A step forward, a small victory.

Yesterday the Richmond Football Club President Peggy O’Neal took to the official club website to dispel what she termed as confusion over the Museum and its status. Ms O’Neal stated in her annual pre season address to members that the Museum was firmly in the clubs plans for the soon to begin works at the home of Richmond. CEO Brendon Gale when pushed on the Museum issue late last month said that it would certainly be a part of the redevelopment in some shape or form. Richmond Tigers of Old are claiming a small victory on the issue. It has been heartwarming to see the amount of support we have had in keeping the issue in members and the public’s mind moving forward a spokesman for the RToO committee said. On the seemingly bigger issues of the Jack Dyer Stand and the naming rights of the new centre, the spokesman said that they would continue to monitor developments as they became available. One of the biggest problems we face is the lack of transparency from the club on their exact intentions, members and persons who are interested are often the last to find out, the spokesman said. However he continued we are pleased with the Museum outcome, the challenge now is to make sure it is central and holds pride of place in the new development .
