Three lucky, loyal Richmond members were today announced as winners of the Club’s “Double Up” promotion.
They have won travel, accommodation and tickets to the inaugural Richmond v Gold Coast game, which will take place in Cairns on July 16.
The lucky winners were Neil Smith of Narre Warren, Damon Shinnick of Glen Iris and Susan Brown of Mooroolbark. All three of them attended the Round 6 game against Brisbane and the Round 7 game against Fremantle, and subsequently went into the draw to win a trip for two to Cairns.
The competition was a resounding success, helping Richmond to break its all-time crowd record for a match against Brisbane, and the record for a clash with Fremantle in Melbourne.
“Naturally, we had some concerns when we drew interstate clubs Brisbane and Fremantle for consecutive home games,” said Richmond CEO Brendon Gale.
“We wanted to be as proactive as possible in ensuring that we attracted reasonable crowds to the games and, in the end, those who attended were rewarded with some very exciting football from our young, developing side.
“While we congratulate the winners of the competition, we would also like to thank all our members who attended both games.
“Crowds and membership numbers are key indicators that allow us to successfully drive our off-field business and we are very thankful for the outstanding support of the Tiger Army.”
