Raider Touchdown Club

Beginning Monday, September 14th, fans of Richmond Raider Football will have a new opportunity to learn more about the team.  The Raider Touchdown Club will officially start on Monday, September 14, 2009 and will continue each Monday throughout the football season. These events will be a chance for every interested, dedicated Raider fan to gain insight into, and an understanding of, the Raider Football program. 
 
Coach Paul Hoggard will attend each event, highlighting the evening with commentary regarding the previous game and sharing insight into the preparations for their upcoming opponent. Coach Hoggard is also expected to talk about the complexities of running a program as revered as Richmond’s.  In addition, position coaches will be invited to provide an inside look at what it takes to be a Raider. The programs are geared to be short and provide weekly fellowship for the fans as the season progresses. 
 
Starting at 7pm each week during the football season, the series will be hosted in the banquet room of the American Legion in Hamlet.  There is no charge to attend; however, the Legion will have full steak dinners available for $12. Fans are encouraged to come and support the club, and naturally, Raider attire is suggested!
