lordswoodsaints Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 I know we have fans spread out across the globe but who is going to take the crown for travelling the furthest to come to the game? I think we should all applaud anybody making the effort to come from abroad,especially in these lean times. As you can probably guess,I've only got to come about 3 miles so it won't be me.
Margatesaint Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Four Kent Saints travelling down with an early start from snowy Margate
Miffy Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Travelling from Hedge End, about 5 miles. I could be me:D
Block 5 Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 My mate's 11 year old son flying over from France for the game!
Saint Garrett Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Coming down from Sheffield! (I this won't be the furthest)
Gis Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Another couple of us from the South London / Kent borders. Glad I looked at the tickets last night and finally noticed the 12:30 start.............I was planning to leave at around midday to park up in Woolston @ 2 pm. as usual.
sandwichsaint Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 3 from snowy Sandwich and my youngest is down from Loughborough. We will have done getting on for nearly 2000 Saints miles (that's like airmiles but without the freebies) since just before Xmas. Leeds A, Col U A, Exeter H, Millwall A, Brentford A, MK H, P'mouth H.... it's costing me a small fortune!

Ponty Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 Me! I'm getting as far away as I can! You can never be too sure what's contagious.
Barry the Badger Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 I'm coming from Shirley but via a number of pubs which may significantly lengthen my journey.

RichardNZ Posted 12 February, 2010 Posted 12 February, 2010 The answer is Matt Crowe, 12,000 miles - he was staying with us here in Auckland for a few weeks, he could have stayed on longer, but decided he would not be able to miss the game so had to fly back. Matt - if you're reading this, the sea was lovely and warm tonight!
