As an away season ticket holder I have done all but 3 away games this year:

Villa - On Holiday
Wigan - On Holiday
Liverpool (Cup) - Too far just to see the reserves.

And as I was on my way home last night I wondered how many miles I have done this year

So I worked it out.

There and back I did 5,465.8 miles. This figure was taken from my house in Tadley. Pretty impressive I feel.

Shortest - Fulham @ 50.8 miles
Longest - Newcastle 299.2 miles.

I have only missed three away games as well, therefore we are both the current greatest Reading fans in the world ever. Smart

I have managed to get to every Reading game this year in both league and cup. I said I would do it as it was our first season in the Premiership and I'm glad I did. I have no idea how many miles that is.

I only went to the home or away games I thought we would win. After the Watford game I don't think I'll be going to as many games next season.

I made all but two away games, with Charlton (Holdiay) and Villa (Grandmother's 80th) being the ones I missed.

I also missed 3 home games, with Man City (Holiday), and Spurs and Charlton (Club's Choice)

I missed 0 game all season, and was even at the original Reading Vs Burnley game. I can quite happily say though next year I'll be missing a few away games because of prices/kick off times/decent coverage available in pubs/Internet.

Great effort from Doyler and RG30, I'm aware you don't do it for praise but the love of RFC, has anyone else managed ALL games?

Made all games.. home and away - and abandoned! - bar 1.. Sheff Utd away which was due to work sending me to Devon and getting back to Gloucester at 2.50pm. Luckly I watched the game via tinternet on a 2-3min delay thanks to asian telly!

All of which is pretty impressive considering I live 75miles away from the Mad Stad!

Shortest - Fulham @ 50.8 miles
Longest - Newcastle 299.2 miles.

This is Quite Interesting. Could you perhaps go into more detail regarding the mode of transport used, longest / shortest journeys in time etc?

I regularly travelled the distance from my bed to the living room. I then attempted to connect via an internet to a server in Asia, which sent me slightly delayed picture of Reading football matches. Therefore the distance travelled is 20 ft or so, plus the distance covered by the pictures which must easily be several thousand miles per game. I therefore covered more miles then the lot of you and are clearly a better fan then all you plastics...

And of course, this is not interesting in the slightest...
