League One's furthest trips
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.
