I must be mad. I am doing a 420 mile round trip on Saturday to go and watch Wigan play Watford. I live in the Glasgow area and can't be bothered with all the old firm shenanigans that is taking place this weekend, so I am escaping the country for a fun filled 15 hour day!!!

Anyone else travelling mega miles to watch a football match?

I drove with a m8 from UK to Madrid and 'watched' Athletico.

Took 5 days round trip in all. Mind you - it was work and we had to drive to Lisbon and Madrid anyway, so prob doesn't count.

Actually, doubly doesn't count as we were a day late for match, so didn't watch it at all, rather just wondered around the stadium until a security man hit us with a stick.

I've done Pompey-Newcastle which must be one of the longest domestic journeys, worth it for a class night out though. Also used to be season ticket holder for Pompey while based in Manchester, that adds up the miles!

West End of Glasgow to Mabopane, West End of South Africa. Rangers taking on the Mamelodi Sundowns. We lost.

Furthest I've travelled? North London to Wembley to see Arsenal take on AIK Solna when they played their european home games there. Im not that much of a dedicated football fan

hothead is being modest, cos he travelled there from western samoa

ive been alllll the way to barcelona to see them play
That was the most awsome expierience eva !!!!

Im 16 bless me lol.

me and 2 mates went down from Newcastle, to london to watch Newcastle against fulham back in January. Was well worth it cost a nice amount though even though we got beat

if u go down to pompey, u can go even further to get beat
