League One's furthest trips
Monday, 26th May 2014 16:55 by Col With Fleetwood taking the last vacant place in League One for next season, we've got the A-Z out and worked out the mileage we're going to face next season with a trip to Gillingham being our longest trip.
As expected, Oldham will be the closest game and that will be the closest game between any two sides in League One next season such is the proximity between the two towns.
All mileages come via the RAC Route Planner, so you can take their word for it. The distances are the mileage between the two grounds.
Oldham Athletic 6
Bradford City 30
Preston North End 42
Sheffield United 48
Barnsley 52
Crewe Alexandra 53
Chesterfield 58
Fleetwood Town 59

Even with a Southern based league it mounts up to 7264 for me (hartlepool and carlisle 700 miles between 'em 1 way) and thats without 500 mile round trips for home games!!
I reckon you chaps need to get a sense of perspective ;) |  | |

Its worse than that. Once you've travelled the 8000 miles to get there its an average £3 more per game to get in. Insult to injury, the further you go the more it costs once you get there - Plymouth £24, Charlton £25 and Brighton £23 admission. This must be whats known as the price of success | | |

Blogs 31 bloggersLetters from Wiltshire #45 by wessex_exile Tonight, Colchester United face Southend United in what may not necessarily be the most important game of our respective histories (though it’s certainly very close), but is almost certainly the most important Essex derby ever. However this season pans out, by the end of it there’ll either be only one team in Essex, or worst case scenario, none at all. If the U’s win, then Southend will be 9pts behind with just three games to go, and a minimum of a -12 goal difference to overturn if they want to overtake us. Certainly mathematically possible, but that would rely on a remarkable turnaround in their form, form that they’ve shown precious little sign of achieving so far this season. The stalking horse is Grimsby, with their game in hand, who have rather belatedly shown an improvement in form, so their match against automatic promotion chasing Morecambe tonight is equally important, particularly if we want to avoid the unthinkable, with both Essex clubs dropping out of the league. Letters from Wiltshire #44 by wessex_exile So here we are, as the nation mourns the passing of His Royal Highness, Duke of Edinburgh, the U’s face the first of two season-defining moments, with our late kick-off match at home to Walsall. Before then, no doubt many will have been focused on events elsewhere, not least the early kick-offs for Grimsby (at home to promotion-chasing Bolton Wanderers), and particularly Essex rivals Southend United, who faced a tricky visit to Exeter City – still very much in the hunt for at least a play-off spot. As I finalise this blog, I know that Grimsby have beaten Bolton 2-1, and Southend earned a credible 0-0 draw in the West Country. More to the point, the U’s will know this too. Whilst I can’t help but feel that will ought to be to our advantage, it surely must also put additional pressure on a squad whose confidence is paper-thin. We must hope that Hayden Mullins, assisted by Paul Tisdale, get their heads right, and send the lads out this evening fired up with self-belief. Letters from Wiltshire #43 by wessex_exile Well, that has been a lively week for Colchester United in the press, and not least for Robbie Cowling, with not one, or two, but kind of three club announcements in rapid succession to try and put the record straight. First, we had Tribunalgate, which certainly looked very poor according to the initial press reports, but which on closer inspection when some of the ‘fact gaps’ were filled in wasn’t anywhere near the story that some would have us believe. Then of course we had the ‘leak’ that the U’s were about to go into administration, despite all the reassurances we’d been given in previous statements from Robbie. Not so said Robbie again, and particularly angry at what he believed to be the source of the story. Hence statement #3, repeating his assurances, but this time after passing through the lawyer filter to remove his thoughts on the source. To paraphrase Robbie’s conclusion to that statement, let’s hope we can all have a day off from this sort of media shenanigans and enjoy our game at Oldham tonight! Rochdale Polls |
