We can't be serious!
The Bombers are flying to this weeks game in 27 minutes and we are taking a 3 hour bus ride. Has anyone heard what type of bus it is?

Re: We can't be serious!
It's not that far...
Maybe you'd fork out the money if it was actually worth 4 points.

Seriously are we that precious that we can’t take a bus ride for a few hours in Vic?
Maybe a bonding session planned, a few quizzes and stories on the way up?
Old fashioned footy.

Re: We can't be serious!
Points have got nothing to do with it. It's the message it sends to our supporter base at a time when we are trying to convince them that we have drawn a line in the sand. If the Bombers see fit to fork out the money to shorten their trip by 2 hours and 33 minutes then let's just hope the club at least has hired a bus with a toilet.SainterK wrote:It's not that far...

what on earth is wrong with a 3- 4 hour bus ride- Some supporters do that every weekCairnsman wrote:Points have got nothing to do with it.

another theory is that the Bombers forgot to organise accomodation.
i wonder if they do the royal thing and put the coach on one plane and the senior coach on the other
and the captain on one and the vice captain on the other-- they are only 19 seaters- Not full class jets....

Re: We can't be serious!
Sorry Cairnsman,
Cannot believe you think we're the irrational ones on this topic
Catching a plan for the sake of a 3hr bus trip is ridiculous
finacially stupid, poor for the environment, makes them look like primadonnas

Re: We can't be serious!
BTW- the saints have arrived safely in Wangaratta and are tucked into their rooms - watching cricket or sleeping.

10 minutes to taxi to the runway, 5 minutes waiting to take off, then being told it's too wet to take off. 30 minutes later all clear to take off. 27 minute flight only to find it's too wet to land, 30 minutes back to Essendon. Too late to take a bus, Saints win as the opposition failed to show.
Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell

Re: We can't be serious!
Buses are cool. The boys can sing songs and eat pies on the way home lke in the old days! Those little planes are scary.
Out of interest - does anyone know ahow Premier League teams travel? The reason I ask is they have matches all the time around 3-5 hours away. London to Liverpool, Manchester, Blackburn, Everton etc etc. Do they fly or bus for those games???

BTW - if they are concerned on recovery how does an early morning and a very late night in a little plane and 2 flights in one day stack up?
seat belts on guys where as the Saints as you say can wander around the bus.

Saints will be flying next week anyway in a much bigger plane.

Re: We can't be serious!
The 3 hr bus trip will be fun.
They can sing songs.
Play "I spy".
Brown-eye other motorists.
Hang their scarves out the windows.
Do the "We wanna wee wanna wee" chant.
Watch a chick flick.
Stop at a roadhouse and eat some nice greasy burgers with chips.
Do some handball drills in the bus.
etc.
Just as long as they don't buy any of those bogany blankets that you wear as a coat like the Richmond guys did on their bus trip last year.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
