Been a member since 1990. Can't see that changing. I won't the dills incharge spoil my enjoyment. Besides if I don't renew I'll have the toger mobile around harrassing me, and I won't receive important documents like the member survey of a few weeks back.
I love the club. My dad's a member, sees about 3 games a year, comes down from Echuca. My daughters don't know it yet but they're Richmond supporters too. We'll keep supporting the club, or there won't be a club to support.
Fair weather supporters give us the s@#ts. Stick through thick & thin.

Richmond are killing my interest in football.
With a family, I cannot justify giving them any money next year, as we get nothing back - it will be better spent on something else. Richmond have done their dash with me. Go to your room, Richmond!

For years, I wasn't in a financial position
to fork out heap big $$ for memberships every year.
(That's 1 adult, 2 kids and seats - then there's
the various "functions" like the kids clinics etc
that cost $$ as well).
Now that I am, I intend to keep renewing - even
though it really is getting hard to justify the
amount - and the benefits - that is - seeing a
successful team are not currently present, I live
in hope that things will eventually improve.

Thanks spirit. I am very proud to be of service in this case, ha.
The reason I didn't do the club e-survey was that there was no room for opinion. I found it very limited. I'd prefer a survey sent out in the mail with space to justify viewpoints.
I am e-mailing this thread to the club because of the fact that it represents the views of Tiger supporters.
The message here is that people clearly aren't happy with things at present.
Hungry, I understand what you're saying. The AFL is killing my passion for it with it's greed and uneveness.
I love Richmond and will never leave them but this year I've got far more pleasure attending games in the Ovens and Murray league this year.
Country football, where football is still for the people.

I totally agree,
I will also renew my membership as always, being an interstate member and not seeing them that often its more of a donation than a membership.
I've been informed of someone registering a few times to vote for the buy a membership option and support for Danny so I've locked voting. It's supposed to be one vote per person.
Comments are still welcome though. I'm sure the club will be interested in reading them.

Whoever that person was should be ashamed of themselves and IMO should be banned from this site. This is a serious poll and as Rosy indicated she is going to email the club with the results.
Anyway I thought you could only vote once - how can you rig it?
Not sure if you can rig it really Harry. I get some idiotic e-mails at times and this one was probably just someone with nothing better to do with their time than try and stir things up a bit.
Believe it or not we do have a couple of serial nusciances around here. :
I locked the poll just in case someone does know how to rig it.
Comments are more important really anyway.

Howcan you vote more than once, you click on it and then all you see is results in future. Doesnt make sense. If it is the case though it is not int the spirit of things.

You rig the polls by registering under many usernames so you are then allowed many votes (one vote per username). Agree it's petty and childish Shawry.
Anyway I'll be renewing my membership. Just because Danny, Beck and co have done their best to continue a 20+ year tradition and stuff-up the club on-field, I won't be joining them by hurting the club off-field ( financially). Protest by all means via email, mail, phone, signs at the remaining matches telling spud to quit and/or go to the AGM. Just don't join Danny and the duds and hurt OUR Club as well.
I will be renewing my membership again, to me it is about the history of the club and the jumper. Even if the current players aren't making us proud, I just remember the players who came before them, how can we abandon them and the players who are coming after them.
Jack Dyer, Tom Hafey, Sheeds, Kevin Bartlett, Michael Roach, Bourkey (Francis not David), Knighters (we want a club for him to come back to) and one of my faves Benny Gale (sorry the tasmanian coming out in me) to name just a few.
We have a proud heritage and I am not letting them destroy that and either should any of you, a club is about the past, future and present.
GO TIGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosy I would be interested in hearing the clubs resonse to this as well. It should set of some alarm bells if they are at all serious about their supporters
The biggest worry with these survey results are that i'd imagine Tiger die hards are reading this forum board, and we only have 52% saying they'll definitely renew next year.
Bearing that in mind, what would be the result of this survey if it was put to every Richmond member?
My guess is that this figure would be closer to 30%
I WILL renew my membership next year as always, but these are the questions i'd like answered - clearly, NO DRIBBLE:
- why the support for a coach that either has no game plan, or cannot get the players to follow it?
- Why support a coach that concedes games eg. Essendon when only 27 points down at half time?
- Why support a coach that can't even say one sentence without putting a negative spin on it ie. "try and pinch the game" "we're a chance hopefully if we can close down their running game" etc etc
- Why support a coach that DOES NOT give the younger players a chance to get into the tempo of senior football?
- We have gutted our list outside our core players by recruiting hacks instead of youth. This has cost us 3 years of depth and development, the worst effects of which HAVE NOT been felt yet! The coach and the rest of the football dept HAVE TO BE held accountable for this.
I wonder whether Miller realises he stuffed up big time by removing the clause in Frawley's contract. This stuff up will be magnified if we were to sack Frawley at years end (which we all now know won't happen). Is Miller trying to save face by keeping Frawley on??? After all, the decision to remove the clause would cost us upward of $300,000 if we did drop the axe.
The whole situation makes me feel sick in the guts.
