Essendon Football Club, in partnership with McDonald's, proudly welcomed fans from across regional Victoria to the MCG for a special 'trip to the footy' in round 14 against Geelong. 

Supporters from Bendigo, Ballarat, Shepparton, Echuca and Morwell boarded the McDonald's Country Bus Tour, departing from their local McDonald's restaurants and heading straight to the ‘G to cheer on the Bombers.

A Macca's run is a pre-game ritual for many Bomber fans, and this initiative brought that tradition to life on a bigger scale, connecting supporters from the country and uniting them for a day at the footy. 

A big thank you to McDonald's for helping bring the country to the 'G, and to all the fans who joined to make round 14 one to remember.
