[Wrong-Direction]

Probably about 24 miles

If the club are going to write to me at this time I'd much rather it would have been from TB or PB and saying something along the lines of 'thanks for sticking with us, we didn't do as well as we should have but we're working flat out to put it right, we really want you to get behind us next season etc etc.

Hughton, Bloom and Barber's columns in the programme for Watford all expressed exactly these sentiments. Barber, as you'd expect, at great length.

174 for me.

Confusing really as I haven't done one away, didn't miss one home game (at least my ticket didn't) and live 13 miles from the stadium.

 

[Official Old Man]

293 for me with no away games and so this is spot on.
Well done to the club, nice thought but yes, would prefer a letter/email from someone high up in the club apologizing for the past season.

Bloom did that in the season ticket renewals letter.

Or as this thread seems to suggest, probably closer to 23m.

The official explanation of the calculation ..............
"The mileage is based on travel from the postcode we have on your account to The Amex and any away clubs’ ground you have been to. This mileage calculation merely measures the distance between your address and the stadiums so there may be slight discrepancies when considering routes but we hope you can appreciate the mileage is an estimate. Also some supporters may have bought tickets on multiple accounts and the mileage given is based on your main Season Ticket Fan Number."
So it is TO the ground(s) only which would explain those who think that it should be double.

2791 for me........quite proud of that.

Actual total 2600

The reply I recieved..

The clubs' reply when I mentioned the real distance I personally have travelled was dismissive of the large inaccuracy. Why bother with doing it then springs to mind?Baffling!

 

[Duncan Muir]

3,858

26 away games (League & Cup) = 9,706
25 home games (League & Cup) = 600

Total: 51 games = 10,306

Not sure where their estimate comes from ??
