Miles and Miles

['Ayes B]

The total mileage travelled to leagues games for West London clubs is

Brentford 3,474
QPR 2,816
Fulham 2,863
Chelsea 2,787

But i suppose what we would save on petrol we wound spend on increased admission prices

Bradford vs Doncaster is the closest Derby at 15 miles

Swansea closest game is 80 miles away

Suprsingly in the table of who travels the furthest in Division 1 were 10th
(Chesterfield were top, travelling a mere 2,591 miles)

All stats found on http://www.tonykempster.btinternet.co.uk/gridsindex.htm

Can anyone explain how Fulham travel an extra 76 miles over a 19 game season?

Check out his table, 8 miles extra for every team in Lancashire. Whatever route finder he's using is bollox.

They employed David Blunkett as coach driver recently

Doesn't make sense the Chelski/Fulscum difference, checked easymap with their postcodes to Middlesborough and it is .23miles difference!!!! I know I'm sad

However look at this website, our redevelopment of GP is already finished giving us a capacity of 28,000

Sadly not as good as Bournemouths ground which their annual rent now seems a snip with a capacity of 38,500

also interesting is Donny's website is evertonfc.co.uk

They are 2 miles from Chelsea so 38 miles extra travelling to games and then the same on the way back.

Well slightly off thread but i just worked out how many miles i will travel (including cup games already attended) over this season (baring any catastrophes) it works out at

8924

Not so. That assumes that Fulham have to travel further to all their away games. However, it is certain that some will be closer than Chelsea have to travel by the same 2 miles. Simplisticly, I would have though that the games in the West Midlands and the North West would be closer for Fulham, that's 10 teams. Whilst the games in London and the North East closer for Chelsea, that's only 7 teams . Portsmouth could be a draw or possibly Fulham may edge it; but let's assume the draw shall we? The games against each other would cancel themselves out.

So, assuming the 2 mile difference is correct and my assumptions are correct, Fulham would have less miles to travel than Chelsea. 10*2*2 = 40 miles less, as opposed to Chelsea at 7*2*2 = 28 miles less. Therefore Fulham travel 40 - 28 = 12 miles less than Chelsea in total!

QED

Anyone recommend a good anorak retailer?

I agree with waster

Have you missed post #5 above that recommends you check his table?

Fulham's players are known to be the fattest in the Premiership, and the best pie-shop in Lancashire is in Alsager, which just happens to be 4 miles from Junction 16 of the M6.
