    I live in Dartford so takes me around 2 hours to get to a game depending on traffic, with petrol, tickets, drinks and snacks usually cost me around £90 per game

    140 mile round trip from Swindon for me, but the M4, A34, M3 passes by in such a beautiful blur as I dream of the outstanding football I am about the witness that day!:biggrin:

    Best thing (apart from the football obviously) is turning up at my sisters with a steaming cup of coffee and a nice cheese ploughmans waiting before we head off to the match<ok>

    45 minutes on a good day and when I go from work it's about a hour. When I was at Uni I could see the Dell floodlights from my room (Burlington Road) from where I lived in my second year. Didn't get to live in Overdell Court sadly.

    I'm too old to go anywhere else now.

    The place has definately gone down hill in the last 20 years since I retired.

    I educated the middle class boys and girls when I was much younger. These days I look foward to my stroll through middleclass Northam and St Mary's Street on my way to the game.

    Colden Common in village just outside winchester.
    20 minute drive and always park in the same spot every game in multi storey.
    Some games get 10am train in so can have loads of beers (3 times a season probably without my boys(s)).

    Whereabouts in Colden common do you live? Spent my formative years in the village - Hill lane. Now travel from Northampton although had to give up my season ticket this year, I have managed to get to 5 games so far, combining them with a stay with my Mum who lives in Winchester.

    Yes. You&#8217;ve guessed where it is. Swaythling the place everyone drives through as quickly as they can and where no one ever dares to stop.[/QUOTE]

    I grew up in Swaythling, your description sounds about right! Now living in Townhill, its the same but without the students, we have wellard teen chavs instead!

    Living in Kingston upon Thames, as I go to University there. Had a Season Ticket since I was 10 and wouldn't ever think about supporting anyone else. Takes me about 2 hours to get to a home game. Not expensive as if you book in advance you can get Megatrain tickets. Away games are affordable due to all of the advance train fares out of London.
