That was a factor for me, 400 mile round trip

plus cardio-vascular problems that made sitting in the cold and walking up the hill to County Hall a lottery. In the season after I gave it up I went to about half a dozen matches and quite enjoyed sitting in different places, but made a positive decision that the Blackburn promotion match would be my last.

I think if I lived in Norwich I would still want to go, after all I did round trips from Watford all through the late 90s and pre-Lambert years, which were pretty dire from a football point of view. As far as going to every match is concerned, I would skip those in the bleakest midwinter but use sellback if possible.
