What would you think about this as a concept?
How would it affect current membership levels? Would it be a chance in 2007 to increase the Borough's supporter base?
Mates who follow different AFL clubs, might get along to catch up and watch the Borough during the season. Or those heading into town to Telstra Dome for a night game might come along early for a look.
It also gives AFL supporters a chance to get along to a VFL game, even if their aligned side is playing away.
If they do become regular supporters, there is the possibility of revenue through merchandise etc.
Thoughts?

I am of the view that no-one really appreciates “something for nothing†I suggest an arrangement to bring “your mate along†and get a “ two for the price of one†deal, or AFL members at half price.
I agree that something should be tried to increase attendance and memberships. A challenge for the marketers !!
Or perhaps treat AFL club members as "away" VFL members and give them $5 off the price of admission.
Why should we do anything for the afl,they dont give a rats arse about the vfl.Just ask dean laidley
In business I found that if you give something away for its just that worthless. If nay VFL wants to go down that track then let everyone in free - its only fair.
Onslaught's proposal is not about doing anything for the AFL - it's about attendances, atmosphere and possibly merchandise sales for Port Melbourne. I agree with the concept of InForAPenny - produce an AFL membership and get in for the same price as a visiting VFL member.
North Ballarat is continuing its gold coin admission to home ground matches this season.
North Ballarat are doing something good for the community with the gold coin entry program.
They donate these proceeds to a nominated Ballarat charity each week.
