Apart from the one you know about from The Bounty which was Corby to Webley, as an adult I'd say mine was from Salisbury to Wimbledon, to see Andy Murray play. It was hot as hell, but a good match, if I could just remember who he was playing. But the food and drink was terribly expensive.

Hah yeah, I can imagine it's steep at Wimbledon. Most sports matches are pretty bad for food and drink, at least in this country, so I always try to eat before going. That said, I did pick up a schnitzel burger at SK Rapid for around three euros, which wasn't too bad.

About 9,300 km, to Anaheim for Overwatch finals =)

Just a stroll round the corner then, really!

If we're talking travelling specifically for a sporting event, rather than catching one as part of existing travels, then it's Barcelona for the 1999 Champions League final and - although obviously not as far - Paris last year for the Rugby World Cup semis.

Just catching one as part of existing travels really - I definitely didn't go to Vienna just to watch SK Rapid, just pure coincidence they were playing when I was out there! Would've happily also gone to FK Austria Wien if they were at home.

As if you were at possibly the greatest football match of all time - next time we meet in person I may have to pick your brain about it! I've watched that match over and over, but I only really become a proper United fan around 2002/03, as I was slightly too young at the time to remember the '99 final. Incredibly jealous!

Mine was just down to Marseille (and other parts of France) from the UK for the 2016 Euros.

I will be trumping that this year though when I'm touring Germany for this years tournament!
