WESTERN Bulldogs fans taking club organised buses up to Spotless Stadium for Saturday's preliminary final against Greater Western Sydney received a pleasant surprise when coach Luke Beveridge shouted them breakfast.

Wodonga, which is on the Victorian side of the border with New South Wales, had food vans available to cater for hungry supporters making the long journey.

Those in the travelling party received $10 along with a note from Beveridge.

"Thank you for jumping on board the Bulldogs Bus to cheer on our boys in Sydney," the letter read.

"It is incredible to have so many of our members and supporters make the huge effort in getting on the bus to watch our boys play and we are so grateful for the ongoing support you continue to show us.

"As a small thank you for your efforts, we would like to pay for your breakfast this morning. The City of Wodonga have put on some great food vans so get out, stretch the legs and have a safe drive."

Bulldogs member Josh Piterman appreciated the sentiment from the Dogs.  

"It's amazing to go for a club that values its members and supporters," Piterman said.

The Western Bulldogs have suffered through seven consecutive preliminary final losses, with the club's sole premiership coming in 1954.

Saturday's clash kicks off at 5.15pm AEST.
