Going to away games, is it a drug you can wean yourself off?

    Just wanted to know everyone else's thoughts...

    The reason I ask - I didn't go to any away games last year as we had a newborn in June, however now he's a year old I can go to a few again (Swansea, Arsenal already booked) and I had no intention of going to Spurs but as soon as I got the reminder today I got a ticket!
    Is it just me that's addicted?!

    No it's definitely not just you. I'm off to Hull and Burnley this year - would I really go to these places otherwise?

    Away games are so bloody addictive.

    I went six years without missing a game in the 80's. Then after a drunken binge failed to wake up and missed the coach to Liverpool. Typically we won 1-0 with a late Moran goal. I was gutted for weeks.

    You just need to get through the withdrawal symptoms.

    Lambo - you missed this line inserted above!!

    I have been to less away games since getting season tickets 4 years ago. I miss them massively, however I have a family and the wife and daughter need some attention too. My son doesn't agree.

    Love away games, and happily so does my 17 year old son. I think it is addictive to be honest ! My ex was always pretty good about us going to away games and she came with us sometimes and went shopping - remember Carlisle away and we stayed there overnight, she loved the shopping centre and we had a great night out after the game with the Carlisle fans, even though we lost courtesy of a cracking og by Harding ! Not so easy now as my new gf isnt so keen. Really looking fwd to the LC game at Arsenal though.

    Started going to away games regularly last year, been to Bournemouth Swindon and Millwall so far this year with Arsenal and Spurs tickets booked - trying to get to as many as possible before I go off to Uni next year.
