Brian, why don`t you just get a season ticket under the club scout scheme/

A Cat a season ticket now is £500, I believe a 10 game multi ticket is £230, if I were to let you have the whole discount back for a season ticket, you could have the whole seasons matches to pick from for just £20 more, including the Leeds and west Ham games

Fair play travelling to matches from there!!

It's a 20 minute walk from my house to the keepmoat, theres a pub halfway between my house and the keepmoat aswell so i usually go there on a matchday.

It's a 15 minute (pacey) walk from my door to my seat. I will be doing the trip every home game and it takes me either 15 minutes to get home, or 3 hours depending on drink after game (be it celebratory or otherwise), although if indeed the Toad is now closed this wont be a problem any more!!

1. 200 mile round trip

2. 2 season tickets - will probably attend 15-20 home matches

3. About 4 hours

It's a bloody lifelong obsession !!

It was a hell of a journey for me if driving ( usually flew if possible ), by road Gort to Dun Laogaire , ferry , Holyhead to Doncaster ( clocked milage once, not including ferry 400 miles, 6 hours.( obviously double that for return journey ) Luckily or unluckily i am back in UK for a while now, so no consideration of journey required.

Season ticket a possibility though not a probability this season. Depends on work.

Hope to see at least half home games, but wont hold my breath on that one.

Filo ... I will give my options some more thought ... your offer is attractive . When I come to home games it will always be in company with one or another mate , from different parts of UK , so the multi ticket option gives us the chance to spend our match time in adjacent seats , which was always impossible when I had my season ticket.

The proposition also applies to your mates if they were going to buy the multi game ticket with you

idler · « **Reply #19 on** July 17, 2011, 06:16:40 pm by idler »

about 90 miles round trip including puicking my grand daughter and her boyfriend up.

STHs so hopefully 23 plus the 3 away games I need to complete the championship grounds I need to complete the set..

Iusually get across in an hour but get there early so I can get away quickly after the game.
Usually back for 6:15 on a Sat. and 11:15 after a night game. I never leave before the end.
Felt like going during the Ipswich game though.
