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!

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

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!

still pint worthy my friend

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.

[Bob's Orange]

I suppose in some respects it isn't much different from me driving from Edinburgh to Swindon.

[Reg Smeeton]

I'd have thought about the same....feel an atlas check coming on.

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)

[Ralphy]

29 miles from SN1.

[herthab]

86 miles to the CG.

Could be worse though.

I could live in poxfordshire

[Sussex]

Start off 12 miles north of Brighton, via a village near Abingdon, then back down the a420. Fucked if I can work it out. 2 and 3/4hrs?

EDIT: Ooops. Don't know what it is in actual miles.

[Lash_sumthin]

120.5 miles  :evil:

[Simon Pieman]

I have to travel all the way from West Swindon. It's tough sometimes
