Title: Who’s traveling the furthest?
Post by: tommy on May 20, 2018, 06:33:43 AM
I have lived in Ealing then Pinner for my entire life. Then a year ago decided to move to Vancouver, Canada with my wife and kids (married to a Canadian for my sins). Obviously I'm not going to miss Fulham at Wembley so booked a flight and ticket in a 3 day stay. I can't bloody wait. It got me thinking how many of us are traveling a good long distance to see our boys at Wembley? I'm 4,699 Miles's away.

i'd scope around on twitter. Accounts such as 'turnstile talk' could prove to be beneficial; also on facebook there's a closed group called 'fulham football club' which is only accessed upon request and takes little time to be approved and most people on there are helpful. If you don't have accounts on either i'd highly suggest creating one if things get desperate.

220 mile round trip from Bristol. Not far for a one-off journey but if you multiply that by 23 (the number of home games we've attended this season) it comes to 5,060 miles.

Bring a few penguins with you, they would make a good black and white display at Wembley.

There is a surprising diversity of teams that people follow here. Of course Villa, United and Liverpool are the three most popular teams but I've even bumped into a group of Wet Spam fans at Foregate St this season!

I came from adelaide via vietnam hoping to take in the last few games of the regular season and have delayed my return to include the final.  I had hoped we'd get automatic promotion

Most people tend to follow the midlands teams, or as you say your typical United, Liverpool etc. Getting quite a few Villa fans taking the Michael already typical Fulham no fans Villa a massive club etc etc, when we beat them I'm sure they will all go back into hiding, fingers crossed.

I didn't fancy the drive into London so will be driving to Bristol to get a train as the last one back to Devon leaves Paddington at 2030, which I reckon is too close for comfort. Can you tell me how easy (or not) it is to park near Temple Meads?

592miles from Hamburg
Lived in Hammersmith when Fulham played the EL Finale in Hamburg. Border control at the airport in Hamburg looked at me with disbelief when I entered the Fulham zone with my German passport to catch the flight back to Gatwick.
Live in Hamburg now so time again to board an airplane for my second final with Fulham on Saturday but this time to London!
Oh and this time I will have my son with me. :plus one:

Not the furthest but my son and grandson are over here from Bibberac in Germany so the three generations of our family will be here to watch the match wearing our white shirts. My son wasn't old enough to go to Wembly in 75 but I'll never forget that experience.

There is a woman flying in from New Zealand on the FFC facebook page via Hong kong so guess she wins the prize along with the other Kiwi on here.
