London
The games i go to all depend on work, i work a rolling week and my days off are different every week and then when i have the weekend off i sometimes have to be 'on call' it can be difficult.
I don't go to Hull games due to past experiences but other than that any as long as i'm off and in the black.
Quins are local so i go to get my fix there.

don't know if this counts but :

we are season ticket holders at TO13 and each home game is a 400 mile round trip (10 league games plus friendlies & NRC) - our nearest RL team is Villeneuve in the LER which is about a 300 mile round trip (whenever we can in winter) - and Perpignan which is about a 650 mile round trip (about six times per year)
can't be many more fans do that amount of travelling annually to watch the greatest game surely ?

For me it's a 2 mile round trip for home games... sometimes i even manage to walk home.

Good lad. I live just round the corner from that bridge over the railway line next to the stadium. It feels a bit surreal when Wire play away at Leeds, Im walking back with all the Wire fans parked on the side streets, then I suddenly detour off and go into one of the houses. Should have a Wire house party some time.

Can I park my car in your drive when we come over for the Leeds v Wigan games?

I don't have a drive but if you want to park on my street I'll charge you £10 to make sure you don't have your hubcaps nicked.

I've lived in Stockton-on-Tees since 1978 which was when I got married. Since then I've always got home as often as I possibly can. Last season I managed a Season Ticket, but missed a couple of games due to holidays. I saw the whole cup run apart from Bradford (which I watched on TV in N. France whilst getting regular text updates from Mr F). This year I'm driving to Cardiff and will get to as many games as I can after that. Each home match is a 256 mile round trip. I usually stay the night at my sister's house so that I can have a few beers, which adds further to the expense.

I have to travel a whole 1 mile further round trip, so instead of losing out on potential discussion and drinking time in the boozer before the game (and so I can have that essential lie-in on a Sunday) taxis or driving and leaving the car in town is the best option for me!

But credit to all of you guys who travel for long periods on a regular basis to see the team, I know how much it annoys me going over the pennines 7 times a year before any cup or playoff games!!

Moved from Warrington sixteen years ago and now live in a small village in the west of the Irish Republic.

Fly back for about eight or so games a season but always Saints and Wigan at home.
