I missed out on the World Cup USA due to the kids. However when they were in primary school was back on some away trips (2 nights) - the wife was happy to take off for a few nights herself in return. Worked out quite well. The double headers were an issue so had to be choosy - went to Slovakia as had never been but missed the following Czech game.

I remember ringing my heavily pregnant wife that I missed my flight from Armenia, who was also trying to mind a sick child. Good times. I asked my wife, do you mind if I go away to this game? she said, it doesn't really matter as your going to go anyway |

Started with Lyon in 2016 and got hooked from there, not sure if that game counts though. If it does I think my count is 12

In my opinion, each match at a Euro/WC counts as an away match attended.
You have to make all the arrangements to get to and from, change accommodation, sit on trains/buses etc for hours. It's not as if they're a package deal or a movie marathon where you can just sit back and wait for the next one! Anyways, up to 44 now.

A quiet moment at work, so I've done a count of all the Ireland away games I've attended since I started going to them in 2000. Including games at Finals: 54

First away was Wembley in 1980 as a kid with my Dad, first away under my own steam was Hampden in 1987. A lot of trips between 87 and 93 followed by a hiatus for a number of years, but back going regularly again in 2007. As kids get older and more expensive i have had to scale it back to 2 aways per group. Cant be arsed counting the total but a hello of a lot of money spent, but wouldn't change it for the world, been to several places I wouldn't have had it not been for football.
