The total distance they'll need to travel for their 23 away games this season is a mind-boggling 13,560 miles, which is an average round trip of 590 miles per game. Their longest round trip will be to Gateshead (914 miles), whilst their "local derby" is against Yeovil, just 140 miles away. Anyone interested can read more here.
