Title: Fans in the van - Horror Show
Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, April 4, 2005, 18:24:01
Those of a superstitious disposition should look away now.

Worked out today using multimap that since december Iv done 1561.2  miles in hire vans following Swindon. For all that Iv seen Swindon score just 3 goals. Which works out at 520.4 miles per goal. Worst of all it works out at 1285 miles PER LEAGUE POINT!

I saw us get a result at Bradford, but went up in a car. Saw us score at Tranmere and Luton but went by train. The 1561.2 miles is made up of Bournemouth (138.6), Sheffield (332.2), Southend (276.2), Torquay (289 AND A POINT WOO HOO), and of course the marathon run to Hartlepool (525.2, not even including the 50 miles extra to the b n b)

Had some of the best days of my life following Swindon away last season, but since december it has been a lean lean spell.

Still going to Hull though.

Yeah. That was most likely us, although there were 2 or 3 that game. Was it on the M25? Getting round to that South Mimms services is an absolute bastard. The best bit was we went past the team coach, gave it the massive COME ON! Then the team caoch went past us whilst we took a piss, beeping its horn. Then we went past again giving it an even bigger COOOOOOMMMMMM OOOOOONNNNN! Whilst Virgin radio was playing 'Love will tear us apart again'. Classic.

Unfortunately we also went past it on way back. We were all havin an absolute fit.

Hartlepool is the ONLY game in this division that I consider too far to go. I'm kinda put off by the fact that when I went up to Sunderland last year it took 5 hours to get from Leeds to the North East!

That was the weekend when there were seriously bad winds and all the lorries kept falling over etc. :x
