Not quite, I don't think.
Our longest drive this season is to Plymouth Argyle (312 miles), but in the Eredivisie it'd be slightly longer to FC Groningen (314 miles). Our shortest is Cambridge United (53 miles) and in the Netherlands Sparta Rotterdam (172 miles). |  |

Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Merthyr, Wrexham etc would travel less in the Welsh league.
Carlisle, Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool plus several non-league clubs would travel less in the Scottish pyramid.
Derry City would travel less if they were in the Northern Ireland league rather than the RoI. |  |

But then you have to calculate whether a 312 . 53 and all the other mileages in a car with one, two, three, four or more passengers is greener than driving to Harwich before the ferry and train for Eredivisie games. |  |

Only partially true for the Welsh clubs. North wales clubs are far closer to the NW of England than South Wales. And same applies for South Wales clubs. I can get to London quicker on the train than Bangor, Llandudno, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Connah's Quay, etc. |  |

Depends where you are starting from, once you get in your car in, say, Monewdon and think about the struggle through traffic to get to the rail station in Ipswich, then finding somewhere to park and then the cost of that parking, you may well say 'feck it, I'm just going to get on the A14 and drive to the Scabby Stadium...and then I can do a Waitrose shop in Bury on the way home.' | |

Even if some of the catchments for leagues were extended or adjusted, the large carbon footprint of the home games would reflect how footballers from even some of the lower leagues turn up in 4WD, 4 Litre turbo charged scout cars masquerading as family transport. |  |
