Crows vs. Bombers -- away trip?

[raboyle]

I'm toying with the idea of going with the supporters group to Melbourne for the game against Essendon, but would like to go only if any other Gunners are going... then we can raise some hell at the Dome.

Flying in Sat morning, go to the game, fly out Sat evening.

Don't know if I qualify as a Gunner but i'll be going, scored some seats near the interchange benches Will make plenty of noise by myself

I would love to go if I didnt have to work every Saturday morning, and being unable to get a day off at this time. However, the Saints game the following Sunday is a disticnt possibility. How long does it take to drive to Melbourne?

8-9 hours usually, depending on how long you stop for breaks.

*thinks leaving at 5.30am Sunday, going to TD for 2.40pm start, leaving straight after, be home by 1am*

Flights were too expensive..$150...haha, no thanks.

You'll struggle to drive for less if it's $150 return.

Also got to factor in about 17 hours trapped in a car full of strange smells. Going on a road trip with a mate can be ok, but it is not like a road trip with Pamela Anderson.

After a trip to Melbourne with my friend who is a driving instructor, following an extremely bad diet in Melbourne and 9 hours and almost constant flatulence from both of us on the way back he had to cancel the next week's worth of driving lessons until he could desmellify his vehicle!

I managed to grab some of the cheap Tiger tickets for $10 a pop months ago and am taking the tribe over. No doubt Matty will be making noise.

Id rather a road trip with one of my mates, than one with Pamela Anderson. If it was Ivanovic tho...mate would definately be kicked to the kerb.

Crank some good music, and just drive. Very relaxing.

Ana doesn't strike me as the sort of girl that would do what Pammy did to Tommy Lee's gearstick on their infanmous road trip. Although it is fun to imagine.
