What Borough supporters are making the trip to Ballarat????

I will be at the game also would not miss it for quids.Hope to catch up with Digs again.Should be a great finals game.
Go Borough!

I'll be there.. Can't wait. We played poorly against the Roosters just a few weeks ago, and still only lost by a couple of goals.

As long as it's not snowing, I rate a very good chance to knock the Roosters off the perch :)

We will be making the trip - just a lesuirely 340 k 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive! so they better bloody win.

Given AFL Victoria's limited resources one might presume the ground dimensions quoted on their website would have been provided by the clubs themselves.

Some may have measured fence to fence, some boundary to boundary. Measuring methods would also be likely to vary.

An overriding consideration at Port however could be that since they demonstrate a great love of days gone by at North Port Oval they have measured the ground in yards not metres!

(My info from a reasonable source is that it is 47 metres from the 50 to the goal line at North Port Oval.)

Given I've made the distance from the 50 metre line at Port, that doesnt surprise me.

To all you Burrough supporters enjoy the trip up to Ballarat as Sandy did last week and the usual fade out in the last quarter to give the Roosters a 4 goal victory.
The new ring road is superb making the trip nearly worthwhile and on a very windy, cold not freezing it was North Ballarat that played the better to win.
The playing surface is in excellent condition with no mud in the centre and even with a little rain it held up to allow good footy all day, if you play well and kick straight you can win.

I'd believe that... first time I kicked a goal from 50m was at Port's ground...
