as mentioned on the 5th quarter. they will provide a report on it later in the show. now before i abuse the club and criticise anyone who would be in favour of this, is anyone able to elaborate on the idea? how many games, how many years, etc? feeling very worried about this...

Richmond in Tassie?
- Thread starter Ian4
- Start date
Is this just a media beat up based on what Benny gale said to the Hobart Mercury? (article posted in the journo thread)
Tassie Tigers ???................Nice familiar ring to it !!! Look forward to seeing the ferals react to this story, let me get the popcorn ready !!!
I certainly won't be voting for it whatever the deal is.
If the club is run properly we shouldn't need to be selling home games for cash grabs.

Same here. We've got more supporters down there than in the NT + nice place for a weekend holiday.LeeToRainesToRoach said:
All part of Benny's plan to eliminate the debt I suppose. I'd be for it IF we as members are compensated appropriately and that it;s only a 2-4 year strategy not a long term one.
i just pullled out a couple of quotes from the article.
http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2010/04/22/141455_afl.html
- the board better not support it
- the members better not support it
- the tasmanian govt might not suport it considering the amount of taxpayers money they're giving to hawthorn
- and to the AFL - well they can just *smile*
damn straight.
there is no harm in a one off home game on the gold coast a lot of you said. i said that one game will open up a can of worms. then came darwin. now talk of tassie. so who was right?
then after 2-4 years the club will find another excuse to continue playing home games there or somewhere else.

Even when where not playing where still getting bagged,
During tonight's port and saints game shultz miskicked and missed the target by 20 metres, either quartermaine or lane said that was a "Richmond kick"
Then on the radio, they were talking about Richmond, when they were meant to be talking about the swans and west coast game.
We must be helping them get a audience,
That's why we might be ok playing games elsewhere till we improve, because those games wont be on free to air, mostly on FOX
I think if we can go along with it and allow them improve not in the lime light... its not a bad move..
Out of sight - out of mine

I want to support a team thats flushed with cash, if we're to be competitive off the field we need this type of money especially if we're not getting sponsorship deals that are as lucrative as other clubs. If we lose 2 home games for the next 4 years, I'd be willing to take that hit if it means an extra mil or more.

Chillout Ian.
What's wrong are you scared of flying or something.
If it'd gonna get the club back on track and make us finacial again and we get compensated with another game to go to at the G like other teams do i don't see the problem.
win/win

gawd you obviously never read my posts last year re the home game on the gold coast. the apathy from RFC supporters about this issue on this website was mind boggling imo. do you remember Meltiger? well he was as passionate about this issue as I was - maybe moreso, but you guys frustrated him so much that he's rarely on here anymore. he was just too disgusted by a lot of ppl's careless attitudes.

I would say Hawthorn are a club that have sold their soul.
They don't have anywhere near as big a supporter base as us and we shouldn't need to sell our soul also.
As much as I hate Collingwood & Essendon, I respect them for not selling off home games.
