Richmond’s offices at the ME Bank Centre, Punt Road Oval, will be closed from 11am today (Thursday, December 22) until 9am on Tuesday, January 3.

But, for that last-minute Christmas gift, the Tigerland Superstore will remain open until 5pm today, and on Friday, December 23, from 10am-3pm (re-opening on January 3).

And, Tiger fans can still purchase merchandise and 2012 memberships on-line throughout the holiday period.

The players will return to training in the first week of January, with Richmond’s opening round NAB Cup ‘double-header’ against Hawthorn and North Melbourne on February 17.

In the meantime, keep an eye on richmondfc.com.au over the summer break for the best of ‘Roar Vision’ from 2011, a stack of ‘brain-busting’ Tiger quizzes, retro Richmond features, and other articles that will provide you with a decent Yellow and Black fix in the normally barren football landscape of late December-January.

Finally, we wish you and your families a merry Christmas and a safe, happy New Year.
We look forward to hearing that mighty Tiger roar in 2012 . . .
