Living in Boston USA but working in Doha Qatar, which is about 3,250 miles from London.
Personally, this playoff final means more than the prospect of watching the World Cup here in November!

Travelling across from Somerset.... just found my old Stags scarf from the late 80's, so might donate it to the Paddington statue when the train gets in there.

I can see Wembley from my flat.

Door to door it's a 1h 2m walk. 3.0 miles.

Do I win for shortest route?

Unfortunately my view is of the back of other office blocks on Oxford Street, so you probably win the office view contest ;)

Anyone living in Mansfield who has been to all the away games this season has travelled over 7,000 miles.

You could have redeemed yourself but didn't you also turn up at half time to a game

Sounds like ‘part time’ is a bit of a stretch Pete. ‘Barely there at all Pete’ fits much better ;)

Yes true, it was Crewe away when we won 3-0, stuck in a traffic jam on A50 and missed the first two goals. I know a lot of folk who have missed goals at the One Call going for a piss or a pie. One bloke who stood in front of me in the second half at Scunthorpe last month was complaining that he hadn’t seen any of the four goals that day.

Also arrived at Fleetwood after 25 mins in the FA Cup reply when we lost 5-0. Didn’t miss any of the goals though but had to listen to that sailor goal celebration music about twenty times as they kept showing replays of the goals on their big screen.

I would imagine that would be my daughter, she is flying in on Saturday morning stopping in travelodge in Wembley on Saturday night and then catching a flight back at 10 am on Sunday morning. She has to be at work on Monday.

I am just so proud that I have brought her up right.

I also have another daughter and my 5 year old grandson travelling in from Swindon.

It will be his first Stags game a bit like his mum whose first game was Wembley in 1987.



Plane delayed at Toronto airport, it’s going to be a tight call.

Let’s hope she makes kick off
