found this site the other day and learnt something new www.footballgroundmap.com/grounds/nearest1 which is the nearest club to the 92 you currently live by ? 2 which club in the 92 were you born nearest to ? 3 nearest club of note to where you were born ? I know the answer is likely to be Shrewsbury for all 3 for many, but also Shrewsbury for none for some but I have 3 different 1 Shrewsbury = 0.5 milmes 2 Norwich City. = 328 miles 3 Hannover 96 =31.1 miles

I live closer to Old Trafford than I thought, 4.8 miles according to the link.
The answer to questions 2 and 3 is Shrewsbury Town as I was born at Crosshouses Maternity Hospital which is long gone.

couple of points. Is that measuring as the crow flies, rather than by road. The distances are less than Google maps. Also this does not take account of the Town moving since I was born. I might have been closer to Wolves, but probably not 1 Shrewsbury = 1.8 miles 2 Shrewsbury = 12.9 miles 3 Town as above or Wolves 14.3 miles Read more: blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/99261/nearest-club#ixzz5ptjH5Pvx

1. Ipswich - 11 miles 2. Man City - 7 miles (although at the time it was Stockport County at approx 1.5 miles) 3. Stockport County - 1.5 miles.
I'd not 'swap' Shrewsbury Town for the world, but I do sometimes wonder what might have happened if I had legitimately chosen either of the big teams from the city of my birth to support! Hey ho.

1. Cheltenham Town 29.5 miles 2. Forest Green Rovers 31.3 miles 3. Newport County 33.3 miles
Salop are seventh with 44.8 miles, although I presume these mileages are figured out by as ‘the crow flies’.
The answer to questions 2 and 3 would be STFC.

1. Salop - 2.5 2. Nearest 2 grounds (Wycombe 11.6 and MK Dons 14.9) were not in the 92 when I was born. On that basis it would have been Luton Town at 16.9. 3. Ditto above
