I was just wondering where *up north" anyone on here lived and if you managed to get to any home or away games?
We are based in Doncaster and (try to) get to the vast majority of home and away games, unless they are home midweek games, as that would mean getting back extremely early in the morning |  |

We are in Doncaster, not too far away from there, around 10 miles away I would say
Why Carcroft? |
My wife has family who live in South Elmsall, and looking around, we found this lovely bungalow, that we both fell in love with, also it`s close enough to them without being too close lol | | | |

Nottingham which isn’t the north unless you’ve never left the M25.
I go to games whenever I can (but junior football and life get in the way), often with a couple of other locally based Blues. [Post edited 21 Apr 2021 13:35]

Lancaster . I was born in Ipswich so reason I support them. Followed them since 1981 , go to mainly games in North or Midlands. Use to watch at Portman Road when family alive down there. Been some good highlights and lowlights over the years at games. | | | |

If you ever fancy a trip to a game where we drive past your way, we are travelling from Doncaster, then drop me a line, more than welcome to take you, if our kids aren't with us |
Thank you - that very kind of you. I'm sending you a pm | | | |

Did you go to KHS? |
This is a very specific acronym that I assumed only an elite and worthy few would recognise (myself being one of them)
Are you referring to a particularly wonderful institution not far from the sea? (Opposite a garage)
If not, please ignore [Post edited 21 Apr 2021 14:01]

Fife in Scotland. Used to go to games in Sunderland and Middlesborough in the heady days of the Championship. Very occasional home games when back home in Suffolk. Sad (or should it be glad) to say I have not seen us play live in league 1 yet. Best away day was a pre-season friendly in Brechin when Jim was manager. You have to love a ground with a hedge running down one side! | | | |

As my username suggests, I live in Yorkshire.
Moved up here for uni, met a Yorkshire lass (from a small village near Doncaster so I know it well) who graduated before me and got a job in Leeds and I followed. We're now married, had a son two months ago, and live near Pontefract (where as an aside former players Paul Green & David Norris run a 5-a-side place/gym - although I've not been). We both work in Leeds City Centre, and had out house on the market looking to move to a particular village between Leeds/York when Covid struck. Given the uncertainty of the industry I work - one of the most impacted - we decided to stay for the time being.
For the first few years I lived here, including my uni days, I kept my season ticket. Now, I probably go to two or three home games a season, but the majority of Northern/Midlands away days. My wife and her family are all Sheffield Wednesday fans (ST holders), so I'm hoping they are relegated. |  | | |

An, err, "institution" at Hollesley Bay?!  |
Ha
I haven’t served time there.. yet anyway 😂
This is an institution of the educational kind | | | |
| Northern based Blues on 14:42 - Apr 21 with 1702 views | keighleyblue |
I'm in Keighley on W Yorks / Lancs border.
I used to travel to most games within 2 hours of home, with a bunch of Leeds-based people so witnessed all our glorious victories in the North and Midlands from mid-nineties onwards in the Prem & Championship but now restrict it to 1 hr max. away, so Accrington, Rochdale, Sheffields, Hudds if we ever get back up.
Was working in Basildon until recently so was able to get along to all our midweek home games.
Bit of an academic question, though - not sure I'd want to go and watch this sh1tshow even if we were allowed to return to grounds! [Post edited 21 Apr 2021 14:46]

Sorry to hear your health isn't great, hope you are OK and get to see the resurgent ITFC form next season | |

Thank you, hopefully all is okay now, but the last four years, have taken their toll. If nothing else, Covid19 has taught me that we are only here once, and i`m going to try and enjoy life while I can | | | |

It's also the acronym of my alma mater, which is neither near the sea nor opposite a garage and maybe where Hype is referring to. |  | | |

I lived in Stoke on Trent in the mid 90s when I was at uni, and while there met a couple of lads who I still meet up with at away games and they stay with me or mates when they come to Ipswich for home games.
One is from Shropshire and gets the train to games from Stafford, the other is from Manchester.
I’d go to games from Stoke whenever we were playing in the Midlands or the North while it was Uni term time.
Got chatting to them both on trains to and from games and became life-long friends, went to each other’s weddings etc. |  |
