How many miles ...

[Trigger]

After yesterdays tremendous day out I was starting to think on the coach home how many miles the urchins have travelled this season. Have any fans seen every away game? (I've missed one, Sutton United)

Hi Trigger,

 

Do you mean the games from the start of the season, i take it, <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/afro.gif" alt="" /> the friendlies do not count,

 

I can tell you now I have done every game home and away, that should make me top!!!!

[Trigger]

Friendlies do count as they are obviously still Urchin games.

 

What friendlies did you go to? I did Boreham Wood,Chelmsford & Crawley...did you? I dont thing so!

 

Never mind, you might travel as many miles as me next season.

trigger,

 

You are wrong as usual, <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/afro.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/afro.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/afro.gif" alt="" /> I did go to Boreham Wood,and Chelmsford, I was on holiday for the Crawley Game, 1 friendly game i missed. As a true Urchin fan I do not go away in the football season, but I beleive you missed the away game at sutton, and the home game against Bognor because you was on holiday correct me if im wrong!!!!. But I have travelled more miles than you, so lets put it to the test, and you count your miles and i will count mine, Game On!!!!! Best Person wins!!!

Why are you talking to yourself

BTW - most of the mileages are on the travel page - one or two cup games might be missing.

That's What I Was Trying To Work Out Ian ? ... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

If this is of any help, the total mileage to date is 3695 - this includes the friendlies at Boreham Wood, Crawley, Billericay (Chelmsford), and Brimsdown (Enfield), but excludes the two Dublin games, (which were during school term time). They also exclude home match travelling miles, which for me is ten per match.

 

These distances are measured from Romford to the other team's ground.

Ian, at the end of the season are you gonna update the stats page?

This may throw some light on the issue:

Newport travel the furthest I see. Almost all their journeys are double ours...

These figures are inaccurate - the exact mileages is shown on our travel page - we used a more detailed method to work them out.

>>>These figures are inaccurate - the exact mileages is shown on our travel page - we used a more detailed method to work them out.

 

Agreed - with the exception of Basingstoke, which is definitely wrong. It is listed a thirty miles, but this would not even get you half way along the M25.

 

To a large extent it depends which way you go - to Weston Super Mare for example, you can go via the M4 and M5 or via the M3 and the A30.

 

My own actual mileage so far this season is over five thousand, though I have taken one or two detours en route to take in other nearby attractions, such as Stonehenge, Cheddar, Longleat, Chessil, the New Forest, Radipole, both Severn Bridges, and four trips around the Maidenhead one way system - my own measured mileage (shortest distance) for all away games is 3715 so far.
