Gary March is about to hand over the reins of the Richmond presidency . . .
March, who has served as the Club’s president since 2005, announced early in the year that he would relinquish the role at the end of the 2013 season.
“I’ll stick around till the Jack Dyer Medal, which is on the 30th of September and, probably a couple of days after that, I’ll step down and we’ll announce who takes over from me,” March said on 3AW.
“It will come from the existing board. It will be resolved fairly quickly and it’ll be a seamless transition.”
Under March’s presidency, Richmond has ticked off many significant achievements, including the impressive new football facilities at the ME Bank Centre, Punt Road Oval, the reconfiguration of the ground’s playing surface, eradication of the Club’s $4 million debt, more than 60,000 members (the third highest in the competition) and a return to finals football for the first time in 12 years.
