3 miles from Blundell Park
2.3 from the crematorium, which would obviously be around the same to the new stadium if it happens

646 round trip for me from Torquay. This is why I am NOT a ST holder.  Get back for a few games each year and have to walk the massive distance from Brereton Avenue.

I currently live in Bilbao which is, according to google maps, 1600km - so 1000 miles - by car from GY. I usually fly home to visit and get a game in but I tend to go to away games, when I can near London or Manchester where there are clubs nearby.

In the past I have flown back from France and got the ferry/flown back from Dublin for matches too. I bought a flight for Torquay at home back in the 09/10 season and my flight was grounded because of the Icelandic volcano which erupted. In 2007/8 I flew back for Morecambe at home in the JPT semi-final and when I came out of arrivals at Stansted my mum (who had come to pick me up) told me the match had been called off.

I got the ferry to Wrexham away (when it was their 150th anniversary) from Dublin when I lived there and met a Town fan who had flown in that day from Copenhagen. I also got the ferry to Chester away the same year. Going to a match by ferry is definitely my favourite way to travel to a game.

I didn't know Wrexham had a ferry port.

310 miles round trip by car; parking at the Kingsway hotel or on Hardy Road if driving up and back on the same day (so add another 2 miles or so for round-trip walking to BP) . However, I'm increasingly doing the round trip on the train on a Saturday as it's less exhausting! Unlike HertsGTFC, however, I don't attend more than about 10 home games/season but buy my ST just to support the club. I stayed in Cleethorpes last night but don't think I'll be coming up for the Wycombe game-after careful thought!.
