I would walk 500 miles- living away from Warrington. : Sun Jan 09, 2011 11:20 pm  

As the season fast approaches and as i pack to go back to Hull, the question i have thought about is; how many other supporters on here live away from Warrington for some, most or all the season?

I know there are a few who live in the London area.
So who lives where and how much of the season do you miss?
How do you get to games?
Which ones won't be missed by you this season?

I may as well go. Last year it was:]
Hull- almost all home for start of season and any away on Friday (other than hull)
Train- so it is hard for the late matches as the trains stop earlier than i would like
Saints, Hull and Wigan at home- Bradford and maybe Wakefield away.

i live in leeds during term time, but family has season tickets for the first time since moving back from germany this year. however we came to most if not all home games last year as well as a lot of the away games, i didnt miss a one in yorkshire last year either.

however i used to travel home regularly to watch matches when i lived in germany and maybe made it to just over half of the games in each of the six years i was away!

i cant say how many games ill be missing this year due to it being my final year it will be much more difficult, but again any away games in my area ill be there and ill probably be at most home games too!

Good lad. I live just round the corner from that bridge over the railway line next to the stadium. It feels a bit surreal when Wire play away at Leeds, Im walking back with all the Wire fans parked on the side streets, then I suddenly detour off and go into one of the houses. Should have a Wire house party some time.

i know where you mean sally! i live right in the city centre! still in student digs, pretty nice apartments so just stayed there all three years!

being in leeds means its great for away games, hudds, wakey, cas, bradford, leeds, hkr and hull fc, and then bob on the train for the longer journeys to salford, wigan and saints lol! too easy!

Moved to Edinburgh about 14months ago.

Still have a season ticket, however this generally gets used by my dad or other family members, I only made 3 regular games last year, although made the playoffs and the big cup games.

Wouldn't be surprised if I only get 3 or 4 this year too, although I try and coincide visits home with decent matches.

Fortunately we were on TV a lot last year and are set to be again this year, and many of the pubs will put it on if you ask, so I do get to see many of the matches.

Leeds City Centre for me too. Go the Yorkshire games apart from Hull, although may give it a go this year. Leeds is very convenient for Warrington away games. I like the city and you bump into plenty of RL supporters.

Will go back to Warrington for the occasional Saints/Wigan game.

Chirk which is just south of Wrexham. Get to nearly all the home games and a few away. Wrexham is bout 10 mins away so you'd think Crusaders away would be great for me. It would if my holidays hadn't clashed with both games last year and this.

I used to travel 312 miles in a round trip for home games when I lived in Swindon and was a season ticket holder. Driving back after losing at home to (then) bottom side Huddersfield seemed an awfully long drive.......

Manchester. All home games (missed a couple for my stag do and honeymoon last year) and a fair few away.

Ashton in Makerfield (as the username suggests). Me & the Mrs are season ticket holders and used to go to the vast majority of away games until our daughter made an appearance back in Jan 09, and with another nipper due in June we have to pick and choose our away games. But we never miss Wigan and Saints away, Saints especially because 1 day we will beat them and we'll be there to see it (even if we have to bring the kids in tow! )
