    That has to be a minus one at the very least. Here's hoping it's a far longer journey for him going back than you boys!

    Currently considering a 6616 miles / 10698km trip from China although it would be one way as I cannot get holidays so would mean having to quit my job...so only travelling if ticket can be procured beforehand!!

    Surely that's worth a donation of a 2nd ticket if anyone has one going spare or those who arent taking up their second one.

    CPO (Chief Petty Officer) but not for much longer if I don't join the ship on time and yes a big drop in Salary. However I have pleaded that I will do Summer Duties, Christmas Duties (Stuff the kids they'll have Santa) if I can have Sunday and Monday off. Wife gave me an ultimatium it's me or that F****ing Football team of yours, (now official seperated). She went balistic when I said to her you can ALWAYS GET ANOTHER WIFE,BUT NEVER EVER EVER ANOTHER FOOTBALL TEAM. GGTTH

    Some of the distances posters are going to get to the final is simply inspirational. I wish the players could see it.

    If we can get a ticket (dependant on general sale) then we will be driving the 800mile round trip back to the homeland from essex. Too late and expensive to book train or air after the GS date.

    I should have been flying back from Malawi for this game but given the logistics of doing so (and the reliance I'd have to place on less than reliable airlines) I've shelved the whole trip and now depart the Friday after the Cup Final instead.

    Heard today of a Hibby making the trip from Alaska.

    Entirely possible. In the old days of Erin Web we had a guy (Ian rings a bell) who was on every week for the text updates.

    Brazil: 12000 mile round trip. Will have to fly back on the Thursday night - skip work on the Friday, but my boss, a die-hard Arsenal fan who understands the situation, has a plan to cover for me - then back out on Sunday night, arrive back in Brazil at 5am on Monday morning, jump in a taxi and back at work by 8am. M-en-t-a-l!

    Am 99.9% going to get the flight...just being a wee bit cautious and waiting for the ticket arrangements first, to see what my chances are of getting one.

    Very impressive thread.
    That Sir, is amazing.

    I salute you!

    Coming over from Co. Kerry, Eire for the match. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to get over due to work, and flight times, but after watching Irvine Welsh on TV3 breakfast television over here promoting Skagboys, where he spent almost as much time discussing the Final, I'm sold!

    That reminds me of one of my early commentary games for what was then Radio Hibs. It was v Morton at Cappielow in the winter months and I mentioned how cold it was. Ian in Alaska said on the old Hibs list "You're cold!!!!"



    BTW - on the eve of the 2001 final a whole load of fans from overseas converged on the Persevere for a pint and to talk Hibs. Would be good if something like that could happen again

    Edit: Does my 100 mile round trip to Hampden count?
    This is how it feels
