Started off as an 8 mile round trip to the old vic as a kiddie Turned into a 9 mile round trip when we moved to the Brit Moved house and it was a 2.8 mile round trip Moved again and it was a 42 mile round trip. Now at my latest residence it is now a 6 mile round trip. Wherever I lay my hat....

Usually around a 300 mile round trip for me and the boy. Got home to Weston-super-Mare at 1.00am last night, although I had to go via Sheffield yesterday, so done over 400 miles.

6 mile round trip. But distance isn't the problem for me, it takes a lot of moving my shifts around at work to honour my season ticket. I've got a very understanding boss fortunately.

If I have to go via Manchester, it's about 230 miles round trip; if it's a straight run from home to Stoke and back, it's 180 miles or so. The Manchester detour is to take daughter to college, a weekly commitment on Saturdays only. (If Stoke are not playing, she takes the train! . Hull, Leicester, Forest, Sheffield Utd and Wednesday, and Derby are all closer to home than the Brit. Here's hoping that more of them get promoted so I get some easy away days.

I forgive you but stop trying to big yourself up it was a 2 pence piece.... It looked like pound coin through my beer addled eyes, after a heavy Xmas session on the ale. Next time I see you there I'll chuck you 98p !!

All home games 162 miles each way from sunny Somerset for me and my winger . Could have done without last night's 20+ mile detour around Brum to the M42 ( M5 access closed). Home at 0100 Bad luck mate. For future reference get off at Junction 7 (the one after M5) and rejoin M6 Northbound. Join M5 that way. We've always done that when they've made that closure before. Guessing you live in Street. Check out the South West Stokies (link below). Should have done a u turn at the next juction A38 and picked up the M5 exit. Next to no delay for me.

216 miles each way season ticket holder , try to split the journey whenever possible . No wonder you're so grumpy and negative! In all fairness, utmost respect to you, sir. I used to do a 650 mile rounder, but not as a season ticket holder. And that was back when we were shit!

sat by some people last night who travel from Bristol for every game they would have been back home a 2/3pm last night From Bristol - there's quite a few of us. Not as far as you think. Tucked up in bed by 1230. That really isnt bad going when I live in Wolstanton and didn't get back until 11!

I live in the Jewellery Quarter in Brum so a relatively painless 100 mile round trip for home games.
The Hawthorns is therefore a 2 minute train journey for me and makes it my easiest away game. However, I spent New Year in the Lake District so had to drive 160 miles on Saturday morning for this season's fixture...!

Northampton 172 miles, home by 12.30 yesterday, mainly because I had to give a Polish guy a full match report at Watford Gap services. His English was only marginally better than my Polish so it was a very stilted conversation.

25 miles and I agree with previous posters that anybody travelling long distance demands total respect.

Another one from Bristol here. Myself and my 8 year old lad do the 246 mile round trip for most home games (although he's not allowed on school nights!)
Bad luck Dave ((Shipshape) - I was home by 11.45!

Sheffield (160m round trip) which isn't too bad really. My daughter (who also has a season ticket) lives in Durham, so its more if a trek for her, although she's 9 so I do the driving.
