Chap (season ticket holder) older than me and I'm 65 sitting behind me travelled from Ilkley Moor via bus and 2 trains today .Another man older than me who sat in front of me (first time I've seen him) drove up from Bournemouth last night..
Have to admire their support for the club.
Takes me all my effort and enthusiasm to travel from Penkhull.
Who travels the furthest on here ??

There is agroup SW Stokies that travel from Bristol every week I used to be with them but moved to N Wales and now travel from Colwyn Bay every week. It's only 90 miles each way, so alot easier.

Yes mate there is but as I know you know, SW Stokies includes active members from even further afield. There’s a group of season ticket holders from deepest Dorset that come every game. Yesterday I was chatting to two long time fans, one who comes up from Plymouth and the other from Cornwall. So our journey from Bristol is a doddle compared to those. BM |

Norwich (hugely relieved we didn’t lose again yesterday). Season card with my 2 sons. Although one of them doesn’t go that much now because of work.
Usually stay with family for the Saturday games but not always. Travelling back after midweek games is a pain.

The missus said to me yesterday it takes a full day up but those guys it must be a full weekend up I imagine lots of exiles still use match days as a way of seeing family and friends still living in the Stoke-on-Trent area as well. I know I do and I’m only 50 odd miles away….. |

Some trek that, one of those journeys that feels longer than it is as well because of the lack of motorway for a chunk of the time….. |

I have an aunt who lives in Cheadle and my dad’s buried in upper tean so it gives me chance to pay a visit. |

My son works away in Norwich and he once met me at Stoke for a midweek game n think he said 4 1/2 hours journey. Take my hat off to you👍 |

There was a guy who travelled regularly from Switzerland, for home games, I think.
Many years ago, mind.

And I’m the opposite way around. 200 mile round trip with a ST since 2006. Gave it up end of last season. Not missing it too much, helped by TV games. And I like having the extra money to spend on other things. |

Yorkshie Potters everywhere 👍 Ilkley moor not to far from me. Plenty in the Aire valley but not sure if they are regulars. My mate Alan is a season ticke5 holder from York which is a good trek |

I have family links to the Potteries hence my support but I know of lads from Keighley, Shipley and Bradford who are Yorkshire born and bred with no family links. Fairly sure that Banksy played a big part in some of them becoming Potters |
