Bachar Houli has maintained his commanding lead in Richmond’s Operation 10,000 membership campaign early in 2011.

Houli’s pre-Christmas surge, where he referred 40 new Tiger members, has him way in front with 2005 points.

However, the new recruit is ineligible to win the competition, so the second placed Spike Tigers are in the box seat for the $10,000 cash prize.

Operation 10,000 is a digital membership referral campaign that has been developed specifically for the Richmond Football Club, its members and supporters.

The campaign seeks to join 10,000 new RFC members in 2011 (those who did not hold memberships in 2010), with $25,000 in cash and prizes to be won.

More than 3000 new Tiger fans have signed up so far, with the Club’s total membership reaching 24,000 this week.
