New Zealand. Bit of a trek - even for the away games! Did manage 4 games earlier this season though.

Boston, Lincolnshire. Me and my lad make the trip regularly. We have converted two locals also who come occasionally. It's about 130 mile round trip.

1977. Or Swinton, to use its name.

Pretty obvious from my username. I don't get to the KM much 650 mile round trip !.

Not 100% sure given the spelling of some on here and / or their geographical nous !

Used to be germany and cyprus, but now slightly closer in Balby . The calais rally back to Germany could be a miserable 12 hour cabbie back after a poor performance

Sorry Wolf, I don't follow that. And to be more precise the Isles of Scilly are 338 miles from Donny . The 650 mile round trip is just to Penzance... the rest I have to swim !!

Harrogate Rover · « **Reply #77 on** January 21, 2015, 11:07:34 pm by Harrogate Rover »

Season ticket holder from Harrogate. 96 mile round trip for me and the boy. Few Donny fans locally, including my milkman!

Seems to be a large Donny diaspora.
How many were actually from Donny on Tuesday?

RTID75 · « *Last Edit: January 27, 2015, 11:09:32 pm by RTID75* »

Bedworth, Warwickshire. Roughly 200 mile round trip. Season ticket holder and have probably made all but 5 home league games in the last 5 years.

Hitchin Hertfodshire...250 mile round trip

balby boy · « **Reply #83 on** January 26, 2015, 04:45:43 pm by balby boy »

Preston for me - around 200 mile round trip. Been working Sat mornings until recently so might get to more home games in future. Defo PNE at Deepdale in March and maybe Port Vale (A) in Feb.

Shakey Wakey. Only 17 mins on the fast train. Usually get the bug unit into Westgate. A few scoops in either the Elephant & Castle or Harry's Bar before further shennanigans in the Red Lion until recently but it's getting refurbed at the mo.

As I keep saying to all my locals who watch pitiful jockball, you can take the boy out of Donny, but you can't take Donny out of the boy.

Is Henry Boons still open. on Westgate? I have many memories of that place from the 80s...

Geneva. Flight to Luton, car hire, but chance to see family too. Used to get to East Midlands airport then it was Manchester but there seem to be fewer and fewer options to fly anywhere in the North. Next visit - 7 Feb for Walsall!

VivaRovers · « **Reply #88 on** January 27, 2015, 08:30:29 am by VivaRovers »

Brockley, South-East London. Cost of travel and no family in Doncaster anymore means I tend to only do around 8 home games a season; the six the fanzine is on sale and a couple of others.

The double-headers with the Belles make it a bit easier to justify the travel when I get two matches in.
