It's amazing how many people put in the effort to get there. Had a mate fly back from England for the 2002 GF and flew back on the Tuesday as he wasn't on holidays and had to get back to work.
It's all the SANFL's fault.

No biggie. But I am flying in from Melbourne. But I am a bloody bandwagonner who knows nothing about the club.
I actually don't about the Grand Final. I'm just flying in to meet the famous Johntheclaret. :lol:

Great stuff JTC! How did you come about supporting North? Did you live in Adelaide?

Admire all those overseas posters on this site who get up at all sorts of hours to tune in on the internet on match days. JAS, trb, jimmy etc. Great dedication!!!

Well done to all those making special arrangements to get to the GF. Hope all have a great day out and GF gets a great crowd.

Now if this was the long weekend would probably make life easier. I think if the GF is held after the AFL next year we do get the holiday Monday.
