    I used to live 30 minutes walk from The Valley!

    Now it’s:


    You are not far from @jimmymelrose who is in La Roche sur Yon.
    We’ll be moving about 35 minutes north of La Roche sur Yon at the end of October!

    2.9 miles as the crow flies.

    1hr 20 min to walk it, should I want to.

    But the 14:47 from Lewisham to Charlton is enough to get me to my seat just before kickoff, just.

    Born in Woolwich (British Hospital for Mothers and Babies), grew up in Dartford, but now live in North London (Golders Green).
    I bet there are a few of us that were born there.  Maybe that's a different thread.

    3,935 miles as the crow flies from Watertown, Wisconsin USA

    If someone could get in the clubs ear at the next Fans Forum about the Valley Away charter jet service I’d appreciate it

    202 miles. The closest I've lived to the Valley is a year near Woolwich Dockyard opposite the Tate & Lyle factory about 20+ years ago.

    I currently live approximately 2.4 miles from The Valley but used to live at Harrod Gibbons Court at the top of Victoria way.

    36 miles for me, I live in Watford - a good footballing town where the community here loves their club but it both hurts and makes me nostalgic hearing all the fans drift past my house singing their songs
    In more recent news I had an argument with the Watford FC mascot in a curry house

    0.4 miles for 10 years, then 11 miles for a year, now 5.4 miles and if buying a flat works out this time, up to the savage betrayal of 5.8 miles. The betrayal bit is that I'm leaving Millwall country for Palace country. Doing the rounds

    It's roughly a 70 mile drive from Ramsgate, but most of the time we visit I'll be staying at my parents house at Little Heath which is a 10-15 minute walk to the ground.

    Hoping to be much closer again within a years time.

    30-35 miles away dependent on route. 

    Originally from Shooters Hill and closest I've lived to The Valley was Little Heath for 6 months to a year in the early eighties.

    I've done the opposite. Not content with growing up in CR postcode, surrounded by Palace fans, I now live within walking distance of The Den.

    Affordable property in London follows those two clubs around like the fucking plague, doesn't it
