The Tigers had their first training session on the redeveloped Punt Road Oval, at the ME Bank Centre this morning.

The $1.9 million redevelopment was made possible through support for the Club’s Fighting Tiger Fund.

The ‘Roar is Back’ in 2013, become a member of Richmond today.

The oval’s facelift began six months ago, and involved significant work, which included replacing unsuitable soil, installing a new drainage system and irrigation, and laying new turf.

Due to works around the oval still being undertaken, unfortunately there are no open training sessions available for fans.

The Club will inform the public of the next open training sessions at the ME Bank Centre, via richmondfc.com.au.

Richmond is holding an open training session in Pakenham on Australia Day Eve, Friday, January 25, at Toomuc Recreation Reserve. More details will be available soon.
