Still undefeated when we March to the G.
My 8 year old son and I flew in from Radelaide today to take part in history. Was priceless!!

Wow, what a ripper day/night.
Great to meet many blitzers for the first time before the march. BSD, Hoffy (thanks for minding my bag), Wim, Deckham, Cyberbomber, Koala, DJR, Robin Close and Little Hirdy. Apologies to the others I have missed.
Hiring the horse carriage for the march was a great idea Wim. You nearly had him.
Will have to make the trip down more often.

Do we know how many attended the March?
Was it as big as the first one?
Was the atmosphere, good, better or betterer?
Trip down from Darwin was well worth it. Joined the march to the āGāā¦ That was a bit of funā¦ Then to see so many loyal Bombers supporters turn up for the game made me feel proud to stand with them.
Still cant find the words to describe how great the game was. Seeing the Jobe, Dyson, Hooker, Hurley, Stants, Colyer comeback was something special.

Felt like the first one had a bit more build up with Sam Newman and others there. Put more of a spotlight on it.
This one looked just as big in terms of crowd numbers.

Agreeā¦ 5k less I think. Not sure wether the club are planning to make this an annual event for Rd1 home games, personally Iād rather not.

I hope not. It would just get smaller and smaller every year until it was embarrassing. A superb thing when conceived, but it worked because it was a response to a unique situation. It has has hit itās use by date.

So what youāre saying is, we need strippers?

Is there another option?
Iāve heard worse ideas.
I think because of where the assembly point was a lot of people either wandered on in front of the cheer squad or didnāt quite make it from various meeting āspotsā around fed square. I wasnāt at the first march but this one seemed pretty big to meā¦ just a little disjointed.

Definitely not as many people as last year.
For mine, the club in trying to make a show of it organised some pretty cringeworthy things. The 10 song versions, Nick Giannopolousā ācomedyā bit, and dare I say it Kevin Sheedy and Terry Daniher chatting like they were at a pub rather than addressing the crowdā¦people were just moving on rather than waiting to be part of it. Should have kept it simple as a gesture of the fans supporting the club we love.
