    I’ll be flying out of Dallas on my way in, returning to Austin on the way back.

    I have
    - Set default zoom to Europe (you can still see where other lines lead)
    - Set lines to 'Charlton Red'
    - Added 'Miles' as label between FROM and Wembley as an indicator of 'How many miles have I travelled'

    Post feedback and any other international addicks and I (in reality ChatGPT) will add

    Right, here's the list as it stands. Please post  additions/updates.
    When I have time I'll check out the distances for each. I reckon the Brisbane gang may be the eventual winners of that.
    Maybe towards the weekend some smart Lifer could do a map of it. That would make a good Tweet for the club account.

    I'll try and pull together the WhatsApp crew. I think there may be an international Facebook group with different people, I don't really do FB so maybe somebody could check it out.

    Calgary x 2

    Brisbane x 3 TBC

    Knock x 3

    Abu Dhabi

    Edmonton/Calgary x2

    San Francisco

    Guernsey

    Cork 

    Texas

    San Francisco 

    Dubai

    Netherlands

    Vienna

    Portugal

    Qatar

    Nantes

    Prague

    Dublin

    Boston TBC

    Florida

    Innsbruck

    There’s gotta be a song in there somewhere .. ‘Flew in from Miami Beach, BOAC. Didn’t get to bed last night’

    If anyone is on the International facebook group and can ask others where they are coming in from, we can add to the map.  

    The furthest LO probably have someone coming in from is 'Norfolk'.

    My French nephew is coming from Paris, having also come over for the semi-final. The Eurostar tickets are probably more expensive than some of the flights mentioned!

    The Bermuda Addicks contingent have a few flying over.

    There’s a half chance my son and I will be with them.

    Funny I was just going to ask if you are including the new owners?
  • While I do reside in the UK we took a chance and have been on holiday through the playoffs, returning on the Saturday before the final. So we are flying in from Delhi on Saturday evening.

    You lot are so precious 😂.  I once did Jerusalem -> Tel Aviv -> Heathrow -> home -> Fratton -> home over about 28 hours for an AWAY league game.  Crawl out of the woodwork for Wembley…

    (seriously, well played and 🤞)

    All the additions / amends detailed above have been made.   I have also updates the URL to be more fitting with our world famous chant: https://cafc-many-miles-have-i-travelled.netlify.app/

    Plan to make some further changes
    - Will add some Charlton branding on there somewhere
    - Not happy with the underlying map image still, will find an alternative
    - Aggregate of total miles travelled to get to Wembley to be added

    Updates made to app
    - Aggregate of total miles in top right hand corner
    - Reset view in the bottom left

    FYI, before today I had never released a website before.  Everything I have created has been produced by feeding in raw data to ChatGPT, which produced the single HTML file used to drive the URL above. ChatGPT then told me how to setup a netlify account and upload the file produced by ChatGPT.

    The technical aspects of this are basic and its not for use by 1000s of people, but this is where I truly believe AI delivers its strength, democratising technical skills to those that have an idea (in this case @PragueAddick had the idea).

    @BalladMan Fantastic work. Thank you so much. Fascinating how you got ChatGPT to do it for you, too.

    I am sure Tom Rubashow is going to love this.

    Got one from Berlin to add in
