Away Games 25/26 Season

[Spiv]

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.

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.

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.
