AA Routeplanner gives the mileage to what I can see as your nearest football league rivals as being 63 miles to Wolverhampton or 93 miles to Swansea?

Accringtons nearest rivals 5 miles to Blackburn, 6 miles to Burnley, 12 miles to Preston or Bury or Rochdale ....... in fact within 63 miles we would probably have 20 clubs vieing for attention. Its not our fault that the North West is a hotbed of football. Its not your fault that you have nobody anywhere near you. I am not for one minute suggesting that you draw fans from a 63 mile radius BUT .... you have a population draw of nearly half as much again as what we have. You also have absolutley no competition regards local rivals poaching your fans. And this is not exclusive to just paying customers... it extends to being able to charge more for match day sponsorship, being able to flood every local shop or business premise with raffle tickets or scratchcards or merchandise of any description .... Hereford SHOULD have a turnover of three times ours ... in fact it should probably be considerably more than that. You are in a unique geographical position and perhaps should be the sleeping giant that some of your fans spout you should be.

Anyways, good luck for the future and I hope that we will renew rivalries next season, but forget the one after that because we aint finished yet with our rise up the leagues!
