Answer 4

leaving so they can train on a decent size ground over summer, that's all, couple of training runs during the year, why all this miss reporting?  go tiges.

Answer 5

Richmond are staying where they are. They are actually building a new training facility at Punt road next year. The move is over summer.

As Punt road is used by the Richmond cricket club it is sometimes unavailable for preseason training. Due to this Richmond has secured a summer training facility in Craigeburn (27 km north of the city). The complex includes two ovals with one as large as the MCG's playing surface and another multipurpose area. It will have everything needed for training purposes (except I believe a pool) and practise matches in preseason.

It is costing 15 million, but costs the club nothing. This is great business sense for Richmond to get a purpose built training facility for nothing. It is something North should have looked at as local sponsorship of the ground apparently ends up in the Tigers bottom lime.
