PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum
Richmond are winless after 11 rounds. The Tigers are often reported as being the worst performed team in a generation. Richmond is maligned for "sacking" coaches and "eating their own".
Richmond has been to hell and back financially, emerging from disaster with the Save Our Skins campaign.
Board Members have come and gone, as have players. Our recruiting has also been critisized.
But on Friday night it can be seen why Richmond, with all that has gone before it, is still there, still going, and should never fade away.
On a cold and drizzly Friday night, with no wins to its name Richmond played Melbourne, also hapless at the halfway mark of the AFL Season.
46, 161 people passed through the turnstiles. It was hard to accurately gauge how many supporters from either club attended, but one thing is sure. Richmond supporters well out numbered those of Melbourne.
I would take a guess and say about 40,000 of those attending the game were Richmond Supporters, with many displaying their colours, with flags or banners, or dressed proudly in yellow and black.
Richmond will rise with such support. With so much dispassion and lack of true members with other teams, they will fade and die, merge or relocate.
With Richmond's membership hovering around 30,000 and support like that shown on Friday night, take a bow Tiger Fans, take a bow.
