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
 
By his discription it definietly sounds he is happy there..........<laugh> Do you think he will stay?
 
pretty obvious where im from
Takes 2 hours and costs alot of money on the train!
never once lived in southampton or on the southcoast
but have alot of family down in weymouth
got taken to my first game at 3 and supported them ever since!
 
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>

I live in that most neglected of Southampton's suburbs, the one the City chooses to neglect with its run down boarded up shops and dog**** smothered litter strewn streets. Where the roads are replete with abandoned cars and broken glass. Where local graffiti artists perfect there art on any wall or fence that hasn't already been offensively scrawled upon. Where the population is made up of half unemployed benefit cheating chavs and half middle class university students. Where a garden means a place that you chuck old mattresses and other bits of furniture when you go home at the end of the university year. A place where nobody owns a lawn mower or a broom. Where you can't walk on the pavement because of all the rubbish bins and almost every house is in multiple occupancy and owned by a landlord who has let the property run down over many years to the point where it is now derelict and fit only for occupation by noisy 19 year old university students or intellectually challenged rejects from Hampshire’s more affluent towns and cities. Where you live to the background noise of wailing sirens and the constant drone of traffic and the noise of aircraft and you breath the delightful air scented with traffic fumes and dust as well as the stench from the local sewage works. Where the residents dream of living somewhere really nice like Toxteth, the Bronx, Michigan or Millbrook.

Yes. You’ve guessed where it is. Swaythling the place everyone drives through as quickly as they can and where no one ever dares to stop.

So which half do you fall into then St Goodness? :emoticon-0112-wonde<laugh>
 
I live in a whole other country, Wales. Takes about 3 hrs on the train, don't take the trip as often as i should. Need to find some other saints fans in cardiff to go down with.
 
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.
 
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.

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!

I live In Birmingham area, takes me about 7 hour round trip for home games. Away games are easier to get to like derby this saturday will only take me 30 mins to get to but will never support any other team.

7 hours? Do you go the long way or are you miles the other side of Birmingham
?
 
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.
