Western Australia has struggled to keep a straight face this week after hearing the outrage coming from Victorian footy fans over the annual finals airfare price gouge.
Your typical Westralian is gouged 6 times by airlines before breakfast time. So while not condoning the dogactery of airlines, one tends to hear the sweet sound of a tiny violin in the air.
We spoke to a West Coast fan who figures he’s spent the GDP of a small island nation. He told The Times,
“So they finally have to put their hands in their pocket and cop travel expenses hey? Boo fkn hoo, I’d be all for joining the pile on against airlines but those VFL pelicans can blow it out their arse!”
It was particularly rich when Collingwood supporters complained during the first week of finals. With one passionate Westralian telling The Times,
“Those travel dodgers complain about the tram fare when they have to play at Marvel! Try living in WA, you know how much a ticket is for a final at the G? Why do you think my son only has one kidney now?”
No doubt a drastic measure but such is the life of a WA footy fan.
Documenting the Human Zoo is thirsty work, so if you enjoyed what you read how about buying Belle a beer, ay?
