How far would you drive to watch professional soccer?

I don't drive - I pedal.

 

I live in Cleveland and hold season tickets for the Columbus Crew. 117 miles, 2 hours each way. I have driven to Chicago v Columbus and DC Utd v Columbus, both about 6 hours one way. I've flown to Boston for US v Jamaica and LA for Gold Cup 2002.

 

That's what I was thinking. We drive 300 miles for out of boredom. I live for the day when our gas money serves a purpose.

 

I wish I lived in a place that small with so much to do. Europe is the way to go, folks.

 

I drive average of 150/200 miles twice or so a month for Man City away games. Sometimes I only need to travel 15 miles, sometimes up to 300.

And last season I did drive from Manchester to Lokeren, Belgium- 500 miles maybe?

Oh, and flew from Manchester to Berlin, then drove up from there to Groclin in Poland in november for thier game - think that was like 700/1000 miles. (and we got beat. )

 

For Man City?

Well done! I wish there were more loyal supporters like yourself.

 

Well not sure if this question mean is for one match or every weekend.... Drive about 100 hundred every weekend to watch the Fire... I have driven to almost every stadium in the US to watch the Fire.... And have caught alot of the US Nats...via automoble... So basically if there is a game to be watched I would drive there....

 

i'm gonna drive 10 hours each way for the us/jamaica qual. in columbus, and i have tests the next day :-D

 

i'm gonna drive 10 hours each way for the us/jamaica wc qualifier in november, and i have a test the next day...

 

I drove 2800 miles round trip to Dallas and Kansas City earlier this year for USA/Mexico and Colorado/Kansas City.

I've driven to DC, 270 miles one-way, around 15 times this year, quite a few as one-day round trips - and twice to catch a bus to East Rutherford.

I've also driven to Charleston, SC: 300 miles one-way

During the Champions League I did a Durham-Philadelphia-Pittsburgh-Durham trip and after flying to Newark, I went Newark-East Hartford-Newark-Philadelphia-Newark.

 

Not a drive, but a flight to Munich then a train to Bremen to watch my favourite player, Paul Stalteri, Mr. Canada, play against Dortmund. Worth every minute... and yes, I did a few other things while I was there. I'll be doing it again in February or March 2005.

 

The most I've driven for a match is 600 miles each way. It was worth every minute of it.

 

we usually take trains in japan.

 

I'm a season ticket holder for Leeds United, but live 200 miles from Leeds. That a nice 400 miles round trip, unless i'm at my parent's place in which it is 280 miles each way. I don't have a problem doing either.

I do prefer taking the train though...

 

I was going to drive to Denver, 560 miles one way, from my parents' house to see a Crapids game against the Fire, instead I got tickets to the Liverpool Roma game in NJ. If there's a Hex game or a friendly in Denver I'd drive 680 miles one way there and if it's in Seattle I'd drive 816 miles there.

 

it depends...I've flown to the UK to go to Arsenal games and plan to take the Eurostar from Paris for a Fulham game this winter....However I wouldn't drive any further then the burbs to the city for an MLS game...

 

I drove all over England. Been to Milan and Baralona. Just to watch Newcastle. In Barcelona, it rained the day of the game. It got called off. Are flights were booked to come home that night. We watched it in England, unlucky.

 

Westerners are going to have skewed results, as things are just farther away here. I wouldn't think twice about driving to

 

Damned return key...

...driving to San Jose to see the Galaxy play up there, and that's a whole hell of a long way away. North Jersey to Foxboro for a WCQ would be a snap, too.

Of course, I did just fly 9 timezones to watch a couple of meaningless European league matches -- does that count?

 

Thats impressive mate. But distance is irrelevent. You follow your club. End of. Just so happens i live close to St James Park. If i lived anywhere in the world. You could bet anything that my arse would be on my seat come kick off on a Saturday afternoon.

 

Im driving almost 700 to see it.
