I keep forgetting I'm 20+ miles North of Perry Barr. Both Owlerton & NSS are far easier to get to for me than Cowley. Anyway.... Owlerton & NSS are closer than the next closest club in the Championship, which I imagine is Scunthorpe. Still less of a commute for the visiting fans than most Championship teams.

I can do Perry Barr in 2 hours and I have to drive past Oxford to get there. They were all googled during a traffic jam, as it was about 4 p.m. yesterday. Not that time of day makes much difference to the M6 through Birmingham, it's always a traffic jam and when it isn't (between 11pm and 5 am) they're doing roadworks somewhere and that makes it worse. 11 minutes ago, ProudtobeaBrummie said: Agreed I wouldn't want to be catching a lift off him to any of them destinations .
