Who's travelling the furthest for Wembley?

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Right, lets start the ball rolling. My eldest son & Daughter in Law, live in Upper Manhattan, New York, and are flying over for the game. 3,000 + miles each way.
Anyone coming from further afield?.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Gutted to not be able to come but it's my daughter's 9th birthday that weekend, but on the positive side at least I won't get branded a 'glory hunter' by my mates!

Hope everyone that goes has a fantastic time and we get the result we all want.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Suffolk. Our roads are sh ite so it seems like a long way

Why not treat her to a weekend birthday trip to London! You know you should after all these years of following Southend.

1230am Sunday morning KO for me. Watching in a Wan Chai bar in Southend Shirt, probably late 20sC and well on the way with the Guinness. Not the same but I'll take it.

Last Southend game I saw was the Lincoln playoff final game in Cardiff 10 years ago, can't make this one according to the wife buying a new house is more important......bloody yank....

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

My first game of the season. Flying out of Lourdes Pyrénées Friday lunchtime.......virtually next door, in comparison to some. If I were religious I would stop off and offer a prayer or two to Bernadette yet I don't think we need devine intervention to beat Wycombe, just hard work, skill, grit, determination and a bit of luck.

I don't want to build hopes up BUT premium economy flying home Tuesday and then flying back maybe Friday 29th all for 230 quid on points.

THIS MIGHT JUST HAPPEN !!!!!

Work in London office - no problem. Juggle calls and meetings difficult but not impossible. Watch this space. And pass the tissues I think I'm dribbling.

Call yourself a supporter? Only flying Premium Economy? As you are representing the mighty Shrimpers you should at least be in in business class but First Class, like our team, would be appropriate. :winking:

Well done, have a safe journey.

Letting the side down by not chartering a private plane. It's a bloody poor show Mr Smith. Hope the champagne is warm.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

So ****ed, I'm Hamburg on 23rd and working till 10 at night.. Then have 24th and 25th off... The ****ers won't give me the time off.. Will have to have my laptop side stage.. Just hope theatre has wifi..

Not a birthday treat as such, but I did treat our younger daughter, (now aged 21), to a trip over to London to see our game against Luton a few weeks back.

C/C bill not yet paid off,which is one reason why (sadly) I won't be at Wembley.:'(
