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!
