Away Travel Distances 2021/22

With Dale's first season back in League Two for the best past of a decade and fans seemingly allowed back into grounds this season, we've calculated the distance involved in following Rochdale this season!

Hello League Two, it's been a while!

We've got some new grounds, one of which is on the opening day of the season but many teams and grounds are familiar to us but if you were to travel to every away game this season, you'd chalk up over 6000 miles in round trips!

A return to League Two sees a return of the "409 Derby" against Oldham Athletic and that is the shortest trip we have to make at just 6 miles each way.

The second shortest distance to travel will be a new ground for many in Salford City at 11 miles each way.

Our furthest trip is the trip to Crawley which clocks 257 miles each way. Hats off to those who make that trip!


The full list is as follows:

Oldham Athletic — 6
Salford City - 11
Bradford City - 30
Tranmere Rovers - 47
Harrogate Town - 49
Port Vale — 50
Scunthorpe — 81
Mansfield Town - 86
Walsall - 93
Barrow - 97
Hartlepool United — 112
Carlisle United —117
Northampton Town — 150
Forest Green Rovers — 167
Swindon Town - 181
Bristol Rovers - 183
Newport County —190
Stevenage - 190
Leyton Orient — 225
Colchester United — 227
Sutton United - 240
Exeter City — 253
Crawley Town — 257

All measurements in miles and taken from RAC.
