It is clear that the club needs to move 45 miles from Brisbane Road in order to be located closer to their fans.

I should thank my lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) stars. I still live in Leyton, a 10 minute walk away from Brisbane Road.

Takes 90 minutes door to door by using the trains for me.

There was a time when I could get an early Ryanair flight from Prestwick to Stansted and fly back on the 21.45 flight. If it ran to schedule I could be in the Silver Tassie by 11.30 and the tickets were dirt cheap.

As a fully paid up member of Extinction Rebellion the guilt of flying like that now would be too much and nobody wants to get Greta angry.

Besides the flight no longer runs.

Why don't you park at home and save your legs the last mile 😉

I used to do Stansted - Prestwick - Stansted in a day when I had to work in Glasgow. Would be in the office before 9am and before most turned up and left office at 6pm. Long day, but preferable to spending a night there :-)

105 miles each way. Not good as a season ticket holder but better for a lot of away games.
Good when you've got company aka DuddingtonO.
