Rugby. Although i did live in Whitley for a couple off years, i was in my early 20's at this point but i think it would be fair to say i was still growing up.

Ricoh never felt like home ... but it is preferable to Northampton.

I grew up in Whitley, but family home till I was 4ish was in Nicholls St, directly at the back of the West Stand.. I sort of remember there was a big corrugated fence running along the back entry..

(Shitfields another planet)

I remember the sound of the City roar when I was a really small kid in the early 60's. You could hear every time city scored....awesome.

I don't believe It.

The cleanliness of the car can be reflected to the house ,and you have done far too much interior decorating this season.

Bus Shelter it is, andrea isn't classy enough for either of the other two.

skybluelee · Mar 28, 2014

Highfield Road 180 miles

Ricoh Arena 180.5 miles

Wessex Stadium 0.6 miles

Monners · Mar 28, 2014

HR
Until is was 9: 2.6 miles
Until I was 18: 37.1
then 31.9

Ricoh: 32.6 (and there's me thinking it was 34 miles from Northampton to Cov!)

A lot of wasted journeys in that lot!

Don't generalise. It's 180 miles to the Ricoh for me, and about 140 to Shitfields. I make 10 home games per season on avg at the Ricoh making 3,600 miles in total. In fact, before I had small children I used to have a ST, making the total mileage to watch my team play its home games of 8,000 plus. And when we're back in Coventry and my children are older I will have a ST again.

However, I wouldn't attend a Coventry home game outside of Coventry even if they took place at Weymouth's ground at the end of my road.

Highfield Road 1.2 miles -- Ricoh twenty minute walk,stopping at two pubs on the way !

The ibis is the place to stay in Northampton girls. 4 quid in a Taxi - loads of pubs to do before this and loads of takeaways after. You really should try a "Sixfields Night"

Johhny Blue · Mar 28, 2014

I grew up in Hen Lane an Oggy goal kick away from the Ricoh. Now it's 4,185 miles to the Ricoh and 4,210 to sixfields

skybluefred · Mar 28, 2014

I lived in the Crescent behind Radford Social Club--I never took the mileage. I would think it would be
a similar distance to either ground--ie about 3 to 3.5 miles.
