Fan travels over 700km on bike to catch JDT vs Penang

This is the definition of a true fan.

A determined and loyal Penang supporter travelled more than 700 kilometres from Penang to Johor Bahru on his motorcycle to catch the Malaysia Super League (MSL) match between Johor Darul Ta’azim (JDT) and Penang at the majestic Larkin Stadium later tonight at 9pm.

According to Google Maps, if you’re driving a car from Penang at a constant speed of 100 kilometers/hour, you will reach Johor Bahru in approximately seven hours and thirty minutes. The ride must have taken the supporter at least a whopping ten hours (including rest stops).

It’s an incredible journey, and thankfully, the Panthers were pretty impressive last night. If not for Safee Sali’s late goal, they would have been able to leave Larkin with one point – something not many teams accomplish these days.

Worth the time and effort? Yes!
