Football: Clocking up the miles with Yeovil Town

IF Yeovil Town’s Huish Park stadium was full on a matchday the capacity would be 9,565 and would virtually equate to one person for every mile the Glovers are going to have to travel to away fixtures in 2013-14 in The Championship.

Yeovil will actually be travelling 9,388 miles on their Championship adventure with the furthest trip being to the Riverside Stadium and Middlesbrough – a 652-mile round-trip.

There are six other games of more than 500-mile round-trips to look forward to: Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Burnley, Huddersfield Town, Blackpool and Leeds United.

In stark contrast there are no trips of less than 100 miles with the closest being Bournemouth of 108. There is just one other of less than 200-miles – Reading with 198.

The 23 away matches in The Championship will see Yeovil travel on average a whopping 408 miles per outing.
