Away Travel Distances 2023/24
Tuesday, 23rd May 2023 09:48 by Chaff

Well this is gonna be different for us! Dale take on a host of new clubs in what is going to be some effort in terms of travel for the 23/24 season!

A new division and a lot of new grounds to go to, but just how many miles would going to every game next season clock up? Well, in round trips, you’d chalk up a staggering 7,438 miles. I mean we knew it was going to be quite a southern based league but Jesus Christ. You’d end up doing 1,708 miles more than last season!

Last season we had 6 trips over 200 miles away, next season, we have 12!

One good thing is that we have the ‘409 Derby’ back in our shortest trip of the season over to Oldham Athletic and we get a nice coastal trip over to Fylde. No doubt the footballing gods will put that trip on a Tuesday in the middle of winter!

So, our National League tours starts here, get the Friends and Family rail tickets renewed!

The full list is as follows:

Oldham Athletic- 6

Halifax Town- 23

Altrincham - 24

AFC Fylde - 58

York City - 64

Chesterfield - 81

Hartlepool United— 114

Kidderminster Harriers- 115

Solihull Moors- 120

Gateshead — 136

Oxford City - 180

Maidenhead United — 205

Boreham Wood - 209

Wealdstone - 214

Barnet - 215

Woking - 228

Aldershot Town — 239

Eastleigh — 240

Dorking Wanderers - 241

Dagenham & Redbridge - 242

Ebbsfleet United — 251

Southend United- 255

Bromley - 259

Hebdale added 11:01 - May 25 Well if I drove to every match I would be travelling 9640 miles. Home matches would be 6164 and away games 3476. So it may be away days for me!! 13 of which I have never been to.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
