    Was brought up about 5 miles away from Ballybofey but bought a house up the road from Finn Park so 10 minute walk now.

    One of the real diehard Harps lads built his house a few years ago, about 30 yards away from Finn Park. Like the Bohs fan at Dayler it is practically on his doorstep.

    100 miles from Dublin to the RSC. Can be done in 2 and a half hours, but could take up to 4 hours on Fridays. Stay down with the family for the night - 8 miles from the RSC (often chauffeured by Stann). I've still only missed 2 home games in the last 2 seasons....[pats himself on back].

    About 450km Cork to Derry (7 hours by car). Dublin for away games definately easier (but still 3.5/4 hours).
    or, 10 mins drive to Woodies car park near Turner's Cross, then 7/8 min walk to the ground.

    Used to be about 30 miles when we played in Kilcohan, and started in the RSC, now it's about 100.

    Since my sister left for Australia, if I can cadge a lift (you'll be getting a text message shortly suirsider), it generally works out at a twenty minute cycle in Dublin traffic to the Dart, 30 minutes or so to Dun Laoighre or Shankill, for 4 o'clock, then the drive down takes something like 3 hours depending on how bad Gorey is. Then back that night too.

    However, I can simply walk to either Tolka or Dalymount in about 15 to 20 minutes if I'm not watching the Blues.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Sound. Quite a few Derry people have moved out into places like Moville, Buncrana, Carn and Newton lately.

    Also, with Derry going so well lately, I've noticed a few Donegal people starting to "support" them from the comfort of the infamous barstools. Think a few of them do it to wind me up right enough - especially in Letterkenny

    I live 14 miles from the Brandywell. About 25 mins from Strabane by car. Probably same distance as Finn Park, however my dad was born,bread and buttered 30 yards from the ground( Deanery Street) in the Brandywell, so when Derry got into League of ireland we used to go together. Been a fan ever since.
