FANS GO THE DISTANCE

A LOT can be learned from the recent visits here by Collingwood and the Broncos.

At the bus interchange after the Pies v Suns game, a grandmother said she’d flown up from Melbourne and was catching the train to stay with relatives in Brisbane.

There was a similar story at Robina last weekend where a retiree, wearing an original Powers jumper signed by Wayne Bennett, told how they’d left Caboolture by train to get to Cbus Stadium about midmorning.

These fans are loyal and incredibly dedicated. The Coast needs to build a similar base.
