Are Villa your local team? Find out...
« on: April 13, 2011, 03:45:11 PM »
http://www.hopewiser.com/proximity-search/

Here are my results:


1.73 miles   CH   West Bromwich Albion Football Club   B71 4LF   0870 066 8888   
1.90 miles   PR   Aston Villa Football Club   B6 6HE   0871 423 8101   
3.85 miles   PR   Birmingham City Football Club   B9 4NH   0844 557 1875   
4.28 miles   L1   Walsall Football Club   WS1 4SA   0870 442 0111   
9.93 miles   PR   Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club   WV1 4QR   0870 442 0123   
18.71 miles   CH   Coventry City Football Club   CV6 6GE   0870 421 1987   
24.37 miles   L2   Burton Albion FC   DE13 0AR   01283 565 938   
33.76 miles   CH   Leicester City Football and Athletic Co   LE2 7FL   0870 499 1884   
33.88 miles   CH   Derby County Football Club   DE24 8XL   0870 444 1884   
34.06 miles   PR   Stoke City Football Club   ST4 4EG   0178 259 2204   

So West Brom are actually my local team, only just though.

My nan from Handsworth follows West Brom (their ground is nearly in Handsworth isn't it?)

Villa are my nearest Birmingham club though (I live in Handsworth Wood btw.)

Anyway, post your results.

I used the post code where I grew up in Pheasey Great Barr to find Villa were my nearest club, 3.84 miles away, followed by Wallsall, West Brom & Blues.  I imagine my nearest team now will be Reading but I can't be bothered to look.

2.34 miles   PR   Birmingham City Football Club                   B9 4NH   
3.36 miles   CH   West Bromwich Albion Football Club   B71 4LF

B71 4LF gives these results though:

0.00 miles   CH   West Bromwich Albion Football Club   B71 4LF   0870 066 8888   
3.36 miles   PR   Aston Villa Football Club   B6 6HE   0871 423 8101

8.94 miles   PR   Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club   WV1 4QR   0870 442 0123   
20.14 miles   CH   Coventry City Football Club   CV6 6GE   0870 421 1987   
25.76 miles   L2   Burton Albion FC   DE13 0AR   01283 565 938   
34.20 miles   PR   Stoke City Football Club   ST4 4EG   0178 259 2204   
35.34 miles   CH   Derby County Football Club   DE24 8XL   0870 444 1884   
35.47 miles   CH   Leicester City Football and Athletic Co   LE2 7FL   0870 499 1884   

So the closest ground to Villa Park is The Sty.

But the closest ground to The Hawthorns is Villa Park.
