HUNDREDS of families are expected to flock to the Herald Sun Foxtel Full-On Footy Tour of regional Victoria from next Monday, in what is tipped to be a boost to grassroots football.

Seven lucky regional clubs will host an afternoon “Festival of Footy” — including a kids’ footy clinic, amusements, food stalls and more — and a sports night with dinner and drinks at their local grounds from February 27 to March 14.

A panel of experts from the Herald Sun and Fox Footy will host the ticketed evening events in each town, taking audience questions and conducting an auction, all to raise much-needed cash for each club.

“This couldn’t have come at a better time for us,” Traralgon Football Netball Club president Andrew Livingstone said, estimating the club stood to make about $10,000 from the tour.

To have that sort of cash injection at the start of the season really sets us up for the year ahead.

“It really means a lot to us to have been chosen.” The 133-year-old club will sell tickets to its evening event for $50 a head for a two-course dinner, with drinks at bar prices.

Fans will be able to take selfies with both the women’s and men’s AFL premiership cups, enjoy broadcasts from the Foxtel truck’s big screen, and be in the running to win random prizes at each event.

The tour will conclude with an invitation-only event at Bell’s Hotel in South Melbourne.
