Clubs squished together....

Kenilworth and CLG in the early-mid 90s were seperated by 150 metres.

Here you go!

Distance from and to every club in the SAAFL is in a PDF file attached

The top 5 closest clubs are:

1. Fitzroy and Ovingham: 558.23m
2. Mitchell Park and Sacred Heart Old Collegians Middle School: 578.83m
3. Athelstone and Old Ignatians: 808.05m
4. Mitcham and Unley: 829.84m
5. Gepps Cross and Greenacres: 849.98m

Again, the Old Ignatians football club is not at the school. so that needs to be taken out. Who's the 6th set of closest clubs then according to Morrell-stats?

also, I reckon Blackwood to TOS could be further than those above.

[bird of prey]

I reckon in a 5km radius around Gaza, you would have-Payneham, Greenacres, Walkerville, Gepps, Broadview.
A lot of junior teams in that bunch.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Could say the same about Morphettville Park. Within 5km radius you have Brighton, Phos Camden, Plympton, Kenilworth, Marion, SHOC, Mitchell Park, Flinders Uni and Edwardstown.

Anfield amd goodison park are about a k away from each other i dont think they have any problems

I think we will see a continuing trend of clubs folding with the remaining clubs growing, it is incredible how many clubs there are so close to each other.

why? the populations growing. how many of these clubs have popped up recently? if they've ever survived before, they should be able to survive now.

[marbles]

just goes to show how packed in like ants we really are

[bennymacca]

i know they arent both in the ammos but trinity old scholars and south gawler footy club are less than 2km apart too...

Because running a small club is inefficient and as the bigger clubs are being run more and more professionally the smaller clubs will be out competed

Well they should run them better. I don't think there's a shortage of people wanting to play footy.

Exactly make the place as somewhere inviting and people will want to stay around.

Yes, Kilburn and Salisbury West have been very professional.

Pretty big sweeping statement there Jetters.

[Dogwatcher]

As usual.

[twobob]

Also, is anything closer than Mitcham and Unley?

I had no idea they were so close (1.2km for those playing at home)

You'll find that I posted a couple above (PAOC and Uni and PAOC and SPOC) that are closer.

Yeah I saw that, but the parklands/school clubs being so close seems less surprising than ones with bona fide club rooms/"real" clubs

Colonel Light Gardens are pretty close to Mitcham, it would only be a kilometre or 2

You still have Ovies;

Also, if we're including C Grade grounds we're going to do well with the 50 metres boundary to boundary between Park 9 and 10

[morell]

They still exist in my mind! Much like the demons. But I will re run it because you're a top poster.

Well I think we can include any C Grade clubs playing in Div 1 to 7, in that, if they play regularly against A Grade sides.
