Title: How far away is your club
Post by: johnnyw on April 26, 2011, 08:55:36 PM
I have to travel 22 miles to my club as I live in the middle of nowhere and it is the closest to me. It is a 30 minute drive

Takes me about 10-15mins to get to both of my clubs. There is a club about a 2min walk from me, but there's a bit of a reputation to the club that isn't great so I choose not to play for them.

Between 20 and 25 miles. Not the nearest club, but a) halfway between home and Uni, b) A good set-up, and c) the people really make it. Could have gone to the club down the road, where most of my old club moved to in a mass exodus, but fancied something a bit different. Best decision I ever made.

Mine's 30 minutes away by public transport..
Works out as 3 miles as the crow flies...
But a great club to play at and great people there too, which is what I look for really :)

I won't make 1's squad mate, the highest I've played is for 2's! If I do play I'll be at home.

My club is 10 mins up the road.

Having started a family and decided to stop trying to cut it at ECB Premier level I made the conscious decision to play for whichever club is nearest to my house.

Could get interesting in a few years time, as we're hoping to move some where more rural.

3-4 Minute drive, maybe 20 minutes to walk...... I can't see myself leaving either, as the next club in our league is 40 miles away!
