I just think if your going that far you might as well go the full distance to all of them. I never thought as distance to be a problem. Back in the day when I would not miss games, I thought nothing of going to Boston on a Wednesday night, leaving to get enough time for a few hours in the Lincolnshire pubs, or up to Macclesfield on a Monday night. Saturdays the further the better. But I always went everywhere by train if possible. The bigger the social group the better. Cards, banter, other clubs fans.

  I would rather go for a day out at York than Luton, and it is a new ground at Rochdale. So no problem.

    have Rochdale been getting a new ground?

  If you will travel 80 miles why not travel 200 miles! This country is small really. Travel is dead easy in this era. If you can afford to go to The midlands then the North West is really not much... more

    time, cost, petrol and a host of a few other reasons. i work until 12 so to avoid taking too much time off the nearer ones are better

      for games, I went 15 years missing 3 games!

        I didn't realise you were such a 'part-time percy' back in them days. :)
  - slight difference between 80 and 200miles mate — Tase, Sun May 20 19:32
    
    80 is a 1hr 30 max, so a possible 1pm to 7 job, 200miles is a full dayer, not to mention a lot of petrol. Although these days the supports coaches must be a fair bit cheaper than driving yourself.

      but it leaves too early which is why my mates and I never use it anymore. It often gets there two hours before kick-off which is fine if you don't mind making a day of it but no good if you want to... more

        shame we don't have more like you. personally i'd do more away games, but my game going pal works every other saturday. here#s hoping he gets a new monday to fri job next year!

    Some people have other responsibilities and can't take a whole day out. My maximum is a two hour drive away. Leave at midday and home by about seven. Any longer than that and I'd be in the divorce... more
- luckily there are a good 10 or so clubs in decent distance — Tase, Sun May 20 16:38
  
  hopefully Cheltenham stay down. Both for travel reasons, and a few of their fans being arses.
