Norfolk Royal I watched most of the games in my local pub which is about 250 yards from my house.

I'm no mathmetician but I would fully expect the distance travelled to be several miles.


Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our winner.

You can't beat a thinly veiled "I'm a better fan than you..." thread...

So far, I am better than quite a few people. But then I knew that already

I only missed 1 game home or away - the pre-season friendly at Rushden & Diamonds. Went to all the other friendlies (including Sweden), every Premiership game and every cup game. Also went to every home reserve game. But I only bothered going to 1 away reserve game (v Chelsea).

I reckon it has cost me more than 7 grand following the Royals this season - including all the beer money for match days.

Has it been worth it? Yeah, every oxf*rd penny. Bring on next season.

What a bunch of plastics!!

I went to every game home and away during the 1979/80 season. Except for a league cup away match in midweek at Mansfield.

1871 Royal As an away season ticket holder I have done all but 3 away games this year:

Villa - On Holiday
Wigan - On Holiday
Liverpool (Cup) - Too far just to see the reserves.

And as I was on my way home last night I wondered how many miles I have done this year

So I worked it out.

There and back I did 5,465.8 miles. This figure was taken from my house in Tadley. Pretty impressive I feel.

Shortest - Fulham @ 50.8 miles
Longest - Newcastle 299.2 miles.


You are in fact Kevin Dillon, and I claim my £5.

I actually know KD. Spoke to him at Bolton as he was getting off the coach. He goes into my uncles work a lot. Sprayworks car body shop. And he asked us if we had tickets for the game my uncle replied 'Yeah do you want some', he laughed. 8)

I visited my toilet several times today and missed it only once!

What does that make me?

A great fan of the toilet or a little careless?

No. It just makes you a bit of an idiot posting something like that.

I didn't miss a single game. Every game that I attempted to attend I made it there in time for kick off.

Yay me!

brendywendy I made every home league game
went to villa, and man u away
home vs darlington in the lge cup
home vs burnley (x 2 as 1 cancelled) in the fa cup
home Vs man U in the fa cup
+ three reserve games(west ham, arsenal, chelsea) +the national reserve league final vs bolton
+ preseason game vs feyenoord

not as far, or as expensive as most of you lot, quite modest really
so im still probably considered as moderately plastic

but who cares, im pretty happy with my tally


same here but only made arsenal away due to young family also am very happy with our tally and what a season, now where's that renewal form? :wink:

I apologise for not joining in the self-congratulatory "look at my big Reading n*b" 'cos I'm a much better fan than you!"

Humour eh? Why bother! :roll:

Huntley & Palmer I have only missed three away games as well, therefore we are both the current greatest Reading fans in the world ever. Smart


I only *went* to three away games. The net result being that I have a lot more money than you. Although no girlfriend, which is amazing.
