Wellimp Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I know it wont be me as it's a mere 280 miles from Lincoln to Glasgow but who's got the longest/most difficult journey to Hampden?? A Cup Final is a massive event and i know Well fans from all over the world will want to be at the final. I'm sure Decorator will be there so can anyone beat that?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Think we might have a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Think we might have a winner I heard there were some people coming from California and I know there were a few travelled further than me back in 1991 so maybe I will do well to get a place position. But If i am the furtheset then I think motherwell should give a free ticket to the furthest travelled. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadywellToi Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I flew back from Los Angeles in 2005 for 5 days only, as you can imagine it was not a happy episode in terms of finance and on field performance. 2011 - I'm now 1,000 yards away.

Tid Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Croby coming from Sydney I believe Got a phone call from the wife's uncle from Perth, Australia on tuesday at 6.45am asking if it was too late to get him a ticket. After a few desperate phone calls, email's & texts I managed to source him one through an old school mate (Cheers Willie ). He's now flying over Thursday & going back to Oz next Wednesday. let's hope it's a worthwhile journey............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan87 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Not exactly Texas or Florida but my Father's driving up from West Somerset and picking me up en route. Roughly eight and a half hours so could actually take longer than a trip in from the Middle East, but not quite as long as America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
