The Western Australian Government has urged the good people of Bunbury to just “hold it together” for 24 hours as the South West City hosts a pre-season clash between West Coast and North Melbourne.
A spokesperson for the WA Government said they appreciated Bunbury’s unique brand of behaviour but they should be on high alert given the VFL media’s raw passion for bringing WA down a peg. Adding,
“Bunbury, you know we love you. You’re like that fun uncle who doesn’t have their shit together and passes out in his own birthday cake. It’s great but if you do that while the VFL is watching, they’ll make an example of you”
The main worry is whether or not the people will go “full Bunbury” and put the future games at Hands Oval at risk.
Naturally, the people of Bunbury haven’t taken the request well. With many telling the WA Government that if they wanted good behaviour they’d set up tyre spikes at the base of the hill so Collie residents couldn’t come down.
We spoke to a proud Bunbarian who told The Times,
“Look, we are far too busy complaining about extra works on the Bypass to cause any mischief at the footy today. Collie on the other hand… What do they do all day? Other than play slippery sausage with their blood cousins”
It’s a fair point and the WA Government intends to address Collie as well in the lead up to the match. Which is scheduled in just 4 hours.
