Title: Are Villa your local team? Find out...
Post by: Handsworth Wood Villa 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.

Post by: not3bad on April 13, 2011, 04:16:40 PM: 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.

So the closest ground to Villa Park is The Sty.

But the closest ground to The Hawthorns is Villa Park.

Maybe I could become a gloryhunter? I read that book by the bloke who was a Hibs fan who became a Hearts fan for a season. Nah, I couldn't live with myself.

I thought I had problems!

I read that book as well, trying to think what it was called. I couldn't live with myself having to go to Tynecastle on a regular basis either. ;-)

Most my family were Wolves, but my brother gave me the classic late 70's Villa kit when I was 5 and it stuck. My ol man delivered Aston Villa scratch cards door to door for extra cash at the time which probably had something to do with my there was a Villa kit in the family. I'll have to ask.

I do always look out for Wolves and like them to do wel (runs for cover)..........unless against us of course!

Can you still get those scratch cards for teams now-a-days or have they died because of the National Lottery scratch card?

Though, it is as the crow flies, and having been on Google Maps, checking the relevant routing, it actually takes longer to get to the Sty than it does Villa Park. This will be the case for most south of Solihull, due to the location of the Motorway.

..so yes I'm a miserable gloryhunting bastard.

How does that work? Barnet are your closest and then its West london clubs?

NW London.
But Barnet and QPR are the same distance (5 miles).

Dreadful, I quite like Orient and at least Spurs don't appear. There were no post codes when I left Birmingham, but lived in Handsworth and I would think a tad nearer WBA than the Villa. Born in Lozells so that would certainly be the Villa.

3.65 miles to Villa and 3.76 miles to Walsall.

That's weird because I'm 3.58 miles away from Walsall and 3.65 miles from Villa but I only live around the corner from you!!
