Can anyone tell me the pre-match status of the social club? That is, will it be open for a beer out the front?

Last year we could have get a beer and snag before all home games - great way to start the day! But with the redevelopment, I don't know if this is still the case.
 
Correct me if I am wrong, my understanding from what I read in one of the recent newsletters is the following:

No PRE or POST game drinkie poos at Punt Rd Oval at all this year EXCEPT for Sundays Game against Nth Melb for the Eureka celebrations Round 2

All PRE and POST game drinkie poos for RFC HOME GAMES ONLY are at specified areas inside the MCG and Telstra Dome ( cant remember but I think its the Yarra Room at one of the grounds)

Correct. Yarra room at MCG and Victory room at the no-dome.

You pay a premium and as a result you get:

1) guaranteed access of GF ticket when RFC is playing (this has paid dividends so far :rofl)
2) access to the social club post game with a couple of players usually in attendance
3) access to an annual pre-game lunch, where Wright or March tell us how good we are going off-field, and Miller justifies his list management :hihi

Cheers T74.

I'm into my 14th year as a member and I've never heard of it. I just had a quick look at the membership brochure, and could see no mention of it (unless it goes by another name).

So is it only Social Club members that can get access to the PRE and post games drinks?

Not sure, being a Social Club member I only focused on the bit relevant to me (selfish I know :hihi)
 
;D Seeing that the social club is going to *smile* in the face of Normal members i propose the we all meet at

The Royal Hotel . This is the pub where the Richmond football club began. Plenty of drinking to be had & a good show to BOOT.. :clap

:cutelaugh
 
nice for some but what about those with kids???



so does anyone know about the yarra room? is it social members only...if so i propose we all takea few travellers in our car and set up a drinks area after the game at the G. we will hang round in the carpark til the traffic goes anyway so may as well stock the eski with some bevos and food....thats what we will be doing:)
 
Its the Yarra Park Room for the MCG and the Victory Room (named after my dominance of JB03 on PRE) at the Crapstra Dome.

If you contact the club beforehand, a social club member can arrange for guest passes.

Cant quite remember, but I think the letter from the club said that besides pre and post game, you can stay in the Yarra Park Room if you want to during the game, which is a bonus given the facilities etc. (albeit on the 3rd level).

See the right hand side of the page headed Premium Memberships in the 2008 membership brochure, Mr P.

Thanks YT. I needed to click the 'Read More' button!!

Doesn't seem like you get a lot for an additional $230.
