Footscray vs North Ballarat - Sunday 4th of May

Re: Footscray vs North Ballarat - Sunday 4th of May

It's cold here in Bendigo so I won't dare going to Ballarat tomorrow.

Just as a side note, I checked the clubs website and it would appear that there isn't a Bendigo Bulldogs supporter group any more.
Back when I lived in Bendigo it had a strong following and used to organise a bus to go to games for the supporters.

Seems a real shame that our regional areas in Victoria aren't better represented by supporter groups.

Yeah that has been the case for a while. I remember the final year the bus was running they were struggling to get enough people to cover the bus costs.

We may have crossed paths because I used to catch the bus with the group for a few years.

Story as I understand goes the main organiser before the group thinned out was Nat Brown's mum who moved away after Nat moved to Tiges. Im only guessing there is a fair logistical task and need to cover costs if people don't participate. If the club thought they could generate enough memberships from regional locations (and satellite towns) you'd hope they could add the duties of logistics to a membership staff member. Or maybe that idea has been run and won? Don't know. But with a few Bendigo boys playing now and the next few years, now would be a time to think about it.

Now I wonder who lives up there and is a bulldog tragic that could start this up.

touché. But immediately I'm throwing myself at a charity initiative over the next few months. If I cant make a go of it, then this might be on the cards!

Bit harder with losses like these though...

Could be a hell of a lot worse.

In terms of loses I didn't think it was that bad.

Pretty close from the sound of it. Who for us has played well so far in that first half for those who have braved the conditions and gone.

No not too good. We are let down in the VFL too and from the scoreline bad kicking lost it for us.

Tutt and Goodes looked our best. Roberts did a good job down back. Ayce was ok in spots, competed well.

Hrovat and Honey showed flashes. Pretty ordinary game and umpires were shocking.
