Following on from the market research thread, I had a think about the absurd and costly situations that some of us have gone to to watch a game of football.

I know many of you have gone in a plane, train, automobile style across Europe/the world to watch a match. What is the craziest length you have stretched to to watch a game? It could be skateboarding down the road on a Tuesday night for a cup game in Dundee, or picking grapes through France to watch a Dons friendly in Portugal... Okay, so those are made up, but there must be some real tales to tell that get taller each time they are relayed.

 

For me, I used to follow the reserves quite a lot when I was younger. I remember having such a fascination with them I forced my dad to take me to Parkhead for a midweek resreve match. Nothing at all to do with the fact that most of them were my age at the time of course!

 

I'd love to read your stories

I give my missus my length in order to get a pass to go to the footy

 

9 Hour overnight drive from Kiev to Dnipropetrovsk, dodgy roads, dodgy drivers and bearwolfs

 

Went about 50 hours without proper sleep was hellish

 

Worth it though.

That bus journey started in such high spirits after the Kiev - Sporting match. By about 1hr 30 in the beer was warm, the pringles tubes were filled with piss and there was no chance of sleeping with the state of those roads and Cove_Sheep snoring.

and Cove_Sheep snoring

 

couldna be any worse than the cameras panning onto the dons fans in dinipro and without warning, there was CS in a kilt

I bought a season ticket when Ebbe was in charge.
