It was great watching the win on TV tonight and seeing such a large contingent of Bomber fans all around the ground tonight enjoying every goal, and the win. Our large base in WA have had a tough time in recent years and you deserved to enjoy the win as much as anyone.

Great to see lots of red n black on display.. Go Bombers!

Just got home from the game and think most of us is quite hoarse and lost our voices from screaming in every goal, mark and tackle.. good of the boys to run over to our cheersquad end and give us high fives as well! Topped off an awesome night! :thumbsu:

Such a good win and still quite overwhelmed with what I just witnessed.. :D
Mates wanted me to come join them to get wasted but I dont want to forget a single moment of tonight, so may just have a few quiet ones to celebrate!

I'm from Melbourne but made the trip over. I would say the crowd was a 30/70 split. I was quite surprised with how many supporters we have in WA. It was great to see.

Yeah I was pretty surprised to hear boos for Freo players at points during the game, and massive roars when we sealed it.

Would've been forgiven for thinking it was a Carlton/Essendon type split.

I loved the fact Ch7 kept the cameras on the players going up to the supporters after the game - once the purple haze cleared out, you really saw how many fans were there. I am happy you all got to see a win, it has been a while

So with so many supporters in WA (and we 'overtrade' in other staes as well), how can we leverage this support and get everyone on board as a member?? There is a big opportunity to ensure everyones a winner with this..

Well done to the guys who made it to the game, great reward. Was fantastic to see the players show just how much it meant to them to have the support here.

Hoping with the new stadium we'll eventually get, there is also a larger allocation of Interstate Membership available, as Im pretty sure theres always a waiting list or sold out?

The only real way of doing it would be assuring a Freo game over there every year. WCE is so close to a sellout every week, as makes no odds.
"Adam PhcMee dash for cash cup" anyone?
"Todd Ridley cup" ?
