    Wonder which one the jacks' fans consider the bigger "derby" - Wrexham or Bristol City?
    Whoever made that map doesn't seem to know that Charlton beat Orient on Sunday.

      Which club's fans do the least travelling?

        The boss of what was my employer is an Admiral. Not all Admirals have ships in every post they fill. And Taunton is the epicentre of global marine navigational charting, believe it or not.

            Indeed - but I wanted to know regarding the database as a whole.

              In the US it’s not unusual for personnel who have served to look for jobs in government departments. One chap got himself a job with the US Postal Service.

              He was never on time, always late. His supervisor called him in for a chat about his timekeeping.

              Unsure of how to proceed the supervisor decided to take things low key.

              ‘So’ he said when you turned up for work in your last job what did they say to you?’

              ‘Usually it was Good morning Admiral. Would you like coffee?’

                The distances used are in kilometres (not miles as in my original post) and represent the actual travelling distance rather than 'as the crow flies'.

                Just checked AA route planner for Cardiff City Sadium to the Liberty Stadium. Distance = 42.8 miles (or 69 km) ... this is the same distance quoted on the site below.

                https://www.footballteamnews.com/tra...?tournament=45

                Pompey is 278 km (172 miles) from Plymouth
                Pompey is 257 km (160 miles) from Cardiff

                  Premier League:
                  Leicester City (172 miles) ... Newcastle (399 miles)

                  Championship:
                  Coventry City (182 miles) ... Plymouth (403 miles)

                  League 1:
                  Birmingham (156 miles) ... Crawley Town (262 miles)

                  League 2:
                  Crewe (169 miles) ... Bromley (316 miles)

                  Time to regionalise below the Championship to save costs for fans, the clubs and the planet?

                  Many more local derbies = bigger attendances = more revenue?
                  Edit:

                  Distances quoted are actual travelling distances in kilometres (one way) rather than miles.

                  Return trip from Cardiff to Plymouth would be 490 km (304 miles)

                  Return trip from Sunderland to Plymouth would be 1304 km (810 miles) !!
