    Melbourne fans??

    Hi,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a huge Force fan living in Melbourne and I was looking for a way to interact and meet other Force supporters when I stumbled across this site and joined! Being based so far away from Perth, its tough getting to games etc, but I'm aiming to attend my first match in April against the Reds at Suncorp. It's a bit cheaper then going to Perth lol.

    Also, are there many Melbourne based Force fans and if so, do you meet up at all for games eg: this mornings Sharks match?? I know not many places will televise a 4am kickoff (Crown might be the exception). But for non RSA matches, are there any specific places that Western Force fans can meet at?

    Not sure we have many Victorians here, but bound to be a couple at least - Welcome aboard!

    There's a group of a dozen or so heading to Suncorp in April - see here

    A bit over 2-and-a-half hours to kick off. Head to Crown and check it out. And have a beer for us who are stuck at work.

    Hmm, I might stay at home and watch it on Fox. It's either that or lose truckloads of money after the match ... Cas and beer don't seem to go hand in hand when it comes to winning money. But just back to my topic, I would love to find a few Vic fans who want to head out some time and watch a game, get a bit of a supporters group going if there isn't one already.

    I would think most 'rugby' fans would follow the Storm? they are the Premiers after all and getting a supadupa shiney new stadium!
