It was my first interstate trip too, Bull.I had an absolute ball.I just got back yesterday after being up there since easter with my 2 daughters doing the theme park thing.
I stayed with a friend and was advised to catch a free bus in from Carindale which dropped us about 100metres from gate 2. We had great seats on the wing and i was very surprised as was my brisbane friend in regards to the amount of support we had.The atmosphere was terriffic in the third when we piled on those goals.I was very close to Richos dive in front of voss which really set the crowd alight.
Unfortunately i was too busy celebrating at the end to get my daughter draped in richmond colours down to the fence in time to get a football from deledio i think it was but the kid next to me on the bus home let me have a look at his which was signed by Andrew Raines.
Defnitely not a hostile crowd up there unlike the stories i have heard about supporters going to adelaide.Vey laid back atmosphere similar to the whole relaxed culture up there overall.
I would have had agreat time even if the tiges didnt win but it will defnitely be agame which i will treasure for ever.Even got a few photos after the game proudly displaying my scarf on the boundary line.
