This year, the Virgin ‘Kick to Fly’ activation held at three quarter time saw two Freo fans selected from the crowd and presented with the opportunity to kick towards the LED signage for their chance to win flights to a raft of Virgin destinations. The range of destinations included domestic locations as well as international trips to Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
