Long Distance Blades

[Wudsblade]

After taking in about 10 matches last season decided to get my first season ticket for about 40 years. Just got me wondering which forum season ticket holder travels the furthest to BDTBL. Also which s24su member lives furthest from Bramall Lane. I'm about 1.2 miles away so don't think I'll win any prizes!

By the way I'm a avid reader on the forum but don't post.

I now live in High Wycombe (or near it) I go to lots of away games, a few home games. Back in the old days I was an 'every game guy'. Now I often have to work weekends or for spells abroad so a season ticket isn't an option sadly.

170 miles away.

 

[Dkc]

One of my mates lives in Munich and he's a S/T holder. He's not on this forum though.

I'll be flying over from Dublin for every game.

In our first season in League 1 I managed to make 9 games....from Johannesburg.

 

[Kenilworth]

I live on the moon so I beat the lot of ya.


Of course, that means I am compelled to go to Bramall Lane, if only for the atmosphere

Did you scoot from Jo'burg?

 

[Ukkonen]

Lived in Sheffield all my life until this year, now living in Mikkeli, Finland. Obviously wont be going to every game but will be back often to watch United when I can.... at least I can watch the games I cant make on TV now with ifollow.

I'd have probably been in a voodoo sacrifice whilst crossing the Congo.

 

[ChepstowBlade]

I live just outside Chepstow and according to Google Maps it's 176 miles to BDTBL from here. Season ticket this season for the first time since about the late 1970's. Can't make the Brentford match so first match for me is Cardiff away.

 

[South Bucks]

I was a season ticket holder from 170 miles away in our Prem season, only way to be sure of a seat, but I suspect some of the guys I know in Southampton, Pembrokeshire and the south west can beat that. In the prem I went to many matches where i'd fly into heathrow from Houston, Trinidad, Australia and others and be bundled into a car and driven up to the game half knackered. I had a co operative employer. Tuesday night games and daft kick off times are always difficult as there's sod all public transport at those times.

 

[Rusty view]

I live next to the pig ground so every time I walk past it I feel like I'm 100's of years away.

 

[1066blade]

Hastings, 250 miles away but still have family in Sheff - get to 2 or 3 home games, but as many as I can darn Sarf

 

[Houston_Blade]

3,322 miles and I'll probably make 3 games this year.

 

[Blade_In_Sydney]

10530 miles away. I won't be making any games at BDTBL this season but my heart will be there.
UTB

 

[fireblade]

12 miles door to door to BDTBL.

But 24 889 miles if I go the long way.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I live near Hillsborough, which is a million light years away from civilisation. I win.

I live near Hillsborough,

Pig!

 

[Maidenhead]

I had just short of 11 years in Maidenhead and although I gave up my season ticket when I moved there as part of the deal to get my wife to move, I made an increasing number of games in the first 2 years and had it back for the 3rd season.

Better seats as well because we were doing crap

168 miles each way according to google maps.

Missed one game due to traffic problems on the M1 and did a fair few extra miles supporting a strange hitch hiker with initiative.

 

[chuffer]

I live 70ish miles away in the midlands. I'm a ST holder and go to a few away games when I can

DKC - That's impressive - I reckon that is about 900 miles don't think that will get beaten for Season Ticket holder unless someone on here knows otherwise.

Thats obviously the winner which no one can beat

Am I right in thinking that you'd be there in spirit or would you be in touch with others who were?

Hi YorkBlade, I live near Bicester. I have a season ticket and go to most home games, if you are interested in sharing a ride when you are able to go to BDTBL, let me know.

I could have done with you when I was cruising the M40 from Maidenhead

 

[Tyler Durden]

No winner there on a point of inaccuracy.
A light year is a measure of time and not distance.

Oh you are so wrong.

[bladesadviser]

I have a 400 mile round trip from east of Ipswich, me and Mrs BA are season ticket holders however we also use the trip to visit elderly parents in Dronfield. You can normally see us at Trowell services on the way up, Peterborough services for McDonalds around 7pm on the way home

I and various others have been driving on the M40 or going through on the train to united games hundreds of times for several decades, last season we met up several times near Leamington then shared a car to the game from there. Drop me a line sometime.
