The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS are delighted to announce that Melissa Doyle has agreed to become the club’s Number One ticket holder.

Chief Executive David Matthews welcomed the co-host of Australia’s leading television breakfast program Channel Seven’s Sunrise to the GIANTS family.

“We are thrilled that someone of Mel’s calibre has accepted this role and we want to warmly welcome her and her family to the GIANTS as we prepare for our inaugural season in the AFL in 2012,” Matthews said.

As well as being a successful TV presenter, Melissa Doyle is a journalist and author and started her career in Canberra after graduating from Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. She is married to John and has two children, Nicholas and Talia.

She said she was honoured to become number one ticket holder and was looking forward to supporting the GIANTS. “To be part of the AFL’s newest club as it embarks on its journey in Greater Western Sydney and Canberra is truly exciting,” she said.

“We all know AFL is a very popular sport but it also brings families and people across the community together in a unique way and has great social and health benefits for children who play and follow the game.

“I am looking forward to becoming involved with the GIANTS and getting to know the players, staff and supporters who bring so much passion and colour to the game. I’m sure it will also bring a bit more spice to mornings on Sunrise alongside Port Adelaide’s number one ticket holder Kochie.”

Melissa Doyle will be officially welcomed to the GIANTS family before the Sydney Derby at ANZ Stadium on March 24.
