The Front Bar heading to Adelaide

The Front Bar is heading to South Australia for the AFL’s inaugural Gather Round in April.

Gather Round sees all 18 clubs descending on South Australia for nine matches at three venues across four days.

Going on the road for the first time ever Mick Molloy, Andy Maher and Sam Pang will broadcast live from Adelaide Oval with all 7AFL commentators and hosts broadcasting live from South Australia.

Mick Molloy said: “The Front Bar will be heading over to Adelaide as part of Gather Round. Keep it under your hat, there may be some outstanding warrants for my arrest over there.

“I can’t wait for Gather Round. I love travelling to South Australia. I’ll be bringing fruit over in my boot anyway, so it’s a good excuse to watch some footy as well.”

Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin said: “The Front Bar is the best sports show on television and we cannot wait to head out of Melbourne for the first time ever, and deliver an epic live show on the eve of Gather Round.”

“On behalf of the entire Seven Network, we thank the South Australian government for granting us the opportunity to fully embrace the excitement of Gather Round. We look forward to bringing all the laughs of The Front Bar, and all the biggest and best moments from the 7AFL broadcast, on the road to the people of Adelaide, and broadcast to homes all around Australia, live and free on Seven.”

General Manager Seven Adelaide, Andy Kay said: “Gather Round marks a rare and exciting opportunity for the South Australian community to embrace our much-loved sport on our home turf.”
