Theres about 45 of us in the Irish Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Club on Facebook
I'm based in Dublin and try and get over to as many games as I can - usually 5-6 a
year. Travel is dependent on cheap Ryanair flights, (and family committments) as I
try to make it over and back in the day to keep costs down (not having to splash out
on accommodation)
Sometimes away games work out easier as flying into East Midlands etc is usually cheap
and within easy range for Nottingham, Leicester etc.
Homes games are obviously preferable but Ryanair keep messing about with flight times
in and out of Leeds. Some times of the year it works out perfectly, and then other times
its impossible leaving Manchester the only real option, but landing taxes etc there are off the
wall....
Train timetables are another story altogether.
Still - still beats the efforts made in the late 90's when we used to head over on the Ferry
leaving Dublin at about 8.00 on Friday night and not getting back until 8.00 Sunday
morning with no sleep. It was worth it after a win, but after a 0-0 draw or worse still a defeat
if left one questioning the sanity of it all.
Still - its beats supporting Man U
