Coburg Membership

[DC8]

Has anyone else bought a Coburg membership this year? At $27 for RFC members it seems damn good value. I intend to try to get to a few games this year (especially to watch Raines and Roach play ).

Having Des Ryan at Coburg will also make a big difference IMHO. A great Richmond man, who's put his heart and soul into our club both on and off the field.

I reckon it's about time we returned the favour - so let's support the kids and get behind the Coburg Tigers. ;D ;D

As much as I dont like Coburg being attached to Richmond, $27 is a great deal for a membership.

Why I dont like the Coburg deal ??? Phil Cleary, thats why. He was in politics and that says it all. Wants to run the show himself.

Know exactly where you are coming from NW. But I'm not going along to cheer the Prez, I'm going to cheer the kids playing and dream of what might be for the tiges in years to come.

Cant wait to get along to see all the kids play

Well, what you do then is get the $66 membership - and vote him
out next time they have an election!

It's quite strange really... all the different opinions on Cleary.
You reckon he wants to run the show himself - but others think
he in the RFC's pockets. One thing I do know, he is acutely aware
that Coburg wouldn't exist without the RFC.

Bak is the Richhmond Coburg membership different to a Coburg membership?
I assumed it was a full membership at a discount price.

The way it was when Cleary got elected was that only "full"
members got to vote for the pres whereas "Richmond"
Coburg didn't.
I don't think they've changed that - but then again, they've not
had an AGM - so it might all have changed. I'm just presuming
that it hasn't. Also, last year "full" members got the occasional
phone call asking them to lob at various "meetings" but last
year was a funny one!

Yeah i get my Coburg membership at the Richmond family day , as they have a table set up there & you get in cheap too...$ 27 sounds good to me....

Most VFL clubs with an AFL alignment have a non-voting membership, which they sell to AFL clubs members.

I guess it is to prevent the AFL clubs members turning up at the AGM and putting through massive changes that would affect the club.

cheers,
