“The Richmond Football Club is very proud of the association we have had with AFG and they have been an integral part of our team,” Mr March said.
“We respect the fact that due to the changing nature of global economic markets AFG are unable to continue with their sponsorship of the club,” Mr March said.
“AFG has been a terrific partner for the club and we wish them all the best in the future,” Mr March said.
“The Richmond Football Club is entering an exciting phase as a club with the commencement of our $20 million redevelopment scheduled to start imminently,” Mr March said.
