The Richmond Football Club Membership department has launched an innovative clothing line, designed to capitalise on the Tigers' fans greatest strength - their ability to sit through week and week, year after year of disappointment.
Richmond CEO Ian Campbell said, "Yeah look they keep coming up with the goods down there in the Membership Department. The clothing line is based upon the concept that one day, one day soon, the Tigers will once again be a force in football and every closet supporter will come out and claim that they were there in the stands when in fact they weren't. The 18,000 that turn up to the game on Friday will be eligible to recieve a t-shirt or jacket with the words "I was there when we were *smile*". There is a g-rated version which says, "I was there when we were horrible", because we like to think of the kids."
"Underneath the words, you'll be able to put in the dates that you've been a member for, ie how long you've had to sit in the stands and put up with it."
"The aim of the t-shirts is to be warn in the future, and so act as a source of pride in your belief in the team. . .or maybe to prove that you're pretty stupid."
"We reckon they've kicked a goal with this one as well. In fact, we might even put Trent Jacobs (Membership Manager) in a forward pocket this Friday night against the Crows.
