Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 14:45:02 Quote from: "Redgewell" Absolutely no excuse for not being at every game. ;) You know, looking at that, it isn't actually that far to drive to Saturday home games. Would need to leave on Friday after work and go home early on Sunday mornings, but that is doable I think! Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Red81 on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 14:49:58 its just insane the thought. If you are planning to, or have done this. I take my hat off to you and i owe you a pint or two

If you are planning to, or have done this. I take my hat off to you and i owe you a pint or two Well I am planning to drive over to visit my old man at some point so maybe not every home game, but 1 in 4 or something! Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Red81 on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 14:53:27 still pint worthy my friend
Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 14:57:28 I recall some years back when living on the South Coast, driving up to Newcastle, for some random reason, I wondered about the equivalent journey travelling south, assuming no water, it was Luxembourg. So now with the tunnel, its a trek, but not that ludicrous.
Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 15:05:32 I suppose in some respects it isn't much different from me driving from Edinburgh to Swindon.
Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 15:08:01 I'd have thought about the same....feel an atlas check coming on.
Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: timmyg on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 16:07:23 I drove back from Ancona, Italy to see the Hereford home game. 1,840km in a Peugout 106 only to witness a 2-1 loss.
(I didn't drive back JUST for the game, but I was moving back an happened to get back on the Friday before the game) Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 17:25:28 29 miles from SN1.
Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: herthab on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 17:36:19 86 miles to the CG.

Title: Distance you have to travel to watch Swindon Post by: Mark Hanrahan on Sunday, May 20, 2007, 19:54:13 Appox 200 mile round-trip. Standard SE London stuff. Always stop at Membury for a major chocolate hit en-route. By the time I hit the CG, I'm sugar rushing my tit's off. That's the closest I get to being p1ssed-up on matchday. I'm sure my good citizenship will go down well with the Wiltshire Constabularly!
