Family Day

[IDGAF]

Well thats what we in the north & north/west have been doing for 30 odd years IDGAF.

You guys in the east have had it since day dot, i suppose its only fair that we get a go dont you think !!

But best its held at punt road where everybody is happy

I've had my little sook and moved on

We'd love to see everyone out there. I understand there are a few complaints at the venue choice, but Punt Road right now is a construction zone and not really appropriate for 3-4k people to be at one time, especially with all that rain last week the ground was flooded and some areas in the ME Bank Centre were also partially flooded.

We'll have players, merchandise, membership, Clive Peeters will be there with some interactive zones, face painting, 20 lucky kids getting the chance to hand their heroes their jumpers for the year, should be a fun day.

Hi RFC_O,

If we ordered a scarf with our memberships, are we able to pick it up from the Family Day?
Also - will the 2011 Tiger is Stirring Hoodies be on sale here?

Thanks in advance

Scarf yes
Hoodies maybe...theyre supposed to arrive on Friday so we should have them by Sunday. T-Shirts at a minimum

It's only one day, Iddy.
The Punt Rd complex is still in Richmond. The social club is still in Richmond. We are still Richmond.
Of the Melbourne-based clubs only us, Western Bulldogs, Carlton and North Melbourne are actually based in their suburbs. The rest moved or are in the process of moving.
Our future in Richmond is shored up long term.
The family day is only one day and I don't have a problem with it.

IIRC, we've technically we don't actually played in Richmond...The border is Punt Road, and we're on the 'wrong' side.

As for those complaining about Cragieburn...We got a MCG sized training ground there, cheap, due to a great deal of assistance from the local council. I don't think having the reserves play there and the occasional 'event' staged there is too high a price to pay for that.

Carlton are charging 10 bucks a head ( adult) to attend their family day or 25 for a family.

Those money hungry pricks are unreal.

LOL that is ridiculous!

... by dishonouring the former heartland in the east ... heartland consisting mainly of Gen "X"ers who have ridden out 25 years of shyte from this club who by and large have grown up , gotten married and are raising families of their own , for the most part still in Melbournes East..... but now we have to trek to "mars" should we wish to try and instill the Tiger heritage into our kids who for the most part struggle to understand our stout and resolute passion for this club that has let its "heartland" down for so long .

Puzzling

If only you were this keen to go to games still

Does the money have to be put in brown paper bags?

Here's the layout for Family Day, in all its graphical glory

Sorry, but this is an effing disgrace.

Perhaps charge non-members a small fee, but what a joke. It actually disgusts me, and yet I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[THE_GUN]

Carlton and corruption go hand in hand !

They'll probably count them as members as well!

Good luck with the Family Day all! Sadly will here.

Anyone make it up there today? Unfortunately I couldn't get there.

Couldn't get there either.. Had a few too many beers last night at etihad.. Keen to know how it went..

 

[scarecrow2k1]

In Carlton's defence, Members get in for free. But still, I disagree with that and feel a gold coin donation is all that should be charged

There is no defending the money hungry cheats !

Yeah look I don't agree with it but I see the logic. I still think that no one is gonna pay $10 to go, if you're already holding the event may as well let people in for $1. They'll make it back in future support, memberships sold and merch sold.

I went,

Good turn out - Benny spoke well. Told a great story about 3 "senior" women who travelled from Frankston, via train,tram,train & bus to get there. One has been a member for 61 years ! Heart and soul stuff. Glad we don't charge 25 bucks for this. My first time to see the facilities out there. All very clean and new. Really is a growing area. Benny also mentioned people had travelled down from Seymour so catered well for those north of melbourne.

The band that played were great.

Clive Peeters have deals for members - good to see . here are some pics

Some of the crowd

The players on stage - nice touch with kids handing them the jumper.

Oh this is the garden at the Melbourne Club - it was open garden scheme there today so popped in on the way home !

I hear what you are saying iddy but for me it was a lot easier to have it at Craigieburn... nearly an hour less travel time for me from Echuca.
But I would still have rathered to have to travel to Punt Road.
Was a good day>

Bloody Oath - cost me 6 bucks to have a squizz.

* money goes to the open garden scheme people, not the melb club.
