Monday Night Footy

St Kilda Saints play Carlton Blues on Monday night 10 May at Etihad Stadium . The match starts at 7.20 pm and will be televised .

It’s a bold marketing move by the AFL in a bid to attract  greater attendance figures and put  more bums on seats .

The choice of a game during the week as opposed to weekends , friday night or public holidays is a relatively new initiative .

Both clubs enjoy a large supporter fan base .

Some reports in the media have shown stories of younger fans being unable to attend as it is a school night .

Older fans may be absent due to work commitments.

The AFL , whilst continually developing and looking at new ways to attract supporters will be mindful of this .

Will it be financially rewarding  for the two clubs who are hoping to attract high attendance figures and a hefty revenue payment  for the media broadcast?

Whether they are at the Match or watching it at home fans will be dressed in their football jumper , jersey , guernsey to support their teams.
