St Kilda players, coaches, staff members and volunteers will be embracing the club’s heartland next week as part of the inaugural Saints On The Street drive.

The club will be spreading the red, white and black gospel throughout the municipalities of Frankston, Kingston, Bayside, Glen Eira and Port Phillip in a bid to further engage with the community in the club’s traditional area.

Research has shown that one out of every five AFL club members in those municipalities are St Kilda members and the club is looking to further cement its position as the Bayside club by embracing the area from Port Melbourne to Portsea.

Club representatives will be taking to the streets in the area where they will hand out club information, visit community gathering points and meet and greet with locals.
