Travelling to see your local team play doesn't usually involve boats, cars and airplanes but for supporters of PSM Makassar in this year's AFC Cup, that's exactly what they've needed to do with the club's home ties being hosted at Pakansari Stadium, a two-and-a-half hour flight - or 10 hour ferry - and two hour drive away.
Nevertheless, despite the logistical difficulties, the The Red Fish fans have still attended to cheer on their side.
A small but noisy congregation were present to see PSM record a 7-3 victory in their first home tie of the 2019 AFC Cup campaign against Lao Toyota on March 13, while last month support was present in Singapore in the 1-1 draw with Home United.

"We really appreciate the presence of our supporters," said PSM defender Abdulrahman Sulaiman.
"They come all the way from Makassar to support us or from other areas outside of the city.
"Even though we play our home games in Bogor, we can feel the support from Makassar because these fans are coming to cheer us on."
"The players obviously play with more enthusiasm and motivation to win.
"We hope that their support will continue, especially in the next AFC Cup match against Kaya FC."
Despite the boost of their far-travelling fans, PSM have started the previous two AFC Cup ties slowly and, although they have picked up four points so far, coach Darije Kalezic is determined to bring his side up to speed.
"I was quite disappointed by the team in the early minutes of the matches so far," said the 49-year-old tactician.
"They didn't play well in the opening period, but perhaps this is due to making our debut in this competition.
"There are some shortcomings we still need to work on, but we have to time to correct these before the next match."
