This is the latest position as of this morning. I will leave this open until Wednesday week , 20 November.
To qualify, a poster on the gasroom has to claim the distance for themselves - no relatives or friends allowed. They can be new posters however so if Perfidious Albion can persuade his daughter to register and post the name of the ground in his daughters back garden, we will surely save some mileage.
I am becoming increasingly convinced that the key to WWFC achieving promotion this year will be getting the total for all 92 clubs below 1000. So if you know a chairboy lurking in Newcastle, give them a shout and ask them to post. P:romotion is in our hands.
Currently we have sign ups for 54 clubs and 602 miles.
There are some easy wins - a East Londoner close to Millwall can also do West Ham, Bromley and perhaps Colchester and reduce Gillingham
A Mancunian could take out Accrington and Blackburn
It feels like we should be able to reduce Stevenage and Northampton from current high 20s
But we are going to have to be creative to take out Yorkshire, the North East and some of the more far flung clubs if our promotion dream is not to fail at our own hands.
Thanks for this @DevC - it is a great idea. I can't believe that someone won't beat these so maybe don't put them in yet -
Colchester 49 miles
Ipswich 55 miles
I guess Lincoln will have quite low niumbers for anyone in the Nottingham area, or indeed Mansfield or Doncaster; if we don't have anyone from those more northery low lands.
Latest standing late afternoon on Tuesday, now sorted into broad (and not always strictly accurate) geographical areas.
Just eight teams left unbid but still some big numbers that ideally we need to push down. All lower offers gratefully received.
Great to see some rare or even first time posters on the gas room. Welcome!!
If we are to get the total below 1000 (and thereby secure promotion for the club), we will I suspect need to find a bidder in the far north, on the South coast and in the Bristol/South Wales area as well as chipping away at other scores.

@Ned_Ludd could perhaps take out Wolves and Wba
A Mancunian could take out Accrington and Blackburn

8 days to go.
I can do Exeter 35 but rather hoping someone can reduce
I can provide 24 to Blackburn and 25 to Accrington but I reckon someone is nearer still
Watford - 12 miles
luton - 13 miles
adams park - 19 miles
Stevenage -27 miles
Watford 10.9 miles but we must have fans here who live in Watford surely?
I'd forgotten the Black Country...
West Bromwich Albion 10.1 miles
Wolverhampton Wanderers 20.3 miles
Also...
Shrewsbury Town 52.4 miles
Stoke City 50.9 miles
Port Vale 56.0 miles
Closest clubs to me are:-
League 2:- Cheltenham Town 15.7 miles
League 1:- Birmingham City 31.8 miles
Championship:- West Brom 39.3 miles (Coventry 39.8 miles)
Premier League:- Aston Villa 45.6 miles
It’s a bit of a stretch at this point but I can do:
Crewe 35 miles
Blackpool 41 miles
Port Vale 42 miles
Stoke 45 miles
Fleetwood 46 miles
Wrexham 47 miles
Morecambe 50 miles
Barrow 89 miles
Carlisle 110 miles
Reading 23 miles
Swindon Town 27 miles
Oxford United 30 miles
Southampton 38 miles
Wycombe Wanderers 47 miles
What about @gary3stratford ? Maybe post in the Carpooling thread.
I can do Bromley at 11.3 miles but presumably can be beaten
Long-time lurker, occasional poll answerer, first time poster on this version of the Gasroom – I was a very infrequent poster on the old version.
Anyway, my domicile appears to be adrift from EFL clubs, but I'll put forward some values for a few current blanks.
Portsmouth: 36 miles
Southampton: 40 miles
Brighton: 47 miles
Bournemouth: 65 miles
Bish, your numbers have to be wrong. BCFC and AVFC are only 2-3 miles apart.
Only 3 within 20 miles...
Barnsley 17 miles
Doncaster Rovers 19 Miles
Leeds United 19 miles
Not looking good if we are relying on any of these:
Leeds United: 29 miles (there is at least 1 Gasroomer from near Leeds so they should help…)
Hull City: 33 miles
Bradford City: 36 miles
Harrogate Town: 39 miles
Grimsby Town: 42 miles
And in real trouble if we need:
Middlesbrough: 75 miles
Sunderland: 101 miles
Newcastle United: 105 miles
Wolves 5miles
Walsall 6 miles
West Brom 11 miles
Shrewsbury 30 miles
Stoke 31 miles
Port Vale 34 miles
Hopefully someone came beat these but I can do
Port Vale 30 miles
Crewe 31 miles
Sheff Wed 32 miles
Sheff Utd 33 miles
Chesterfield 35 miles
Rotherham 40 miles
Glad someone was xloser to Bromley than I am...
Surely someone is closer to West Ham than me, certainly all those who are close to the West London clubs are closer than me
Thanks for this @DevC - it is a great idea. I can't believe that someone won't beat these so maybe don't put them in yet -
Colchester 49 miles

Wycombe 7 miles
Poxford 12 miles
Reading bed wetters 19 miles
MK Dongs 23 miles

You can pop me down for:
Burnley - 27 miles
Huddersfield - 29 miles
Bradford - 37 miles
I'm sure there will be closer people though!
I can help a bit.
Plymouth Argyle 1.0
That's it though!
I can reduce Brighton a bit - 34.5 miles from me
