This^^.

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.

I've done this before. Blues are closest, then Villa.

Probably why I have no problem with the Baggies.

17.29 miles    L1    Leyton Orient Football Club    

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.

Like many Silhillians I was distressed at the results:

Distance   Div   Club Name   Postcode   Ticket Office   Web
5.55 miles   PR   Birmingham City Football Club   B9 4NH      
6.39 miles   D1   Warwickshire CCC   B5 7QU   
7.47 miles   PR   Aston Villa Football Club   B6 6HE
10.23 miles   CH   West Bromwich Albion Football Club   B71 4LF      

However, I'm about 600 yards from Solihull Moors so I'll go with that instead. Phew!
