I was chatting at the Stamford game last night about away games and which was the furthest (distance or time). South Shields was the answer from most, but I thought Merthyr would have been further.
So today I've compiled a list of all our away games this season with postcodes of the grounds, time and distance - of course these times and distances can be different depending on traffic or getting diverted for roadworks / accidents or stopping for food etc.
Sat Aug 16: Hereford FC (HR4 9JU) – 173 miles, approx. 3h 58m drive
Tue Aug 19: Spennymoor Town (DL16 6JN) – 193 miles, approx. 3h 45m drive
Mon Aug 25: Chorley FC (PR7 3DU) – 184 miles, approx. 3h 54m drive
Sat Sep 6: Alfreton Town (DE55 7FZ) – 91 miles, approx. 2h 28m drive
Sat Sep 20: Marine FC (L23 3AS) – 203 miles, approx. 4h 19m drive

Spare a thought for both Gateshead and Truro. What a journey that is for both. Be interesting to see how many turn up at Gateshead for that one. 900 mile round trip.
Sigh . . .

Thanks Admin - I hadn't found that link. If I had I wouldn't have posted this info.
You won't see any action at Scarborough this season.
They are sharing with Bridlington Town – YO16 7LN - saving just a bit of mileage and time!
Still movable goalposts though, albeit grass and not 3G.
What's the story with the ground at Scarborough ? Not another Farsley job is it ?
"Scarborough Athletic FC is facing a problem with their football pitch at Scarborough Sports Village, the FlamingoLand Stadium. A recent survey revealed significant structural issues with the 3G pitch, including a defective drainage system, requiring a full resurfacing project. This is despite the pitch having been initially installed in 2017," Google. Other search engines are available.
