The rebel Richmond Football Club ticket will force an extraordinary general meeting unless every director gives a commitment to resign within three weeks.

The rebel ticket, led by alternative president Charles Macek and organised by another former director in Brendan Schwab, issued a letter of demand to the incumbent board on Tuesday.

It wants written commitment from all directors within 21 days that they will resign on the date of a December Annual General Meeting, thus allowing a full board election.

If such written commitments are not forthcoming, the rebel ticket will collect signatures to force an extraordinary general meeting.

"If the Richmond Football Club is forced to hold an extraordinary general meeting, it will be entirely due to the failure of the current board to honour its commitment to the Richmond members," a statement said.

"Should it be necessary to put that petition in place, we would have no problem in doing so," Schwab said.

The Richmond board, led by club president Clinton Casey, agreed to hold the board elections at an AGM brought forward from January to December.

That agreement was struck as part of a peace deal between the groups in July that also allowed rebel ticket member and former premiership player Bryan Wood to play a part in the appointment of new Tigers coach Terry Wallace.

"The members of the Richmond Football Club have every right to expect that these public commitments will be honoured in full," Macek said.

"It is extremely unfortunate that previous public commitments, including access to all RFC financial and commercial arrangements, have not been honoured by the current board."
