The two long journeys to the south-west to face Plymouth and Exeter mean they will be travelling around 350 miles further than in the last campaign. The Bantams will journey 6,056 miles – not allowing for the standard diversions, hold-ups, road closures, one work man needing three junctions of motorway cones etc.
