The AFL fans association, is a new association built to try and give fans of this great game a voice. I'm not one to usually spruik such a thing but I feel it has merit and in recent weeks it has certainly gained far more exposure.
They have a Facebook page and a website www.aflfans.org. It doesn't cost a thing to join.
As for my knowledge of the association founders. The head has worked in footy for a while running an AFL 7's comp in Melbourne and the UK, he also organizes the Harmony Cup which was just on the other week. I've dealt with him only on the odd occasion but there is no doubting his passion for the game.
Anyway do with it what you will, I can only say that with more and more fans struggling to get to the footy this may be a way to give them a voice. One thing the association will need is numbers, membership is currently at 1000 people, just imagine if 100000 signed up surely that may hold some clout with the folks down at AFL house.
