Any Long-Distance Season Ticket Holders?

[citymad]

Attended all but 1 of the Home Games (except Fulham Cup Game) and most away games (except Burnley) and have been travelling from Kent Coast (550 mile round trip) for part of the time, but work takes me to New York alot, so had over 19 return flights to and from NY to London/Mcr, so a rough total for this season has been 115,000 miles to and from the US and about 10,000 - 15,000 miles within the UK. I would be interested to know if there is anyone who has travelled more miles.

For what it's worth, i want to keep Mancini. We have only had 5 months of him and is not fair to completely judge him in that time. I just want us to have come continuity - for someone of proven previous ability, which Bobby Manc absolutely has - allow him to start to create his OWN team and then give him time to make that team work.

Rednapp came into a developing team and has had 2 years to stamp his own imprimatur, trade and bring in some more players who he knows will be able to work to his vision. The money is irrelevent. Its about people. I hope Khaldoon gives mancini exactly the same - time, support and backing.

Well impressed with that mate.

"in my opinion, we are a laughing stock. we are a joke right now, scraping through matches by the skin of our teeth, playing dire, unwatchable, dull and downright shocking football. i didnt watch the game today as i couldnt but i heard it on the radio, and going by what the commentator said, it was almost unwatchable, it was that bad. i have watched the last 6 or 7 games, and i'm sorry, i've had enough, i'm sick of it. we are beginning to look like a team that is definitely there for the taking from any team. i saw part of both the spurs and villa games today, to see how they would play against two teams down the bottom of the table, and after that, we seriously need to get our act together because there is nothing that i see in both spurs and villa that can convince me that they will fall away. they are very much up for it and you can see that they take the games by the scruff of the neck and can convincingly win against lower teams, something we find exceptionally hard to do. we will need to be on our game to compete with them both, otherwise i can see it being a failed season. we now have hard fixtures coming up now, as we have had our chance against the easier teams and haven't been able to beat them, and in some circumstances, get a draw.
i'm not convinced Mancini has the slightest of clues how to handle the english game at all, and i fear for the team if any of the rumours in the papers about player backlashes are true. i feel the decision to bring in Mancini was rushed and no thought went into it whatsoever and i'm sure hughes is feeling pretty fecked off due to the fact we are possibly playing worse with mancini as to when we were with hughes. (just how i feel). As the title says, its almost getting beyond a joke, i have no confidence in going into a game with 200MILLION POUNDS WORTH OF PLAYERS and thinking that we will convincingly win let alone win 4 or 5 nil. the confidence has left me now, and with the under performing of players e.g Ireland, who, imo has failed miserably so far this season and isn't even a patch on his former self, and is letting games pass him by. he is getting his chance and fucking it up every time. Mancini's tactics are shit and he hasnt got a clue at all"

Im sure i could trawl through every poster and find a negative post they have made at some time during the last year. Feel you are being a bit harsh on the OP as we all have City in our hearts and lives.

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

I travel from Belgium for every home game, the away games in London are actually easier for me to get to than home games.

 

[mcfcinprague]

I travel from Prague, ash clouds permitting, so I couldn't make the last Derby. I got home on the Sunday after driving the 700 miles to Dover, then a ferry and then the train to Warrington (had to stand all the way on the train).

I can't make mid-week games unless I am on holiday in UK.

But al least I'm pretty close to a lot of possible away trips in the Europa cup, as I can drive to Germany, Poland, Austria and Slovakia.
There is also a fantastic train service to almost anywhere on a daily basis and of course cheap flights with Wizzair, BMI, easyjet, Jet2 and Ryanair etc.

 

[blue John]

Not as much as some - but I live in Milton Keynes (160 miles away from COMS) and I've only missed 2 league games (home and away) all season.

I am near you Liam and the only games I miss are if I am working and can not get holidays.
It is a long way home if we have not got the result and on Wednesday got all the way down to the last service station on the M6 and I had to have a piss and you got it full of Spud fans did I get some shit

 

[blue moony]

I have a season ticket an I live in Kent... Due to
my parents moving down here from
Manchester when I was born...

Get the 4 hr train journey each way to every
home game.. Even week nights I stay over...

Spend hundreds if quid on travelling but would rather
spend it watching city than any thing else....

Maybe so however you don't say we're a laughing stock.

[aberdeenblue]

theres 4 of us that are seasoncard holders in Aberdeen - 700 mile round trip
I was there last Saturday & Wednesday although week nights are very rare for me apart from the semi-final. Its definately worth the effort - go for it

 

[Danny Hoekman]

Since I moved 'further out', I've got about a 4 mile trip now.
