| No blimmin service on the Jubilee line between W'loo and Canons Park on Sunday.
Public transport in London on Sundays is a complete pain in the 'arris!

| Silly buggers.
Take the Bakerloo Line to Stonebridge Park, then the nice staff will direct you to the Free Bus Service that will only stop at three stops before dropping you at Honeypot Lane (Canons Park), which is where it will pick you up from for the return leg.

| Wonder how may M62 fans would bother to go to a home game when it takes us this amount of time and hassle to get to ours.

Come out of the station and turn left down the hill.
After a couple of minutes you come to a big crossroads where the Edgware Road (A5) meets.
On the opposite corner is the Masons Arms (don't go in, it's shocking!!), a minutes walk away to your right is The Wishing Well (It's Ok, big screens and welcomes sports fans) and a couple of minutes to the left is The Change of Hart (Smallish, old fashioned and reasonably pleasant with a few oddballs).

Come off it Micky, this is the doom-and-gloom half-empty forum. People have got to have a moan.

Hope it does not put too many off

| Since we moved to the Hive I have had to go beer free as I drive there...it's only 13 miles from my house but the average journey time through Hayes,Greenford ect is about 90 mins due to the traffic congestion.....I doff my cap to all those who use public transport to get there...you have my utmost respect at your loyalty....I will attempt TFL sometime in the future as we are all due a long summer evening on the booze.

Oi Oi Micky you cheeky sod, I'm born and bred SE Londoner and we haven't got the luxury of the tube network in our part of town.
As someone who already has a 3 and a half hour round trip to/from games. (and btw, only missed 1 home game in the last decade) I'm sorry if I sound peeved at having further hassle getting to the match.
I did attempt the drive to Griffin Park twice and both times, traffic chaos meant it would have been quicker to blimmin walk!
As for your comment re Salford, no comparison really as most of their fans will live within a few miles of the ground (how many of our fans live close to Canons Park? Doubt it's 5% of or fan base.)
I'm one of the lucky ones tho...we've got fans coming tomorrow from Kent and Essex and their journeys are already difficult.
Anyhoo, if the Broncos get a much needed win, it may just be worth it (just!)

| Dan mate it used to take me longer to get from Hammersmith to Charlton that it did wiltshire to Hammersmith which was twice the distance.
Sticking up for the Salford fans again, actually when ya look ar it New stadium is a fair distance from old ground and think only on one bus route think London folk forget how much transport is available round the city

| You have no need to "stick up for Salford fans"Micky as no-one on here is having a go at them.
However, I doubt that many of them have a 4 hr round trip to watch their team and I further doubt that many of them pay £12 travelling costs to do so!
Try sticking up for London fans...you know how far our fans travel and that is to watch a team that barely wins.

| I agree with DSWG we have a five hour round trip if we use public transport and a three hour round trip if we drive and we only live 16 miles away. It's not easy being a Bronco fan and I doubt many other teams fans would travel the way Bronco fans do just to see their beloved team. We did every home game and used to do every away game until finances and personal circumstances prevented going away every other week but when they moved to the Hive we missed quiet a few games as Sunday is a really hard day for us due to personal family ties and the length of time it takes to watch 80 min of rugby. Our commitments cannot be moved to another day and the time it takes to go to a game means we miss out a lot. I admire all the fans who go through it every week to watch the team we know the commitment it takes as we did it for our first 19 years of Broncos games we have struggled for the last two years but we wont give up we will be there as and when we can. Keep the faith.

| I'm sorry but how can it take you 2.5 hours to travel 16 miles?
I live 14 miles away from the ground south of the river and it takes me 45 minutes.

| 25 min walk to the station. Standing on the platform waiting for the train. Getting off the train and crossing to another station / underground, waiting for another train - its not always off one train and onto another immediately. Getting off the train and walking to the ground. Hence not difficult to take so long and especially when you are an older person and don't have the speed of youth. Think before you speak.
