Travelling Home Fans Sunday 17/09/2017

Post by cantonwarrior78 »

I was just wondering how far people are travelling for the crucial game v Castleford this weekend.

I will be completing the 400 mile round trip from South Wales , but cannot wait.

Cmon you Warriors.

Good effort from both parties. I wonder how many significantly out of areas Warriors fans there are.

Do either of you get the chance to go to many games ?

We're only 150 round trip from Cumbria every home game but it does mean we're closer to Newcastle for Magic

I don't get to as many as I'd like to. My 4 year old boy loves coming too so weekend games work better, even though I prefer the atmosphere of a Friday night game. Went to St Helens the other week and I'll be at Old Trafford WHEN we get there.

Well done to all Wigan Warriors fans who travel from afar ????????????⚪️

In the 80's/90's I used travel to the weekend home games from Aberdeen, that was 758 miles round trip. Now I travel to all home (about a 3 mile round trip) & away games ???? ????????⚪️

that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I now feel humbled after reading the previous comments. I'm umming and ahhing about going to some games and it's only four miles. It's because of support like these fans offer that we really are the best.
In the eighties, I used to stand (at Central Park) with a group who came from Clitheroe and at the time I thought they were long distance supporters.
E.W, Kevbrown et al, you deserve a trophy. Old Trafford will make it all worth while.

Can't compete, just a 110 mile round trip from Morley.

Luckily I'm close to Leeds, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Cas. Even Hull is an easy journey as the M62 quietens down heading east.

Don't get to many home games as I gave up on Friday nights on the motorway years ago. Used to go to CP on Sundays. This is a rare treat.
