does anybody here actually travel ( Melbourne based supporters ) to Bendigo,Ballarat,Tassie
Last year I went to Ballarat, and this year I'm going to Warnambool and Tassie.
So far, I have been to Bendigo this year and will be making the trip to Ballarat as well as Warnambool.
Not sure about Tassie yet.
I've been to Tasmania a couple of times...always a pleasant trip....and it's a nice drive from Mornington to Ballarat and bendigo..
And if we got to play at Warrnambool then I'd go down there as well...
:D
Yes I rarely miss a game but did not travel Tassie this year and I feel that travelling for the Tassies boys and support staff must get very tiresome and a little out of pocket expenses must affect them a bit, so when they come to Vic. you look at them and say we only do it once a year and they have to do it 9/10 times , personally I wouldn't like that, so I respect them a lot more for their time away from home and effort on the field.
Travelling to Bendigo is a good day trip and Geelong and Ballarat distance just seems to get closer each year to view our beautiful state scenery if your not driving and also remember we only do it once a season they travel nearly every 2nd ,3rd week to Melb. and back so good on 'em.
So it can be a little disappointing when local Melb. clubs supporters do not travel away just across the suburbs to support their teams away games.
go zebs
zebra :D
i go to almost every game that frankston plays
Yes travel to all away games where possible. The trips to Bellerive and Launceston were a great chance to get a weekend getaway as well.
Usually do Bendigo and Ballarat, and make a weekend out of it.
Haven't done Tassy, but plan to.
tassie is a good weekend away well worth doing
Travel- I have watched Williamstown play Tassie in Devonport in 2001. Stayed in Tassie for a 5 day holiday. Also watched East Devonport play Ulverstone that weekend.
In 2003 I wacthed Williamstown play Tassie under lights at York Park.
Same weekend watched North Hobart play New Norfolk at North Hobart Oval. Again I stayed in Tassie for about 5 days.
In 2004 I watched Willy play Tassie at York Park which was an ABC match of the day. The game that followed was northern Bombers v East Devonport. Another 5 day stay in Tassie.
Football is a good excuse for a holiday in Tassie.
I have watched around 6 matches in North Ballarat where the seagulls have played over the years.
I have also been to Bendigo 3 times.
Did not go to Lavington when the Murray Kangaroos were around.
Have been to Geelong twice for VFL games where one was a stupid curtain raiser.
Plan to go to Reid Oval for Werribee v Casey on the 27th of this month if the train is not too expensive.
Reid Oval in Warrnambool has great facilities.
