When I started going to games in lates 70s and early 80s my journey was

leave home Friday afternoon about 4 train from Coleraine-Belfast - 1 and half
Friday night - overnight ferry - Belfast-Liverpool 12 hours
Saturday am train Liverpool-Manchester about 1 hour

social club and few pints and something to eat - watch game

straight away rush to station

train Manchester-Liverpool
overnight ferry Liverpool-Belfast
train Belfast-Coleraine

round trip of 48 hours - maybe 3 hours sleep if bar open on boat all night

did this for quite a few years at a price of £15 return for a football special

don't think could do it now though

Thats mad but i bet you enjoyed every minutes of it!

Every single minute mate was 4 City fans did it and we were always at home same weekend as Liverpool so got to know quite a few of their fans travelling and still friends with some, Rags and Everton travelled same weekend - did a few aways at this time and was bit hairy on the ferry on a few occasions lol

credit to you, I only live 45 minutes away from the ground but when I go away I think the travelling bit is great having a drink or two and singing then if city win the match then it's a bonus but as long as you have a good time have all that matters.

Leave ground walk to train station 30 min
average wait time at airport 2 hrs
flight time 1 hour
travel home 1 hr 30 min
total time 5 hrs.

has been known to exceed 7 hrs depending on flight times etc.

worst ever - december 2011 - flight cancelled - transferred to liverpool ferry next day at midnight total travel time before getting home was
36 hrs. what a nightmare and we lost that cold dec night to everton - the last home defeat.

The ONLY good point about living in Oldham !!! ... it only takes 45mins from final whistle to arriving at my house, then out on the piss into Oldham (Bamboogie then Envy) after home games as we've won usually ! ;-D
