big Carl too.
Our game isn't on tv (Ch 7) until midnight Sunday this week anyway Shauny. It isnt on Foxtel either!

 

[Shauny83]

Still trying to find an alternate venue. A local AFL club offered their rooms but apparently they don't sell grog!!

Will post here when we come up with something.

 

[sashback]

Tiger 29, How you goin?

Have you got a list of the foundation members of the Qld Richmond supporters group?
I paid up as a foundation member, got the hat etc. etc, but from a while back, all emails stopped, the website went ar$e up, now I can only find the group on facebook. Is facebook the only site for QLD supporters group to view?

Cheers,

 

[Pieman]

Hey Sashback, We have been going strong all year, Its only that our home, The Broadway Hotel, burnt down a few weeks back, that we have been quiet. The website is in rebuild, but some things are still posted.
It is much easier to just send us an email at [email protected]
We have been watching games at members homes lately. Just got home from the Pres's house. Next week it's at my joint. drop us a line or send me a private message and we will sort you out. cheers
