Richmond will deliver its members and fans a vastly improved open training experience next year, with three fan-friendly upsized training sessions to replace the Club’s traditional family day.

After an analysis of recent family day events, it was determined that overcrowding, and long queues to access player autographs, had reduced fans’ engagement and enjoyment levels.

As a result, the Club will invite fans to three enhanced open training sessions in January and March – one in Beaconsfield, and two others at the Tigers’ home base at Punt Road Oval.

At the sessions, members and fans will be able to watch the players train, access player autographs, enjoy kids’ rides, face painters and activities, and purchase food and drink, merchandise and memberships.

More details about each event will be communicated in the New Year.
