In the stands
This year the Club is introducing several new initiatives to build the AFC stadium atmosphere and make opposing teams fear the trip to West Lakes. This includes:
- assisting the Crows Supporter Group and encouraging new faces within the cheer squad
- the TRIBE, a new fan development initiative lead by Kurt Tippett, Nathan van Berlo, Taylor Walker and Rory Sloane featuring a large group of carefully selected, fanatical Crows fans
- weekly match day fan promotions and give always

- player appearances, interviews and signing sessions
- food and beverage selections including the famous Crows Supporter Group BBQ
- a replay of the day’s big match on the Shed’s super screen
- the opportunity to meet your favourite Crows player as members of the playing group mingle with fans on the Shed floor
