My worst Journey to a game was a few season back, we played Grimsby on a Friday Night!
For some reason the Coach Driver went the wrong Way and we got there at Half Time. The worst thing was that when we were on the coach listening to the game on the radio, Richard Rufus has score two goals in the first Half! It would of been worse if he had scored a hat-trick! and we had missed it! Luckily we scored another 3 in the 2nd half.
All in all, a 15 hour round trip for 45 mins of football was a Great start to the Weekend!
Burnley away - midweek - good few years back (90's?)
Me and a mate went up there by train and booked a B&B in Preston. Went all the way up there in torrential rain, realised that the game was in doubt so phoned the club from Preston about 5-ish to be told that the game was still on. Got the little s**tkicker train to Burnley and wandered round the hole trying to find the ground - only to eventually be told by a local (who only never started a row because he was laughing so much!) that the game was off!!! Two or three hours to get back to Preston on the train for some unknown reason and only just made last orders in the pub.
Mind you, we did then go onto a club (Tokyo Jones?) where it was £1 a pint all night - which knowledge came in handy when we went to Blackburn in THAT game a year or two after.
