lordswoodsaints Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 I know we have fans spread out across the globe but who is going to take the crown for travelling the furthest to come to the game? I think we should all applaud anybody making the effort to come from abroad,especially in these lean times. As you can probably guess,I've only got to come about 3 miles so it won't be me.

RichardNZ Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 The answer is Matt Crowe, 12,000 miles - he was staying with us here in Auckland for a few weeks, he could have stayed on longer, but decided he would not be able to miss the game so had to fly back.
