Unbelievable Effort by a North Supporter!!!!!

[bulldogproud]

not that big an effort, think of all the cash he has saved by not going to the games over the years? now he uses it!

Could do with a couple of sure fire bets so I can afford to get back
Got any hot tips (leaves self open for abuse)

Put your money on Schelly for the Jack Oatey - either that or Richie Cochrane!

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!!!

Yeah, lived there in the 60' 70's. Only started following North to p1ss my old man off. Been in the blood ever since.

Reckon we all would rather be there week in week out like you guys n gals

Spot on JTC...all we do is haul or sorry butts out of bed or sty up later than usual to switch on a computer...it's you guys/gals going out to the games in all weather week in week out who I admire...especially the ones who give their time freely to help out their clubs as volunteers in any capacity...unsung heroes you may not hear it very often but your hard work is appreciated.

Good luck to all involved on Sunday

So, who did your dad barrack for John?

Started with Sturt until he found out how many poms followed Centrals

Yeehaa I met JTC !!
Thanks to Wedgie for posting the photo of the JTC's.
Went hunting and was just about to give up when I bumped into
the great man ! Recognised him from the photo !!
Good to meet you JTC and the better half. Pity re the result.
Hope you enjoyed your trip back "home"

Cheers SJABC (Steve)
P.S Carn the Rams (and Clarets )

Haven't met John yet, hoping to in the next couple of days. Terrific effort, can only hope to show the dogs the same devotion in the years to come.

Well done John.

[Dogwatcher]

Great effort John. Hoped to catch you and say 'g'day' yesterday. Didn't happen. Hope you're enjoying the trip, apart from the result. Wonderful effort.

Was good to see a few of the regulars from here yesterday, Sam, SJAB, LEH (you are f$%king mad).

Was at the BBQ and then on Life FM. (Jas I hoped you listened girl), then into the game. All a bit of a rush.

Let's be honest, we were all focussing on the game, so time to go wandering around looking for each other was always going to be a tough call. Bumped into Sam by chance I think, both recognised each other, and SJABC who is neither a CD or NA supported, nice to see you true to your word, Rams top and Bays scarv.

Lets do it again next year when North will take the flag (hopefully )

Good work JTC,but I thought my drive home from Melbourne was a loooong trip.

I was referring to how we felt after losing mate. Anyway, the old one comes fully stocked with Coopers, so you can keep the new one, I'll have the old one anytime, and Mrs Wedgie is much nicer looking then you

You haven't seen me with pink hair mate!

Ummmm...errrrr Not sure why but I didn't hear you or Wedgie...heard BDPs message and sent a reply to you both but I don't think they got it...didn't hear it being read out even though I called PhilH a radio god

Wedgie you don't have to go for the bald option...pink hair would look fine if you dress like your avatar as well

yeah mate, was great to meet you, much respect for making the trip over.

[Wedgie]

JTC flys out on Thursday at 11am. I'm getting the priviledge of catching up with him and his lovely wife Rita tomorrow evening in town before he flys out.
Having JTC here has really made the Grand Final loss a hell of a lot easier for me and other North fans as I'm still on cloud 9 from meeting him. A lovely, generous and sincere couple too, 2 nicer people you'd never meet, even if they are Poms!

[Wedgie]

Ian, Zac and I saw JTC and lovely Rita off today, almost shed a tear but happy that they'll be back next year for a longer stay next time.
I tried to sneak into his luggage so I could go to the UK for the English Rugby League Grand Final but I couldn't fit after he filled up his bag with old budgets I gave him.
Have a safe trip home JTC!
A photo Ian took:

Nice stuff.

Did he take his clarets shirt off at any time during the trip?
