| Ashton in Makerfield (as the username suggests). Me & the Mrs are season ticket holders and used to go to the vast majority of away games until our daughter made an appearance back in Jan 09, and with another nipper due in June we have to pick and choose our away games. But we never miss Wigan and Saints away, Saints especially because 1 day we will beat them and we'll be there to see it (even if we have to bring the kids in tow! )

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 ?

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.

Yes, but when you're going over the Pennines to get back home for just one night it's a far better experience, believe me.

I would let you park outside mine but I don't want my neighbours thinking I support Wigan.
