    I have no idea to be honest, but after reading the other 'how far have you travelled' thread, I was wondering what my Barnsley carbon footprint is.
    its RED rather than green.

    I reckon i've been to about 35 grounds in the football league

    Although I reckon most of them are Northern, or at least the midlands. I have been down to Plymouth, Swansea, Southend, Norwich and a couple of the London clubs though, so I suppose mine could be quite RED too.

    Portsmouth ... we were going for playoffs. We got stuck in traffic (on official coach). Match delayed by 15 minutes. We go in just as we kicked off. Clarridge scored a hat-trick. We came home. That was my day wasted and my first and only look at Portsmouth.

    Plymouth for a cup game in the Anderson years, Payton and Taggs scored and the win there a couple of season's ago - 300 miles
    Portsmouth for a 0-0 draw, last away game of the season l think, highlight of the game was Dave Regis hitting the post 5 minutes after being offside and all the opposition players had stopped - 248 miles

    Still waiting for a decent summer tour abroad somewhere that's not behind closed doors.

    I reckon I have probably done about 50k miles just for the matches at Oakwell.

    No idea but I've been to all over on a midweek - Newcastle, Plymouth, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Wimbledon & Palace.

    85 different grounds so probably quite a lot.

    Stockport, Bradford......... Cardiff and London (for play offs, Wembley for play offs and FA cup). The Stockport game was not too bad, 2-2 i think it was, and Bradford was shat, home support was terrible, suppose it would be though.

    Been to around 55 league grounds of the 92 as a Tykes fan- several of them replaced by newer grounds e.g. Highbury is now Emirates, but I still count them in the total.
