Last season was a great year for our Premier Squad. We made it all the way to the big dance of the Fox Memorial and just fell short of glory by a whisker. The attendances to games, the support for our boys and the whole club in general during the 2023 season was phenomenal. That support grew due to the success our fox team experienced on the field. Crowds packed out Grey Lynn Park like the good old days. The vibe was memorable and inspiring.
We want to maintain the same type of support for our club this season and every other season going forward. To do that we believe that fielding a highly competititve Fox Memorial team is pivotal in maintaining that same type of support.
Maintaining a successful premier team does require financial backing. We found that Sponsorships, Donations and other areas of funding fell short of making budget for our premier team. Therefore we have to find other ways to fund our Premier campaign. Gone are the days when players would play for free or for some of Lindsay's famous Chop Suey and Rice lol. Therefore to help with the ongoing costs of fielding a competitive fox memorial team we have created an exclusive club to support our Premier Squad now and into the future.
The club is be called "The Richmond Gentlemen's Club". Annual membership is $200. Membership will come with benefits some which are listed below.
All proceeds will go towards our premier campaign and help towards keeping our premier team competititve.
