Away Games

[Foolg]

Yes, but only because of workload and the way that the fixtures have come around.

Last season on my summer break I was able to get to a couple of games before uni started (Portsmouth and one other I've forgotten), and more so over Christmas, whilst doing a fair few up north while in term time.

However this year a lot of the games have been on evenings (local to me) and therefore getting back is an issue, likewise a few i'd have normally done were slap bang in the middle of exams. Also started spending money on other things while i've got the chance, such as Uni trips to Krakow and Berlin. Only here for another 18 months, whereas the Albion will always be around, and I can't afford to do everything. Lot more planned for the second half of the season though.

Usually do around 8-10 away games each year. This season I have been to ZERO. Too expensive and takes up the whole weekend.

Only if you choose to stay up there the whole weekend

I used to manage half a dozen each season, but the last few years have been lean. Two of them were due to distances, as we were living in Cornwall (though we did manage Peterborough, Barnsley and Stoke from there). Now we're back, I've got a season ticket and this has given me the football fix I was missing. Consequently, I've done no away games at all so far this season, but plan to be at Forest at Easter.

What I mean is- Let's say Sheff Weds away as an example- Early night Fri and won't go out due to early start. Sat travel all morning and travel all sat eve back. Sunday will be knackered. It pretty much takes up your whole weekend for 90 mins of footie.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Normally get to 6-10 aways but this year I've only done Hillsborough - did get to Ewood Pk on the Sat too but can't count that.
Was going to do Barnsley last Sat but the feckers are still in the cup ....
Might do Bolton & Forest and pos Leeds but defo down on previous years.

 

[Brightonia]

Like to go to a few but only been to Blackpool and Palace away! Both were shite!

Not sure if I'll go to another away this season but might squeeze one in if I can!

The money / cost factor does seem to be creeping in more and more and not just from STHs,

Although our average away following is still the highest it has been for about 10 years.


I've personally done fewer this season compared with the last couple, but we're all individual cases - our average is 1500 odd, so I wouldn't draw many conclusions from NSC.

 

[Mackenzie]

Yeah a bit. The pub trade is suffering at the moment, something has got to give.

 

[Springal]

Same. This will be my lowest amount of away games in a long time I think.

Will be lucky to do more than 3 this season.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Normally manage about five a season. So far have done three. Whatever the result you cant beat an away trip. Opportunity to drink and see other grounds- it does get expensive though if you dont book the train well in advance.

 

[Marc1901]

Yep.

Usually do about 12-16 away a season but this season only done about 5 with a 2/3 more to do.

Poor!

 

[chucky1973]

I'm down on last season. Moved teams at work which means I work more Saturday afternoons than I used to. Paying close to £500 for a season ticket means if I'm going to use up annual leave to go to games, it's going to be home ones.

I've done Swindon, Palace, Charlton, Blackburn, Birmingham so far (no wins...). Definitely doing Cardiff & Bristol City, and hopefully Bolton, Forest, Leeds & Peterborough if I can get the time off.

Please dont do anymore!!

 

[Djmiles]

I did about 12 or so last season, but have only done Hull, Millwall Wolves, Palace, Charlton and Birmingham this season .

Although I am down for the Bristol, Bolton and Barnsley triple header in March and am hoping to do Middlesborough, Peterborough and Leeds which would take to what I did last season pretty much.

 

[Beach Hut]

12 away so far and another 3 to go.

May do Peterborough dependant of importance

 

[Blackadder]

Usually do 6 - 13 aways.

This season I been to Charlton......and that's it. I did have a ticket for the doomed Blackburn game.

Happy with the Amex. Too many midweek away games. I don't have any plans to do any more aways at the moment.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Having a baby has severely hindered my away travel this season & cant see it changing next season either

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Please dont do anymore!!

Records are there to be broken, right
