BessexRED Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Just out of curiosity, are there any of you who travel from afar regularly to home games? I saw last night there was a plane carriage rammed with Leeds fans residing in Ireland going over to watch their game with Swansea which is pretty mental. I know Rob from OSIB travels from London which is a cracking effort, surely there must be more of you that do the same if not further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devoncider Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 up the M5 from south devon isn't the longest by any means but still a reasonable amount of miles on the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Used to come up from Exeter whilst at university, not very far to be honest and I'd get back quicker to Exeter than if I was going from AG to Yate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth to Bristol is pretty nightmarish on public transport so don't make it to a lot of games. Annoyingly had tickets to Birmingham for this weekend and now can't go to the Wolves game cause I work Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I have a season ticket and travel down from Manchester as often as possible. To be honest though whilst most seasons i make around 12-15 games, this season i haven't made many home games at all. Between a new job and games getting moved from saturdays for the rugby/ tv i have managed less than 10 in the last 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I came in from Chicago for the Swansea game....It was colder than 20 witches tits up here... There are quite a few people that come in from even further away that post here regularly...these days because we can get every game live abroad I don’t rack up so many air miles!!

BCFC Rich Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I made 3 games so far this season and will be at Reading game in April ( managed 9 games last season). I live in California so its a 10-12 hr flight to Heathrow - of course, I visit family and stuff while I'm over but obviously watching City is the real reason Im there!

The turtle Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Stoke away was very much an integral part of my Xmas trip home from Madrid this year! As was villa the year before, and reading (I think) the year before that!) It's an important part of coming back, can't say I've been home if I haven't seen city play!!

East Sussex, about 20 miles north of Brighton, go when i can but not every match. Drive takes 2-3 hours dependent on how kind the M25 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 2,5 hours with train to Stockholm, then Stockhom- Bristol. Nice to avoid London, many hours bus to Bristol. So far one game at the gate, SW lost. Use to see 2-4 games season. Going over in easter and hopefully more games If we are in top six. BCTV is perfect, can see every leauge game.

And Its Smith Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I only come from Horfield but bear in mind I have to get past in the inbreds clogging up the roads so it takes a good few hours.

cidered abroad Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Is there a prize? I lived in Shrewsbury for ten years and only missed one home game, we were snowed in. I also lived, or stayed if you're Scottish, in Livingston for two years. Again missed one home game as I came down on Friday night but spent all day Saturday, ill in bed. I then spent eight years living in Portugal. A minimum of six games per season except 2008-9 when I had an ST and saw twelve at home. I also saw two away games at Watford, evening games and caught first plane out to Lisbon next morning. So is it a prize or being locked up for being so stupid to waste all that time and money travelling to watch City? Now does Burnham on Sea qualify as a long way?
