Quoted from RichMariner


I had no idea where Disley, Podge or any of our 15/16 side lived when they won promotion, and I have no idea where McAtee, Holohan, Waterfall etc live now. But the fans are connecting with the players, mainly through what they do on the pitch


They do their PR on the pitch??

I seem to recall some russian team that trained in the Moscow area and then flew about 200 miles or so to play their Home games in Siberia,


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I'm sure Disley lived Market Rasen area when with us, and still does now I believe, does Hurst still live in Sheffield?

I wonder if this obsession with living in the town they play is a tribal thing?

It actually means excrement all. One has to remember that it is merely a job to them. Naturally, I do think that successful sides have a connection with the fans but that can happen regardless of where you’re from or where you live.

There’s also the small matter of it not really being important…

Quoted from MuddyWaters
Several properties still appear on the club’s history on Companies House.


The club has, to my knowledge a couple of properties in Waltham.
I can remember walking my dog around the spar shop there and Harry Willis popped out the flats behind the shop, I think Alan Buckley lived in Waltham or possibly still does.

I do an hour drive everyday and it’s no problem , I only work 7 hours a day .

These players probably only do 3-4 hours training 4 times a week so I’m sure it’s not too strenuous for them .
It’s probably a pain if they have a long away trip down south and still have a couple of hours added on top after snd before the coach gets back ect

Most players will be picked up on the way in that instance, I know not all players commute to the ground for away days

Going back to my OP I mentioned about several players car-sharing so maybe each one of the sharers only has to drive/commute once a week.

Buckley might even still live there. I remember after my grandad pointed the house out to me I always looked out the window when passing on the way to my uncle and aunt's house. Was very impressed when I finally caught a glimpse of Alan Buckley doing a bit of gardening on the front.
