History
Formed in 1861, it is one of the oldest football clubs in the world. It holds a significant place in the history of Association football, playing in the first ever match on December 19, 1863, against the Barnes Club, even though it was not a member of the Football Association. In 1878 it hosted the first ever floodlit match and in 1909 played in the inaugral match at Twickenham Stadium, the home of English Rugby. Year 1861 (MDCCCLXI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Sunday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...

Professional Era In 1996, it was the first club in England to turn professional but when the main financial backer withdrew in 1999, administration followed. Merger with London Irish followed and in 2000, it rejoined the leagues as an amateur club at the bottom of the pyramid. The club has since progressed back up through the divisions to London Division 1 and shares the Athletic Ground with London Scottish F.C.

Post-Administration After the professional era, hooker Andy Cuthbert remained at the club and captained the side for several years. Despite its lowly league position, Richmond has still managed to attract some top class players - former South Africa captain Bobby Skinstad joined for the 2005-6 season, Chilean fly-half Sebastian Berti joined in 2006 and England Students' wing Joe Ajuwa is a regular starter in the 1st XV. Robert Brian Bobby Skinstad (born 3 July 1976 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) played rugby union in the positions of flanker and eighthman for the South African national rugby team, the Springboks. ...
Currently, Richmond are striving for promotion from London 1 - something they have failed to achieve for the past two seasons, one reason being they have not had any semi-professional players on their books. In time for the 2007/8 season, they have recruited a number of semi-professional players to ensure Richmond's promotion.
Youth Richmond's youth section is also highly successful - London Irish fullback Delon Armitage was a member of the mini section, and Dominic Waldouck made his debut for Wasps at outside centre against London Irish in 2006 having progressed through the agegroups at Richmond. On 5th January, 2007, London Wasps No.8 Hugo Ellis, another product of Richmond's youth section, captained England U19s in their 18-11 victory over Italy, scoring 2 tries, and again in their 29-5 victory over France, this time scoring a hat-trick. In the same match, another product of the Richmond youth system, now also playing at Wasps, Joe Simpson, started at scrum half and scored a try. Official website www. ...

Home Ground Richmond play at the Athletic Ground, Richmond, which borders Royal Mid Surrey Golf Club, and is close by to other sporting facilities such as Richmond Swimming Pool, Old Deer Park and also a gym. The complex includes two pitches (pitches 3 & 4) by the front gate, the 1st team pitch and perpendicular to that, pitch 2. The site also has a disused driving range behind the 1st team pitch which has three pitches on it, and a disused bowls club. One side of the pitch has a large concrete all-seater stand, under which are the changing rooms, a canteen, shop, physio room and two bars. Also on this Southern side of the pitch is a disused cricket pavillion which also contains several more changing rooms and showers. During the early professional years, a temporary stand was erected along the north side of the pitch.
Later on in the professional era, Richmond 1st team moved to the Madejski Stadium, Reading, where they played until bankruptcy. The stadium would later become London Irish's home ground, and was an early example of London rugby clubs playing in football grounds - London Wasps played at Loftus Road before moving to Adams Park, and Saracens moved to Vicarage Road. The Madejski Stadium is a football stadium in Reading, England. ...

Richmond share the Athletic Ground with London Scottish, and this rivalry is very intense. Both sides experienced a high point at the beginning of the professional era and played in the Premiership. Both teams also fell into administration and dropped down to a level well below the national leagues, and though the routes taken have been slightly different, both clubs have battled their way up the leagues.

Richmond also have a local rivalry with Barnes who they have recently frequently played as both sides sought to move into the national leagues.
