My admiration for our fans who travel away.. but why do you do it these days ?

So, while I'm a long time fan, I'm primarily a regular home fan with occasional trips away.

For the Cooper, Martin, Duff, Williams, and now Sheehan timescale I've been increasingly bored and frustrated.

So what I'd like to understand is the mindset of our fans who, apart from attending home games, regularly attend away games. I'm not talking about your "nearby" weekend Bristol or Birmingham type games, but your long distance midweek type games eg Preston on a wet cold Wednesday night

I just take my hat off to you

But how do you do it ( not by car or bus I mean !). But why - the football is so bad at home, what prompts you to go away as well on those midweek trips ??

Is it just habit (like I tend to do at home) ?

Is it mainly the travel with mates, not the football ?

Then there's the cost. Let alone miserable defeats more likely on the road away !

I'm really curious and maybe it'll give me some better reasoning to put up with the home crap these days ( years I mean since Cooper !)

These days if I travel away it's more today with spending time with friends and family rather than actually going to watch the actual match if that makes sense?

It's a chore watching us at home so I take my hat off to anyone who makes midweek trips to places like Preston.
