So less miles, but cos of all the trips East it makes you feel like a lot more! Let me know if I've made a mistake and I'll deny it.

(Note to any 'Uby residents, it's 4686 miles round trips away games (as well an additional 296 miles for every home game) so I'm feeling better about it already!)

And just 4 clubs account for over 900 of those miles, so the remaining 15 are not too bad.

My half season ticket is loaded up and ready to go.

I suspect that Westy is the Yeltzmon with the shortest distance to away matches as he's plonked in the middle somewhere, unless we have an as-yet-undeclared Market Harborough-based fan?

Missed Histon, so...
5 clubs account for a fair bit over 1100 miles, so the remaining 14 are not too bad.

Some old faces there we havent seen in a while. My other half is from near Wisbech and I havent been that way for a few years now. Hoping I can go to the away game

[pantverdant2]

Hold the back page Fish from Marillion,is now named as the backer of Dogger Bank United's bid for glory and this will
mean a shake up of the whole shooting match,their home games are subject to tidal tables!How far is that HH?

[YeltzDoc]

Now that’s a post.

How many are that horrible bouncy, skiddy fake grass? I’ve counted 5 already without thinking too hard

Yeah, quite a few unfortunately - Bedworth, Coleshill, Khalsa, SCT, and Yaxley - none of which have been particularly happy hunting grounds recently.
And you can add Ilkeston to that list from next season too - they recently tweeted to say fans could come and rip up bits of their pitch to take home as souvenirs (albeit I'm not sure they need an invitation for that kind of thing normally.... ).

[andy]

Hmm I hadn't factored fake pitches into it. The upside is all the decent teams will have to go to them all as well, and I hope non of that 6 will be challenging anyway.
