I'm going for two records this season...

Until Saturday I'd been to 9 games this year and not seen us score a single goal.

I've also just booked another return trip from LA for the FGR game. In the last 4 weeks and including the FGR game I would have done that trip 3 times - clocking nearly 36,000 miles to see three Grimsby games.  

Has anyone had a similarly ridiculously set of travels to see the mighty mariners?

Nothing like that but I went to the game at Boreham Wood a few years ago while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Glasgow.  I had to change flights at Heathrow and deliberately booked the connecting flight to be 8 hours after I arrived at Heathrow so I could sneak along to the match.  It was worthwhile in the end as we won 3-1.


Serial thread killer.

A horrific amount of money, something like £10 for every minute of football watched.

I sometimes travel from Suffolk ,

That is Suffolk England not Suffolk USA.

Off topic but when I worked for Suffolk County Council they had a arrangement that some of our senior staff would go and live and work in Suffolk USA for a year while the  yanks came over and worked for us.

I was not senior enough.

I was over from Aus in Sept/oct for 4 games including 3 nil all draws plus the 2-1 win at PV so I can’t claim that record.  But I’m just about to fly over for the Swindon  match and also plan to go to Notts C and FG. That’s about 68000 kms for 7 games.
Admittedly I do have other reasons for being in the Old Dart but Town games are a big incentive.

Well done to all of you, there's times this season I've found it hard to drag myself down to BP and it takes me less than 10 mins on the bus  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Went from Scunthorpe to Cardiff on a 50cc moped, felt like 36,000 miles.

Depending which way you go you can walk from my house to BP via the 1980s.
