I travelled to Melbourne twice this year. Firstly for the Richmond fiasco, then for the Melbourne debacle. I wouldn't mind a compo payout for those mind-numbing and faith-sapping disasters. It still gives me the shakes...

How bout reimbursement for the trip I took down to Tassie in round 21 last year. Knowing your team is no chance before the ball is even bounced and still fly down to watch it all unfold.
Just imagine the compensation the Port fans would need

I only travelled for the Saints game - where we clearly just ran out of puff, rather than a total capitulation in the Hawthorn, Richmond and Melbourne games (though we just played **** for the whole Melbourne game)
Part of the reason we get so few travelling fans is because we rarely win when travelling (though our non-Vic travel record is at 100%) - I'm sure the distance and the $$$ associated with the distance when purchasing tickets doesn't help at all either!

I'd like to see all fans who attend games in Melbourne compensated for the inept shit we dish up time after time (yes this even applies to Freo fans who live in Melbourne)

I travelled to Melbourne this year for the Melbourne flogging. The year before I went to Melbourne for the Western Bulldogs flogging, The year before that I went to Melbourne for the St Kilda flogging.
Perhaps they should pay me not to travel to Melbourne.

This article would be relevant to us if we were Geelong.
Unfortunately, you'll never read about a team like Bolton refunding their away fans after a thrashing... but having watched that match, I don't blame the actions of Arsenal

I just love hearing about things like that.
That there is a club that actually cares about their fans an realise how important they are.
AFL fans are just treated like numbers
We should get more in membership packages
We should get big discounts if we travel to a non membership game
We should get nice disounts on merchandise.
There desperate for us to buy the memberships to keep the money at the club.
But do nothing in return, except use those numbers to try an get better sponsorship deals etc.

And use the money on football to try to remain competitive? Anyway they can take my money keep their merch just get me a flag per favore
I'd be ok with maybe softening the blow for some of our eastern states supporters and possibly some of the crew frequently traveling to said trounces but it'd set a dangerous precedent.
Ofcourse not every flogging.
But say WA members fly to Melb to watch a game.
Freo gets flogged by over 80.
Would be awesome to get a letter from the club saying this is not on that was pathetic here ya go we will refund your ticket price or give u tickets to next away game of your choice.
Now anything under say 60 or 70 no need for it.
But 80+ rarely happens an should never happen so would be great to see something like that from the club.
$40 isnt much to someone whos just spend hundreds to go watch over east but its the thought and also puts pressure on players to never let things like that happen again as its unnacceptable from this team.

Youd hope after the second flogging the players might get it.
