Who has been to the most games?
Has anyone ever taken a tally of how many games they have been to?
my first game ever was at Waverley Park in 1986 in the Wet. We lost to Fitzroy in a final, they got a goal late on i remember...
after that, its been consistantly 5-10 games a year so i must done 150 games i reckon.... its not too bad... but i'm sure there would be more out there..
should be a banner for a supporter to run through when they attend 300 games.

Re: Who has been to the most games?
i think my first game was about 2003 at the Gabba with a total of about 8 games up until the end of 2009 then 18 last year and 11 so far this year so i guess that's around 37 games..... win/loss ratio is all kinds of shit! i think it took me 6 games to see my first win

Re: Who has been to the most games?
I've been to pretty much every Melbourne game since 1991. Missed a few here and there. Done a few interstate.
Re: Who has been to the most games?
Worked it out for a mate who didn't believe me a few weeks ago.. I'm 29, but have been going regularly since I was around 4.
Came up with a number of 350+. Easily would've run through the banner by now.

Re: Who has been to the most games?
I'd estimate I'm up at around the 140 mark by now.
Went every week (with very rare exceptions here and there) 99 to 03, then came back to Aus and have been basically every week 09 to now.

Re: Who has been to the most games?
been going for nearly 35 years... Really regularly in the 80's and early 90's .... A small hiatus until 96 and then regular ever since. Certainly up over 500 without really adding up.... My 11 yo has been to well over 100 already
JohnG from the old BT has only missed 4 games in VIC since 1973..

Re: Who has been to the most games?
In a way I've been to every game of VFL/AFL ever played.
In a more realistic way, I reckon I've been to about 60, including games I have left early from to chase my dog around Elwood beach. His common name is Buster. His botanical name is Buster the Dog.

Re: Who has been to the most games?
A handful in the '60's, a few dozen in the '70's, more in the '80's and from '94 almost every game in Vic, plus the occasional interstater. This year has been the least since '94, due to work and kids footy on Sundays.
300+ easy I expect.
johnG has an impressive record. =D>

Re: Who has been to the most games?
I would have seen about 800 Essendon games and 70-odd involving other teams.

Re: Who has been to the most games?
If you include Ansett Cup matches i'd probably have another 20... i used to go always to go them... I was there that night the lights went out at Waverley... i remember seeing Darren Bewick turn into a Jack Russell.
But anyway seriously if you are not walking dead (over 60) and have seen more then 200 games, you need something else in your life. I dont know what else there is.... maybe Darts with steady eddy.... Getting touched by Females is apparently awesome as well....
this has reminded me, I have downgraded my tally to 130 games... i spent one winter getting mad hand jobs. By this thing who lived down the road from me.... i'm still not sure what it was.... but it painted its fingernails for me... to put me at ease.
