We would meet 9pm Friday Night at the Festival Theatre, hop on a bus, travel overnight to Melbourne, arrive at the Queen Victoria Markets for breakfast, head out to suburban grounds like Windy Hill, Moorabbin and Victoria Park, watch the Crows get thumped, get abused by the locals, recover at Toto's Pizza Bar in Lygon Street and then board the bus back overnight to Adelaide. We would then arrive breakfast time Sunday and head off to our various SANFL games.
Yep, they were the days Phil, went on many of those bus trips too, except our eating haunt of choice was the Moosehead Tavern ($10 Snittys that came out on Pizza platters coz they were bloody HUGE!)
Great times. Great story....
