Pre Season Night Series?

[AM]

I noticed both the SFL and MPNFL are running a modified night series during March for clubs wanting to compete. There’s a relatively small cash prize for the winning teams. I wondered whether the powers that be at the VAFA had discussed the possibility of something similar with the cricket authorities and Bayside Council as Elsternwick Park lends itself to it.

SFL is very fortunate to have proactive relationship with Springvale Football Club (div 1). The club has offered its ground free of charge to all clubs that are playing in the night series - and sharing profits on the bar and canteen - plus gate money going to a charity Also picked up a handy sponsor to assist with some of the additional support required.

I personally like the idea of running a larger version of this accross metro Melbourne (perhaps 3 or 4 sections) to give clubs better access to grounds in the pre season and against clubs they may otherwise not entertain playing. Built it and they will come!
