Not for myself, it's probably quicker for me to get to Ebbsfleet's ground than to the bottom end of Canvey Island.
About a mile from me....by canoe!

Even though its just up the road for me its a truly unexciting draw, crap uncovered away end, can't a get a beer in the ground either.... Probably only be 1500 there as they are struggling and their gates are shocking.
To those driving down, 3 Hours to Yeovil on a good run.

Brilliant!... I will keep you in mind for my next cost saving measure across the Thames towards the medway!
BTW... does your canoe offer a full bar service with snacks? (I'm partial to a hot bacon butty myself, failing that, any chance of some crisps?)
To be fair, not everyone (other than rats) lives in Roots Hall.
For example, I'm sure it would take Suffolk Shrimper or MK Shrimper to name but a few a fair bit of journey to get there.
Only 150 miles from Milton Keynes to Yeovil, that's closer than going from Southend. So no excuse for any Southend fans in MK not to go:smile:

And the rest. It takes 5 hours to get there
180 miles from Southend . About 3 and a half hours without stopping. With toilet breaks and parking it would end up not far off 5.
One stop - half an hour at most, and isn't it Yeovil that has the beer tent outside for away fans? No trouble parking as far as I recall. 4 hours including stops, not much difference to any of the South Yorkshire clubs.

,Thats Oxford you're thinking off I believe.

The open terrace certainly makes me realise it is not for me, stomping my feet to keep warm at 4 pm nor the poor inhouse food next to the toilets

I think there's a pub at Oxford that sometimes sets up a tent and doesn't Oxford also have a bowling alley or something alongside the ground? Definitely Yeovil I'm thinking of though - it was shut the time I went due to it being quite windy!No, IIRC Oxford has a reasonable bar/catering under the stand.
From the Football Ground Guide;;
"I was pleasantly surprised to find a large marquee outside of the ground, that had been set up as a make shift beer tent. There was a large sign outside the marquee which announced that 'Everyone Is Welcome!' Just a pity that wasn't quite correct as any away fans in colours were turned away at the entrance by a couple of burly looking bouncers. Some visiting fans did refer the bouncers to the said sign, but to no avail."
So if you went to both Yeovil and Oxford you'd be nervous. Two tents.
