Many miles have I travelled (match day travel how far do you travel to home games)

in Match Day Travel
Since moving up to Norfolk and being financially stable again I have been able to finally get season tickets again and getting my girls their first season tickets which they are both buzzing about.
Back in the days when I used to live in Eltham and would walk or bus it to the Valley every other weekend without fail I now have to endure a 250 mile round trip, this got me thinking how far do other season ticket holders have to travel to home games and what would be the furthest.
This season alone excluding Cup or playoffs games (I need waking up) my poor car would have done 11500 miles (the UK average was 7,134 miles back in 2017).
Cost wise just in fuel is gonna be around £1650 let alone the wear the the motor so I'm hoping this season will be worth it despite RD still owning the club and ruining everything he touches he won't be ruining my family time in my car on match days.

    220 mile round-trip from Norwich

    Did maybe 15 homes and a handful of aways last season

    It's painful that my return to the uk after years abroad is tied to the Roland era

    You can also catch the train from Biggleswade to London Bridge and then to the Valley  also about  85 mins. Frequently use Biggleswade as a route to work in London

    Used to do a 440 mile round trip regular and once did nearly ten years only missing two home games and that mileage does not take in to account the diversion I did most trips via Southend to pick my nephew up and take him to the Valley as he was in grave danger of becoming a nigel. Financial woes put a stop to my season tickets and jaunts down south on any kind of regular basis :(

    30 odd mile round trip from Upminster in Essex. Regularly do it in under 50 minutes by public transport. In the early 90s I lived and worked in Sheffield for four years. Didn’t miss a home game at Upton Park or The Valley. Night games were a bit of a killer though.

    100 mile round trip. My first game was pre-M25 and I think the journey took 3-4 days.

    Fair play to you all.  I chose Kent Uni because it was close enough to get back for home games and aways.  They had a coach from the Victoria hotel 

    I’m sure you’re not meant to choose your uni and career based on getting back to see your football club, but oh well
