Not if the club's chief operating officer, Michael Stahl, is to be believed: "He claimed the main bar needed a complete overhaul - the timber was rotting and fungus was growing out of holes, while the external walls had severe cracks."

It's that article which made me think of this thread Mr P. I'd be interested to know if it's something the Club embraces for supporters, like an unofficial social club kind of thing, or if it's more intended just as a cash cow.
It isn't mentioned much on here and I'd be interested to know if Richmond supporters have any sense of belonging there due to our involvement.

I used to live reasonably close and visited a couple of times, and for a few games.
For games they put the game on the big screen either downstairs in the bar, or upstairs in a function room. Lots of Tigers, so a good feel.
When it wasn't games, it was just another pokies venue with nothing particular Richmond about it. Perhaps a cabinet with some RFC stuff, but not much more.

Been there a few times. Doesn't seem to be heavily patronised by anyone, let alone Tiger fans.
Ridiculously expensive hire-out fees for functions and poor customer service at management level (one guy in particular who may now be gone) have probably contributed to the lack of patronage.
They wanted $1500 for room hire alone.
And then some insane amount for finger food packages etc.
The location isn't great either.
The food was good last time I went there, even though we were the only ones there.

The club needs to build a proper clubrooms facility at Punt Road IMO, with something that caters for fans.
Absolutely prime real estate with its proximity to the MCG.
