Good to see a few haven fans making the trip down from cumbria, got to be a good 6 hours each way in that coach. Pretty vocal as well.
Well done for making the effort marra.

It was said 80 of them travelled, did not seem so many? It is quite a journey, made it many many times and bad enough from the North West, especially in winter.

Whitehaven made the trip down and your point is?????? Our team and the hardcore group of supporters do this northern journey every other week and not once a year. It costs these fans an absolute fortune in a season. I worked it out when we did it for years that with petrol, food, ticket entry, programme. cancelled train tickets and hotel rooms due to games being cancelled and sometimes overnight stays are needed it was approx. £4000 per season for two of us its a lot more now. Give our hardcore fans the praise they deserve. Part of the low gate is because the club has very badly treated a lot of long time fans and they feel enough is enough. It has been far worse since Neil was replaced. Also people are still worried about covid and seeing LB fans all grouped together on TV (their gravitation I would think) does not help.
